Before coming to HELBUS, I had applied several times to Aalto University's School of Business, but was denied admission largely due to insufficient independent study and hobby-related schedule constraints. I could not apply to universities in other cities because of my hobby. I had heard about HELBUS before and had considered it, especially because of the language of instruction. Even though I'm completely Finnish, I still feel that I can express myself better in English. The price was the main obstacle. My father offered to finance my studies and I immediately accepted the offer. I was very positively surprised by the level of teaching and the steady routine of the lectures allowed me to keep up my training commitments alongside my studies. While exploring HELBUS, I did not find much information about student life, however, after starting the programme, it became clear that there is a very active student union here, which I ended up joining.

All in all, I am very satisfied with the education I received. I can sincerely recommend HELBUS to anyone who appreciates internationality or wants to study in English. If I had known earlier how regular and time-efficient the lectures would be, I would have applied years earlier!

That’s what led me to apply for the MBA programme at HELBUS. Now I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my professional life.

MBA-opintojen vaikutukset ovat näkyneet erityisesti ajattelutavassa. Olen saanut rohkeutta osallistua keskusteluihin oman asiantuntijaroolini ulkopuolelta, tarkastella asioita strategisemmin ja tuoda esiin näkemyksiä, jotka tukevat liiketoiminnan kokonaisuutta.
