My name is Emma Salminen and I’m a 20-year-old Hospitality Management student from Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences. I started my studies in August 2015 and I have taken part in all kinds of classes, so I’m not really oriented to just one subject, for example tourism or nutrition. I wanted to study Hospitality Management because it is such a diverse trade and because I live in Mikkeli, I naturally wanted to study at Mikkeli campus. The trade and the school were also already familiar to me, because for a moment I studied in open study path.
In the university of applied sciences you can combine theory and practise just the way you like. First I thought that I’m not good enough to go to the university of applied sciences, but now I’m pretty sure that I’m in the right place. The subjects that we’re studying are interesting and exercises are also very sensible. Via school I’ve been able to participate in different kinds of trainings, for example MATUPA (safety training for tourism students). Those have been my favourite things during my studies.
I would recommend Hospitality Management for all those people, who are even a little bit interested in tourism, nutrition, business economics or marketing. This trade is more than just working in the kitchen (that’s what people always think about us). Bachelors of Hospitality Management can work for example as head of marketing, planner or head of reception.
Why should someone come to Xamk and not anywhere else? Although there are many students in Xamk (9000), there is room and time for everyone. Teachers take care of their students and the food is also great! Student organizations plan lots of events and activities also for the free time. That is really good, because then students can find new friends, for example at game nights and student parties.
I have a few plans for the future. I’m striving to graduate in three years and after that I would like to work as much as possible. I may already have a job before I graduate, but I want to have more experiences in different kinds of workplaces. After a few years of working, I’d like to study to become a Master of Hospitality Management. I will probably come to Xamk again, because I just enjoy studying here so much!
