“Majors in finance”

Abdirisag A

Finland,
Business Studies, 2023

Overall

Our lecturers are one of a kinds ones. Extremely knowledgeable and professional staff that teaches their students the most relevant topics in a profound way. They challenge us with assignments and presentations relevant to subjects which have been taught during the course.

Likewise, our students are multinational and the cultural differences brings joy and banter to the campus.

Careers

Metropolia do provide internship positions to its students from domestic stages all the way to global stages. However, students may not always be compatible with the provided positions. For instance, I haven't encountered with a position relevant to my interests.

Pros

Our professors

Cons

The campuses' food provision mechanisim.
