Studying International Business
Maria Medvedeva, International Business student
I chose Karelia University because of the close proximity to my home town Petrozavodsk in Russia. Moreover, it is also possible to take some additional design courses, so it sounded very attractive to me since I am a creative person. Another point was that usually university students spend periods abroad on study excursions. This opportunity also sounded good, because I like to travel and discover different countries!
In our curriculum there are several interesting subjects with actual company cases to work with. The company case has been the highlight of my studies! It gave me a range of new skills and opportunities! Also, our curriculum includes study excursions to different countries. Last year we went to explore the medieval streets of Tallinn, and modern beauties of Helsinki. During our excursion we visited several companies; this gave us a unique opportunity to discover business from inside. This year we are going to have an amazing adventure to the capital of Sweden!
As for my future I plan to go on exchange, and do my internship abroad as well. Our university supports and encourages students to utilize all opportunities to achieve their goals!
