The master's programme is rooted in the Nordic business environment, offering an up-to-date and international study experience that gives you the skills needed to move from an expert role to a proactive leadership position. You and your fellow students form a diverse background of different business areas and cultures, which will enrich your studies and expand your personal networks both nationally and internationally. As a student, you can expect top-quality teaching by our educators who are a mixed group of business professionals and academics with extensive experience in their respective fields. We actively collaborate with industry experts, ensuring that you are provided with the latest input from both practice and research. At Arcada, we take pride in the personal guidance educators give our students, and this is also something our students and alumni continue to highlight as one of the top advantages of studying at our UAS.BMT comprises 90 ECTS with studies lasting either one and a half years (full-time studies) or three years (part-time studies). An applicant can apply to either option or to both. The application process is the same for both options. As the part-time option may not qualify for student residence permit to Finland, applicants who need a residence permit to Finland are recommended to apply to the full-time option only. Both the full-time and part-time programmes offer the same courses, with the full-time option featuring a more intensive schedule. Lectures are typically held in the late afternoon, evenings or during weekends. The programme follows an agile and blended learning approach, combining on-campus sessions with online study components. Since part of the teaching is conducted on campus, you need to ensure the attendance of the sessions in person.
