Department of Business Economics

In the Department of Business Economics there are about 700 students working towards the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. Most are full-time students who study in the daytime but part-time studies in the evenings are also possible. The Department is located right in the heart of Vaasa.

The degree programme of Business Economics emphasises entrepreneurship, comprehensive way of thinking and working independently. In addition to the practically oriented basic and professional studies, the six months’ practical training period and specialised professional studies provide the students with knowledge and skills that meet the demands of the working life.

The atmosphere in the department of Business Economics is international: there are degree programmes available in the languages of Finnish, Swedish, English and partly in German. Even still studying multilingually is not dependent on degree programme. Student exchange is an essential part of internationality along with a rich variety of teachers with different cultural backgrounds.
