Supportive, International and Very Practical Study Environment

Xamk offers an international study environment with a clean, modern campus, convenient facilities, and a supportive community. The location of Kotka Campus by the sea provides a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere for learning. I wanted a practical approach to education, and Xamk was the perfect choice for me. My goal is to apply what I learn here to build a successful career in Finland or neighboring countries.

Learning logistics in practice

I’ve always been interested in logistics. It opens up the world of supply chains that I imagined. One of the highlights of the programme is visiting real workplaces, such as large logistics companies, to see operations in action. It’s so much more exciting than just watching videos online!

The study format is flexible: mostly contact teaching, but it can switch to online when needed. This flexibility helps me balance studies with personal life, though it requires good self-discipline and time management.

Xamk provides practical learning opportunities through business workshops and start-up project simulations. These experiences help me develop problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills—essential for working life.

The best thing about Xamk is its practical learning environment and supportive community!

Balancing studies and life

Studying as an adult is both challenging and exciting. Independence and responsibility are key. The flexibility of the programme allows me to pursue hobbies and improve other skills while studying. Meeting students from different countries and cultures has been a memorable part of my journey, even though working on projects together can sometimes be challenging.

Career prospects and dreams

Typical entry-level positions after graduation include logistics coordinator, supply chain assistant, warehouse supervisor, and inventory controller. Later, I aim to become a planner, manager, or logistics specialist. My dream job is to work in an international company, improving processes and making operations more efficient. Logistics is a dynamic field—every day is different, and companies worldwide need skilled professionals.
