Applying theory in practice provides you excellent strategic thinking and problem solving skills. During the first study year you will choose between two professional majors; Supply Chain Management or Marketing. Professional major studies are 30 ECTS and you will complete them during the second and third study year. Additionally, you can choose courses related to other business fields as elective courses from e.g. finance, human resource and strategic management. At the end of your studies, you will further strengthen your professional expertise in a work placement and with help of your bachelor’s thesis. This degree is a single degree of business administration, 210 ECTS . However, there is also a double-degree path for those who are interested in supply chain management and studying with our partner university, HTW Saar in Germany. This means that after two years at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, you will study your third year at our partner university, complete your fourth year at home or abroad, and be awarded with a double-degree: one Bachelor degree from Metropolia UAS, the other from the partner institution. For the time being, business studies are held at Metropolia's Myyrmäki campus. In August 2026 the studies are moving to the Myllypuro campus. Please note that the degree is planned to be completed in 3,5 years. In practice completing the degree takes minimum 3 years. During this time, you need to be present each semester.
