What are path studies?

Path studies are an alternative route to becoming a degree student. You will study the first-year studies together with the degree program group. After completion of path studies with good grades, you are welcome to apply to become a degree student through a separate application process. Please note that completing the path studies does not automatically guarantee admission as a degree student in a separate application process.

To whom are path studies suitable?

Path studies are right for you, if

  • your goal is a study right in a degree programme,
  • you want to take advantage of the intermediate year by studying purposefully,
  • you are ready for full-time studies and/or
  • you want to try to study at the University of Applied Sciences.

Content of European Business Administration path studies

European Business Administration (EBA) is a double-degree programme. This means that if you apply and get accepted as a degree student, you will study for two years in Finland and spend a full academic year at one of our EBA partner universities. When you successfully complete the requirements of both institutions, you will graduate with two Bachelor degrees: one from Metropolia UAS and the other from our partner institution. This gives you a clear competitive edge in the job market!

The European Business Administration path studies consist of 60 credits of basic business studies. The path studies are carried out together with our degree students, from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Language Skills

A minimum of B2 level English language skills are highly recommended in English language degree programmes. University of Applied Sciences studies require sufficient language skills and students are independently responsible of having such skills.

You can use the Dialang language test as a self-assessment tool to evaluate if your skills are sufficient to University of Applied Sciences level. The test includes the following sections of different fields of language skills: reading, listening, writing, vocabulary, and grammar.

Study Skills

Open UAS students are required to have the same university-level study skills as the Degree Students. Students themselves are responsible for having these skills. These skills include e.g. information searching skills and preparedness to write an essay answer. Usually, a secondary-level education (high school, vocational school) gives a good base for university-level studies.
