Good morning friends 🌞 We got some new student stories for you! 😍 This time we introduce you our second year International Business student Elli.
"Hello, my name is Elli Koskinen. 👋 I am a 25-year old second year International Business student at HAMK. I found the International Business Programme from a Finnish website and decided to apply. At this point I already knew I wanted to do business and for me it seemed to be the best option to study in English since I already spoke it well. Also for me it is important that there are as many doors open as possible when I graduate and getting an international degree will open a lot more doors to me in the future.
I personally love our school. The environment is international, all the teachers are nice and everyone comes along very well. I also feel like it is important to have teachers from foreign countries since a lot of the students come from different countries too. This helps the teachers understand the international students better because they are in a foreign country too and know how different it is."

From Jamaica to HAMK! 🙌 Daniel is Bachelor's student of Electrical and Automation Engineering at HAMK. This story is reposted from @studyinfinland - check it out! 😍
"My name is Daniel Kelly, I formerly attended the Wolmer's High School for Boys and I am from the island of Jamaica; I'm the first Jamaican student to ever attend HAMK. Coming to Finland is the biggest step I have taken outside of my comfort zone and I do not regret it. My favorite thing about studying in Finland is the abundance of nature. The pretty birds, clear lakes, fresh pure air and amazing people."

We love to hear your student stories! 😍 Here is one for you reposted from @hamktradenomi ✨
”How a shy and introvert girl become confident: My name is Amanjot and I am from India. I am very strong and passionate kind of girl who wants to make her own identity but who was also shy. The way of study in HAMK makes me more confident about myself because we do a lot of presentations. In my first presentation I was quite nervous but the encouragement and motivation from my teachers gave boost to my confidence.💪
The staff motivates the students in their classes, and with feedback sessions they talk to students also privately about their performance. So best thing about HAMK is that the teachers motivate and encourage students publicly, and with personal meetings they discuss where they are doing good and where they need to focus more, and about possible problems in their studies. In this way students don’t feel bad about themselves if the performance was not good for some reason. The staff of IB is very professional, and they know how to develop professional skills in their students.💯
I am enjoying my studies at HAMK, and this is the best gift that ever I dreamt of."😍

Vastuullisuussuunnitelmia hevosyrittäjille, päiväkodin pihan uudistamista, asiakastapahtuman järjestämistä… HAMKissa opiskellessa jalka on usein tukevasti työelämän oven välissä, sillä opiskelijamme pääsevät tiiviisti mukaan ratkomaan työelämän haasteita. 💡 Tilanne onkin todellinen win-win molemmille - opiskelija oppii ja yritys hyötyy. Opiskelijat tulevat myös tutuiksi yrityksille ja monesti opiskelijoiden joukosta bongataan juuri ne hyvät tyypit, joita voi palkata suoraan! 🙌 Lue tammikuun uutiskirjeestä lisää esimerkkejä, mitä kaikkea opiskelijamme ovat päässeet tekemään ➡️ hamk.fi/uutiskirje #HAMK
