Timur Voinov, Russia
My name is Timur Voinov. I am a 20-year-old student from Russia. With a passion for international business and a drive to succeed, I found myself studying in Joensuu. The reputation of Finland for its top-notch education system and the tranquil environment attracted me. Karelia UAS, with its focus on practical learning seemed to be the perfect educational institution for me.
As I approach the end of my studies, my sights are set on improving my expertise in international trade. I am drawn to the opportunities that Finland and the Joensuu region offer. In the future, I see myself in a role where I can use my financial analysis skills, perhaps as a cross-cultural business consultant, helping businesses bridge gaps in international markets.
In the studies, the focus on real-world business scenarios equips students with the skills needed to excel in the competitive global market. What I have especially enjoyed during my studies is the genuine support and guidance from the staff members, along with the emphasis on practical experiences through projects and collaborations with local businesses. The study methods are versatile: traditional lectures, hands-on workshops, interactive discussions and case studies.
Joensuu, with its breathtaking natural beauty and safe, student-friendly environment and a vibrant student life, is an ideal place for students. Choosing Joensuu and Karelia UAS has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions of my life.
