YOU ARE YOUR FUTURE!

Maria Loukola is finishing her thesis in international marketing. She tells us that the best thing about the BBA studies has been the intercultural atmosphere in the classroom, created especially by foreign students and merited lecturers from around the world. “It is an incredible advantage to be able to work with different cultures and languages already while studying”, Maria says.

“The cherry on the icing was spring 2007, which I got to spend in Annecy, France, as an exchange student at the Université de Savoie. The scenery is spectacular: the city is located by a crystal-clear lake and surrounded
by mountains. And who could resist the magnetism of the French culture?”

Maria has been working as a Secretary of International Affairs at Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences since her practical training period. “It’s great to deal with internationalization – the job description is virtually without limits. I also have an ache in my heart to go abroad again some day.”
