The Education Programme ‘Russia as Area of Business Operations’

Closed

The target of the departments of higher education in Kajaani is to strengthen the Russian know-how and to advance the region’s internationalisation. This project was aimed at designing and implementing a high-quality education programme by utilising the know-how and the existing educational structures of the University of Applied Sciences and the Kajaani University Consortium, which would increase the business knowledge about Russia needed in business and corporate operations, combined with the knowledge of the Russian culture and language, inter-cultural communications and cooperation. The purpose was to engage at least 30 students in extension studies (multiform learning) of 25 credits, of which at least 80 percent would complete the studies. The project also wanted to survey the operative cooperation potential of the Kajaani University Centre and the Kajaani University of Applied Sciences, in order to strengthen the Russian know-how in Kainuu. The cooperation can increase the national and international competitiveness and attraction of the higher education institutes and develop their operational impact and quality, particularly in the sector of Russian know-how. The intention was also to create a Finnish-Russian cooperation network during the project and thus improve new cooperation initiatives, projects and business opportunities.
