The Majors offered both as daytime and evening courses are Accounting and Finance & Marketing and Sales. International Business Communication and Supply Chain Management courses are mainly offered as daytime teaching, and People Management courses are mainly offered as evening teaching. Personal study paths can be tailored flexibly as the Professional Competence courses complementing the student’s Major can be chosen from different Majors and other Haaga-Helia degrees. The thesis is written in the field of the Major.  

A variety of language studies are offered in the degree. The degree offers excellent opportunities for networking and benefiting from cross-cultural collaboration.
