Student story: Ayeman Rahman

I am Ayeman Rahman from Bangladesh. I am a 2. year student in the Inter­na­tional Busi­ness programme. I am 22 years old but in this short life I have already had the oppor­tu­nity to study at three differ­ent univer­si­ties. After complet­ing my high school in 2020, I chose to study abroad to explore the world of knowledge.

After explor­ing student life in Poland and Canada, I ended up in Joensuu, Finland to study at Karelia UAS. I have found the way of teach­ing suit­able for anyone who wants to work in corpo­ra­tions or start their own busi­ness. In the future, I plan to start my own market­ing business.

Karelia UAS offers courses which are directly applic­a­ble to working life. I am now near to complet­ing my 3rd semes­ter but already I know how to grow my network in the corpo­rate world and work in an inter­na­tional atmos­phere. What I enjoy, is the coop­er­a­tion with the working life. On some courses we get to learn directly from the companies.

I have enjoyed the possi­bil­i­ties for long term and short term exchange programmes. I have partic­i­pated in an inten­sive programme in Germany and next summer I get to go to Belgium.

Joensuu is a student-friendly city. One-third of the popu­la­tion are students. In Joensuu, life is not as hectic as in bigger cities but in terms of oppor­tu­ni­ties, Joensuu has much to offer.
