What it is

You learn marketing, accounting, management, entrepreneurship and business ethics, then pick a theme package such as global supply chains, entrepreneurship, marketing or people management, with data analysis running through the courses. Real business cases, group projects and presentations are the main way of working, and an exchange semester abroad is built into the degree, followed by a capstone course. Electives can come from other Aalto schools, and options include an IT minor or the selective Aalto Founder School. Graduates work as project or business development managers, marketers, consultants and entrepreneurs, and the degree leads into the Aalto master's in business.
