The entrepreneurship SEAMK in the curricula

Entrepreneurship at SeAMK — skills for every career

At SeAMK, entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting a company—it’s a way to understand and navigate how work is changing across society.

Why it matters?
Technology, business models and workplaces are evolving fast in both the public and private sectors.
Careers will increasingly mix roles across sectors and periods of full-time/part-time entrepreneurship.
That’s why we focus on entrepreneurial competencies: initiative, opportunity spotting, collaboration across disciplines, and turning ideas into outcomes.

What you’ll study?
Begins in year one with the common 5 ECTS Entrepreneurship & Innovation basics for all students.
Continues throughout your degree with programme-specific content that shows how entrepreneurship appears in everyday, field-specific work.
All first-year students join SeAMK Innovation Week, applying design thinking to real briefs from working life.

Learn by doing
Project-based learning in Projektipaja (Project Workshop), work-life oriented projects, and the multi-professional SeAMKPro environment.
Traineeships typically take place in companies and most theses are commissioned by organisations—great for your CV and network.

If you want to start a venture
You’ll get guidance to assess market potential, find funding, and understand protection/licensing.
Keep developing your idea in the Y-Zone Business Hub alongside your studies.

Our goal
Not simply to create more companies, but to equip every student to recognise change in their field, connect across professions, and build personal competencies to thrive—whether you become an entrepreneur or a valued professional in any organisation.
