• Resumen

  • Most of the foreign degree students of Lahti University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Business Studies leave Finland after their graduation. However, their newly gained expertise could also stay in Finland and be available for the local and global companies and the society after their graduation. To make the students more committed to staying in Finland, they should be better integrated into the Finnish school system and society.

    This is a common objective of many actors operating in the integration field. The different universities and other educational organizations should also understand their role and responsibility in this demanding process. Due to the current flight of educated foreign graduates, Lahti University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Business Studies decided to construct its own integration programme for its foreign degree students.
