Hanken School of Economics Multiple locations Overview
The Intellectual Property Law programme at Hanken School of Economics is carried out in close cooperation with trade and industry, which ensures it remains at the forefront of developments in IP law.
Why IP Law?
As the protection of all types of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets) becomes more and more important, the need for experts with competence in both law and business is growing exponentially.

As the only Finnish university in the European Union Intellectual Property Office University Network, our major offers a unique opportunity to network with students from other elite European institutions, as well as supervisors from EUIPO, which administrates European trademarks and design registration.
The graduates are equipped with
- comprehensive knowledge of the intellectual property laws in Europe and internationally
