Katha­rina Abelita: Towards envi­ron­men­tally friendly systems

Degree Programme in Indus­trial Management

I would recom­mend the Degree Programme in Indus­trial Manage­ment to those who find satis­fac­tion in being effi­cient, effec­tive, and produc­tive. It is also a good study path for people who, like me, would like to make our exist­ing systems more envi­ron­ment-friendly while at the same time, econom­i­cally viable.

Indus­trial Manage­ment is a new degree programme at Karelia UAS. That is being devel­oped along­side compa­nies to produce job-ready indus­trial manage­ment engi­neers. Since I aim to be employed in Finland someday, I was easily attracted to apply to this partic­u­lar programme. I have chosen Karelia UAS as my univer­sity also because of its schol­ar­ship programme.

I am one of the first students of Degree Programme in Indus­trial Manage­ment. Due to the pandemic, all lectures were conducted online during our first year of studies. Currently, we have contact lessons and finally got to meet every­one in person. I’m happy to meet such a group with differ­ent back­grounds and unique person­al­i­ties and look forward to working with them. I am also excited to learn from our teach­ers, who are also very inter­est­ing and knowl­edge­able in their fields of expertise.

As an inter­na­tional student, I find that Karelia UAS has been the perfect choice for me as it is one of the few Finnish schools offer­ing this degree in English and at a reason­able price without sacri­fic­ing the quality of education.
