Degree Programme in International Business Management (MBA)
Seinäjoki University of Applied Scieces offers a Master programme in International Business Management in cooperation with Central Ostrobothnia University of Applied Sciences. The programme aims to provide training for specialist and management tasks in businesses that operate internationally. The Master’s degree is implemented on a two-year time scale.
The second-cycle (Master’s) degree taken at a university of applied sciences is a second-cycle degree in the European higher education system and gives the same qualification for municipal and state office as a Master’s degree taken at a university.
You are eligible if you have a higher education degree completed in Finland or a higher education degree in the field of study completed outside Finland. You also need to have at least three years of work experience in business and administration and a command of English required for the studies.
The programme aims to increase professional knowledge of international business. Having completed the programme, the student has grown into a business management professional capable of independent decision-making, working with management or demanding expert tasks in businesses that operate in the international market or are planning to go international.
Multimodal learning methods are used. Each course includes two two-day contact sessions on an average. The emphasis of learning is on independent work as well as solving distant learning assignments and studying online. The development project is an essential part of the studies.
The first-year studies focus on the management and development of SMEs in the international operating environment. In the second year students specialise either in management (courses arranged in Kokkola) or international marketing (courses arranged in Seinäjoki). The final thesis consists of a development project conducted for a business or other organisation. The attachment on the right shows the structure of studies.
