You will get to know business processes related to, for example, strategic management. Your studies include courses in human resources management, and you will learn how to develop HR processes. You will also study research and development-related subjects to support you in the thesis project that you will work on during your last study year. You can also join different research and development projects and other customer projects, in which you can practise the skills you have learned during your studies. You will deepen your knowledge in marketing and supply management as well as in analytical business management. You will learn many practical skills, for example, how to do marketing research.

All the studies are organised in a multicultural environment since our students represent over 40 nationalities. The studies are conducted in English, and the teaching is organised on weekdays on our Talonpojankatu campus in Kokkola. Some of the courses are offered as online studies and the studies require some independent work. However, you will work also in groups on different projects and assignments while practising your communication and teamwork skills. Centria co-operates very closely with the working life. Experts visit our lectures, and we also make company visits to the companies in our area. You can also participate in some interesting real-life projects. These projects are an excellent opportunity to show your know-how and perhaps get a summer job in one of the companies. The studies also include work placement periods. During the work placement, you can practise your skills in an actual work environment and also get to know potential employers. A bachelor’s degree in business management gives you the readiness to work in various positions. The majority of our alumni work in private companies.
