If you already have enrolled on a Haaga-Helia implementation of International Business Law it is important that you inform both the teacher of your implementation and pia.vapaavuori@haaga-helia.fi during the first week of the implementation of your willingness to initiate the demonstration process. You will then be removed from the implementation by the course teacher.

The demonstration cannot be completed, if you are actively on an implementation of International Business Law or if you previously have received a grade for the course (0 - 5).

Please note that the demonstration process is based on your previously acquired skills and knowledge (e.g. through work) and therefore, no learning materials are provided for you for the demonstration exams and interview.

Accordingly, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the learning objectives of the course to decide whether your skills and competencies match them.
