Key Facts

The students will be taught both science-based decision making and understanding theories as well as how to use their knowledge in real-life cases and current challenges. This way the students get the best of both world - both the academic, more theory-heavy knowledge and practical knowledge from real-world cases. 

The programme will be taught full time in English, full-time and on-site in both Umeå and Vaasa. This means that the students graduating from the double degree programme will receive degrees from both universities. In the center of this programme is the idea of the students participating in so called experimental learning projects, where theory meets practice and the students will be addressing real-world financial and non-financial reporting challenges.

The Double Degree programme includes one semester at Umeå University in Umeå, Sweden and one semester at Hanken in Vaasa, Finland.
