The studies in the Master’s Degree Programme in Business Management consists of advanced professional business studies (30 ECTS), elective and optional studies (30 ECTS) and master’s thesis (30 ECTS). The studies provide the student with skills and competences in the fields of strategic management, leadership and change management, management of networks, financial management, business relationships and international projects. The programme also includes studies in research and development methods. Elective and optional studies, for example sales management, can be taken from the offerings of other master’s degree programmes. A central part of MBA studies is the master’s thesis, in which you will not only develop the knowledge and skills in a certain study field and specific topic, but you will also have the possibility to enhance the skills of leading teams and work groups. The programme is working life as well as research and development oriented and thus the studies can usually be connected with the students’ current employers’ objectives.

Entry requirement to the programme is a minimum of three years’ relevant work experience gained after a higher education degree.
