Business school
The beginnings of international programmes in Finnish polytechnics reflect the internationalisation progress of higher education in Finland. After the first few years of operation the polytechnics realised that in order to participate in the EU exchange programmes that were opening up for Finland after she joined the EU, they had to offer courses in English to attract exchange students and staff. As Finland has gained a reputation as a country of high-tech innovation and people who are the first to test any new innovations, it has become an attractive alternative for not only exchange but also regular students.
