Alexander K\u00e4rki is Finnish-Cana\u00addian student who studies International Business<\/a> in Valkeakoski, Finland. At the moment he is also studying in a double degree programme at the In\u00adstitute of Technology Tralee, Ireland.<\/p>\n

Alexander wanted to study in the double degree programme because being able to travel and learn business practices in other parts of Europe re\u00adally caught his attention in the begin\u00adning. In addition, he is able to expand on his accounting knowledge and education from Finland and Canada. He also wanted to make new connec\u00adtions with industry professionals and other like-minded students. Complet\u00ading a double degree means also hard work \u2013 writing a thesis while studying in Ireland and keeping in touch with the support network of teachers in Finland need focusing.<\/p>\n

Alexander believes that there are many benefits in studying in the dou\u00adble degree programme:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Employers are looking for peo\u00adple with a vast array of experiences, in many situations. The double degree programme allows students to gain those experiences they wouldn\u2019t other\u00adwise be able to, which probably makes double degree students better candi\u00addates for most job openings, Alexander says. He thinks that these studies have opened up doors in the form of life long connections, both in friendships and business contacts.<\/p>\n

Alexander says that the best thing in the Double Degree Programme has been a chance to travel to new places he would never have had the chance to go to before, as well as meeting and connecting with all the other students who are travelling the same path as he.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We have an instant connection when we meet each other and I have built some great lasting friendships af\u00adter being so fortunate to spend a year with some fantastic people.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The International Business degree programme has 12 students studying their double degree in partner univer\u00adsities and at the moment we have two students here in International Business from our partner universities. We cur\u00adrently have five double degree partners in three countries, says Dawn Aarnio, lecturer from International Business. Many other degree programmes at HAMK offer also double degree op\u00adportunities for students.<\/p>\n
