Review of Haaga-Helia

International Business degree is horrible.

International Business degree is horrible.
90% of the teachers cannot teach and won't even teach you. Attendance is mandatory, but you don't learn anything in class and they make you do assignments ALL THE TIME. The amount of work you put into courses is not always related to the amount of credits you get -- in some courses, you work for hours and hours every week for an entire semester and you still only get 5 CR.

Many courses are nothing but waste of your time; they're poorly constructed, have nothing to do with international business, instructions are unclear, and the teachers have no idea what they're doing.

It is extremely hard to adjust your studies with work since the teachers don't care about you, and lower your grade due to absence even if you do all the assignments on time. There are many assignments weekly which require a lot of your free time.

What's the most inhuman part of the university is that they do not care about your health. They make you choose between treating your sicknesses and injuries and attending classes. Some teachers have told me that going to a surgery and getting treated for my sickness will lower my grades because I am not attending the classes. My academic advisor said it wouldn't be fair for other students if I have the same chances to get better grades when they attend the classes meanwhile I'm at a hospital? I've never heard anything more ridiculous.

All my fellow students agree about the extremely poor quality of the education, and many have transferred to other universities.

DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS DEGREE
