Do you want to study for a BBA degree fully online? Apply for International Business Online at Turku University of Applied Sciences!

Would you like to be a marketing manager of a fast growing IT company in Finland, a business strategy consultant in EU, an international sales manager in Singapore or start up your own business? These are examples of some of the positions our International Business Online programme may open for you.

The International Business Online (IB Online) programme provides a new and interactive way of acquiring a BBA degree fully online. Together we develop knowledge and skills through weekly interactive online sessions, working in virtual multicultural study teams with authentic projects and working life oriented methods, guided by experienced online teaching staff.

How will you study online?

Online studies give you a possibility to combine studies to work or other situations in life. The studies are full-time, but since there are usually only 1–2 online meetings per week with the teacher and your study group, you can work on your assignments during other times either in small groups, in pairs or individually, depending on the course.

The International Business Online programme utilizes technical tools provided and supported by the university. You will also gain digital work competencies by studying online and will be able to use those skills in your future career in international online business environments. The curriculum consists of basic and professional studies, optional studies, practical training and Bachelor's thesis.
