Internationality

Internationality has been a part of VAMK from the very beginning. The Vaasa region is one of the strongest export areas in Finland (12% of total Finnish industrial exports), and there is a great demand for people who understand international business. VAMK’s goal is to train international experts for working life in the region. Upon graduation, our students have the international experience required for an export-oriented work life.
