Aalto University Junior School of Business course “How to be successful in negotiations” combined theory, interactive learning practices, and an English course in a fun and engaging way. The course was a great success and gathered plenty of positive feedback from the high school students and the attending teachers.

The course was organized fully online on two Saturdays during November and included assignments before, during, and after the contact sessions. During the intensive two days, the students improved their interaction and communication skills as well as learned new words and negotiation phrases in English. The students solved similar problems that business students at Aalto University do in their studies. The interactive exercises provided an excellent opportunity to learn more teamwork skills and creative problem-solving. As the course is designed in collaboration with Etu-Töölön Lukio, the students received high school course credits as well as course completion certificates from Aalto University Junior.

Some student feedback from the course

“Very important stuff, I rarely feel like high school courses teach things that are actually practical in life but this course certainly made me feel like I learned something important. I was the one who requested more theory but I also like the practical tasks. I liked the balance.”

“It was a course that really impressed with its teachings and diverse exercises.”

“I think having a chance to participate in a course like this is very amazing and it helped me grow to understand better in understanding and communicating with people in more than just a few ways.”
