Your university-level business studies begin with the Bachelor’s degree. The degree consists of 180 ECTS-credits, which is calculated to be three years of full time studying. This includes basic studies, specialisation (major) and minor studies, language studies, elective studies, and ultimately your Bachelor's thesis. The specific selection of required courses and the structure of your studies depends on which B.Sc-programme you’ve been admitted to.

The official language of the program is Finnish, but many courses are taught in English. You can find more information about the degree requirements here.
