The TAMK BBA in International Business is an inspiring and multicultural learning environment where the students learn basic business skills and acquire attitudes essential for success in today’s international enterprise.

The first year of studies offers a broad perspective on business operations. The second year of studies brings a deeper insight into international companies. At this stage, students start to create their own career path by choosing a specialisation out of four options: 

In the third year students go abroad for a semester at one of TAMK's 300 partner universities worldwide. In addition, students spend a further 5 months abroad in a practical training placement. Ideally, the employer will also commission the Bachelor’s Thesis – a project requiring students to apply their knowledge to solving a specific problem for a company.

Students interested in tourism as a business area may choose professional studies in tourism for the second study year. A full year of tourism related modules covering a variety of essential topics within the industry, giving students an excellent background for demanding tasks in tourism.
