JAMK University of Applied Sciences is offering a special study programme in Business Studies in Latin America for the eighth time at its partner institution in Buenos Aires, Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE). Students will familiarise themselves with the challenges which Finnish and European industries, companies or organizations may encounter when doing business in Latin America.
The programme focuses on the economy and business environment of Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Mexico. The competences and learning outcomes of this Latin America business programme form an integral part of the degree programme at the home institution of each participating student. Around 50 students from Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences will be selected for this programme each year.
"Students get the chance to discover the opportunities but also to recognise possible risks in operating in the Latin American business environment and culture. Students are encouraged to develop an ability to resolve problems from the different perspectives of leadership and strategic management," says Risto Korkia-Aho, Senior Lecturer and International Affairs Coordinator of the School of Business and Services Management at JAMK University of Applied Sciences.
