INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) 210
cr

”Ready for the challenges
of working
life”

Maiju Schrey graduated in
2007. Nowadays she works as service
assistant
in Vaasa at Vacon Plc, which is one of the
leading suppliers
of variable speed AC
drives. Maiju handles service orders
and
communicates daily with customers all around the
world.
Besides her day work, she works as
aerobic instructor at a
local
gym.

Your Motives to
Choose VAMK?
The degree programme
in
International Business made me to move
from Pori to Vaasa,
as the possibility to
study business and improve language skills
at
the same time seemed exciting and challenging.
In addition Vamk provided excellent
possibilities to complete a part of the studies
abroad.

Your Experiences of Practical
Training?

I had my practical
training done in two periods. The first three
months I completed in Augsburg, Germany in Euro
Info Centre of the local chamber of commerce. My
tasks included answering to customers’ inquiries
about the EU commerce and attending an
international
e-forum. During that time my
German language skills improved
enormously!
The second period I completed at Vacon, in
the
training team that time. Later on I got
the opportunity to continue
as summer trainee
and to write my final thesis for the
company.
I still work there, so I have
absolutely no regrets I chose that way to begin
my career with.

Your Opinion of
the Degree Programme?

The
degree programme offered a versatile overview to
both international marketing and practices of
foreign trade. I think there was a good
combination of theory and practice in my studies
and aft er completing exchange studies,
practical training and the fi nal thesis
I
really felt ready to meet the challenges of
working life.

The Best Memories
of the Studies?

Already during
the fi rst
study year I made great friends,
among those were many international
exchange
students: we even made a trip to Lapland
together. Of course my time as exchange student
in Germany was something I will never forget as
well as working as tutor for new
IB-students.

Your Plans for the
Future?

I’m really happy with
my work at
the moment. The studies gave me a
good basic knowledge about business that can now
get deepened in working life. Perhaps some day I
will continue my German studies at university or
take part in a MBA programme.
