We announced recently that we will be switching to a newer programme specification starting in the Fall. This new programme retains virtually all of the benefits of the previous pathway, but includes many significant improvements, such as a simpler assignment brief, broader scope and an increased visibility of key development areas. One of the new […]

I have just completed my second tour of duty at HELBUS. There is a lot to love about Helsinki and the Finnish people. They may be initially reserved, but once they are comfortable with you and open up they are great fun; although you can also skip this preliminary uncomfortable stage with alcohol. If you […]

It was a great pleasure and joy to teach U08: Research Project to the HELBUS students. To carry out their own research for a business project was a new endeavour for most of them, and I was thus rather impressed with how open-minded they were to new processes and their willingness to ‘give it a go’. There were also […]

The fall term is a busy time for HELBUS as we have two cohorts running simultaneously; one of which is quickly approaching their graduation date. In September, HELBUS welcomed Dr Cristiana Sappa to steer the class of 2014 through the murky waters of business law in the form of Unit 05: Aspects of Contract and Negligence […]

HELBUS recently welcomed Dr. Costas Theodoridis, Senior Lecturer in International Marketing from Manchester Metropolitan’s Business School, to teach the Business Decision Making unit.
