Johannes Saaristo

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!

Päätin täydentää osaamistani HELBUSin ja University of Northamptonin MBA-tutkinnolla. Olin jo työelämässä huomannut, että yhdistämällä teknisen ja kauppatieteellisen osaamisen voi erottautua ja edetä vaativampiin johtotehtäviin.
