About the programme

We offer a bachelor’s degree programme that focuses on enterprise resource planning, especially SAP software solutions. This programme is perfect for you, who want to study business management but also get specialised ERP expertise on top of that. The demand for ERP skilled employees is rising all the time, so now is a great time to get an education that meets the needs of the businesses but also offers lots of work opportunities.

The BBA studies at Centria UAS are very practically oriented. You will start from the basics, so you don’t need previous business studies or work experience. During your studies, you will focus on ERP/SAP. You will study subjects such as ERP systems and functionalities, data warehousing, business process modelling and advanced business intelligence. This knowledge will be your specialised competitive edge on the labour market after your graduation.

You will also study many business-related subjects, such as economics, accounting, environmental, strategic and HR management. You will also study research and development related subjects to support you with your thesis during your last study year. You can also join different research, development and other customer projects, in which you can put your skills into practice. You will deepen your knowledge in information technology, including the basics of programming and relational Databases & SQL. You will also develop your social, interpersonal and self-management skills, innovativeness and creativity. All the studies are organized in a multicultural environment since our students represent over 40 nationalities.

Centria works in close collaboration with some of the biggest employers in the field of SAP in Finland. We provide an SAP Next-Gen Lab environment that serves as a learning space for our students. The enterprise resource planning lecturers at Centria are SAP certified, and we also offer our students a chance to develop the knowledge and skills required for an SAP certification (TS410). Centria is also a member of the SAP University Alliance, which means we can provide our students with access to the SAP Business Suite family of software solutions.

The studies are conducted in English, and the teaching is organised on weekdays on our Talonpojankatu campus in Kokkola. Some of the courses are offered as online studies and they require some independent work. However, you will also work in groups on different projects and assignments while practising your communication and teamwork skills.
