MBA and other Master Level Business Degree in Finland

I have recently completed my Bachelor's in Information Management (BIM) form St. Xavier's  College. I have even worked as an Intern in Himalayan Bank Limited for about 6 months. I was Involved in a project named as Personal Information System (PIS)  and Library Management System (LMS). I have learned the data base system of human resource department and have developed my Interpersonal skills working over there.
 
I am a self motivating person having interest in banking sector so I want to do MBA in Finland and as My parents can not afford much more for my further study I even need schoolarship Programme for my further study. So I need much more information regarding this. I have 3.29 grades in My BIM.


Dear Friend, thanks for mailing me.

Since you are interested in MBA program, let me tell you some of the primary informations about MBA and Business degrees in Finland.

1. Most of the Master level Business programs including MBA demands minimum of 2 years of Experience after Bachelor degree. Since you did not mention when you graduated in BIM, I can't tell you whether you are qualified for all colleges or not. Also, your role on the project is not clear. Whether you are involved as developer or managerial tasks. It is also considered during admission decision. If you do not have minimum of 2 yrs of degree and managerial experiences, you might not qualify on all of the business colleges of Finland. But, don't worry,  if you can convince any of the professor of the universities, these matters are considered and you can be accepted for admission.

2. Most of the Business degree in Finland are considered very good on Europe, so getting admission is not easy. Even, if you get admitted, they demand and occupy much time during your studies; so you might not maintain part time or weekend jobs during your studies due to heavy study load. But, it does not mean study is very hard. Study is relatively easy, but it is occupying.

3. After your degree, you have really good scope here in Finland as well as other European countries. Even, during your summer breaks, there are chances of getting jobs in reputed companies  if you are doing MBA or related master level business degree.

Now, coming to your queries, 
You can negotiate with your university about Scholarship, and as much as I know; most of the business colleges provide scholarship to limited students. Since here is no tuition fee, the scholarship will be to cover your living expenses here. So, the best process should be start sorting colleges and communicate with professors and admission office about admission, scholarship and job issues. If college could not provide you but can offer you a in-campus job, which is less occupying, it could be another way to cover your living expense here. There is also chances of working outside as part time for 25 hours a week, but, as I told above, it will somehow hamper your performance on your studies since MBA degree is very occupying. Anyway, it depends upon yourself as well. Some students could manage very good studies as well as job as well. It is all depends upon your personal caliber as well.

Some polytechnics also offer MBA and Business degrees. So, browse through the list of Polytechnics to explore them:  Polytechnics in Finland

I would suggest you to make communicate with following university colleges as well along with Polytechnics. Following university colleges are considered very good for Business Degree:

Helsinki School of Economics (HSE)
Turku School of Economics (TSE)
Lappeenranta School of Business
Hanken Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration

Best of Luck !!

  4. Yes, its true that MBA is not free of cost in Finland. The fee is very expensive. HSE (Helsinki School of Economics) is one of the best B schools in Europe or even in the world. But the fee is quite expensive also Oulu univeristy (I guess) has MBA but u need to pay. There is MBA in Hanken (helsinki) as well but be prepared to pay hefty bills. If u r paying so much fee I STRONGLY recommend to head for Eng speaking countries. But other business courses like Masters in Finance, Marketing are free of cost in all institutions.

  5. I think this is a very informative website specially regarding information regarding Finland and as a destination for Nepalese. I think you should advertise a little so that other Nepalese also visit this website for information regarding Finland.

  14. If you are talking about Finland, they don't have scholarship designed only for Nepali students or any particular country. It's up for grabs for qualified students from around the world. Would you please visit scholarship section in this blog and other similar posts!

  15. I am a Paksitani national and i have graduated from Institute of Space Technology in Communication Systems Engineering in 2008. I have no work experience. I would like to ask you a few questions.

    1. How do you think that this degree will benefit me? Do you think that this degree is beneficial only for experienced personnel?
    2. What will be my job oppurtunities as i will not be an MBA and i know that a business degree from Helsinki is very valuable. Do you think it is the same for this M.Sc pro gramme. ( I am very much concerned about this where would my job sector be, as i actually wanted to do an MBA but it is unaffordable for me)

    Looking forward for your response.

    regards,
    M.Faisal
