Competence development
We are the only union that works actively to develop the BBA degree and promote its recognition. Our goal is for business graduates to become increasingly employable future workers who are well prepared for the challenges and changes of working life. BBAs are employed in positions that match their education, and employers know and recognise the competence provided by the BBA degree. The working life-oriented degree is complemented by continuous learning, and learning does not end with graduation.

A BBA is an expert
Our goal is that those who have completed the diverse BBA degree are well prepared for expert positions and are able to describe their skills, and that the degree enables them to be employed in positions that match their education.

Appreciation of the degree
Strengthening the appreciation of the Master’s (UAS) degree
