My name is Kati. I started studying for a degree programme in Sales and Marketing in Kouvola in August 2017.
My studies are very flexible and a lot can be done online; I’m only at the school for 2 or 3 days every week. That’s the most convenient option for me and studying at Xamk is relaxed and easy to do while working.
I live near the capital and my journey to Kouvola takes about an hour on the train. I can do my homework while I travel, then I have more time with my family at home.
I am keen to develop myself and learn new things and my Degree Programme is very interesting. The best thing about Xamk for me so far has been the sense of belonging.
I think the qualification will be a real benefit for those wanting to work in sales or marketing professions. The career prospects within those industries are good and there are plenty of job opportunities and alternatives.
At this moment, I don’t know what my dream job is but I’m ready to find it when graduate.
