BusinessAcademy – Visit us and learn new ways of coaching your students!

BusinessAcademy (BA) is an innovative and entrepreneurial learning environment at Turku University of Applied Sciences. Our Team Coaches are senior advisors or professional business mentors who coach students in business and entrepreneurship. 

At BusinessAcademy, learning is based on working in business and joint projects, not forgetting theoretical learning. The BusinessAcademy learning path covers the theoretical learning process using training sessions and book circles. The learning agreement reflects the students' learning processes. Teams are able to deepen their learning by personalizing their learning path and by applying theory to the real-life projects at the same time. 

Students graduate with excellence in business as well as with entrepreneurial, innovation and teamwork competences and they are a true asset to working life.

We arrange opportunities for BA visits in Finnish, Swedish, English and French.
