International study environment opens doors to the world

Säde Viitanen, Aviation Business student

"As a 5th semester student of Aviation Business Bachelor programme, I have mastered Haaga-Helia’s philosophy of real-life projects that employ students throughout the studies. For me personally, such projects mean practical involvement with the biggest stakeholders of the aviation industry, where valuable experiences of “hands on” learning are continuously taking place.

During my project-based aviation studies, I have gained rich insights into the industry, from the perspectives of many various stakeholders. I have gained a set of useful skills, including problem-solving, team work and critical thinking.

Yet most importantly, Aviation Business Bachelor offers a truly international environment, which I have experienced to be very beneficial, as I desire to build my career outside Finland. In fact, as a part of my studies, the greatest achievement was to become an intern for an aircraft manufacturer. I would not be where I am today without Aviation Business Bachelor."
