"The main reason for choosing the Bachelor of Business Administration programme was my passion for entrepreneurship which had developed already in my high school in Latvia. I was sure about the direction of my BA studies, namely business or finance, and the BBA programme at the University of Tartu offered a great opportunity to cover the essence of business management and finance at the same time in an international environment."
