Sign up!Are you Finnish and want to study in English in an international group of Finnish and non-Finnish students? Are you from outside Finland and would like to study in a rich and rewarding international environment? Are you ready to challenge yourself in digital international business?
You will graduate from the Digital International Business Degree Programme for challenging international business, marketing and commerce careers. The programme, taught in English for both Finnish and non-Finnish students, will help you become an international professional able to communicate with people from various cultural backgrounds and take an active part in developing the world of work.
You study and learn in a truly international environment, as our lecturers and students come from over 30 different countries. The mixture of cultural and linguistic backgrounds brings your multi-cultural teamwork skills to a new level, deepening your understanding of practices in global companies. At the same time, you improve your English skills in realistic situations and in preparation for future careers.
We have a long tradition in teaching international business as well as teaching in English. At the same time, Finnish students will learn the necessary level of business communication in Finnish and Swedish according to the degree requirements, and that needed for certain employment positions, e.g. government posts. Non-Finnish students will also learn to communicate in Finnish and can progress to a business level in the language.
Studying is implemented in close cooperation with businesses, based on our award winning LCCE model which goes beyond the traditional classroom. As part of this method, you will work directly with companies in real-world projects as well as international RDI projects during your studies. This unique method also provides you with the networking opportunities to be in touch with companies to seamlessly step straight from your study path to your career path.
In addition to courses offered by Xamk, you can also make use of the versatile study opportunities offered by our international partner institutions. With some institutions, you can even complete a double degree.
Practical training during studies gives you hands-on experience in the real business world. The great thing about practical training is that you can complete it anywhere in the world.
