History
Hanken School of Economics, one of the oldest business schools in the Nordic countries, was established more than one hundred years ago. Today, Hanken is the only stand-alone business school in Finland.
Education
We offer academic programmes on all levels (BSc, MSc and PhD) at two locations, in Helsinki and Vaasa.
Hanken is the first university in Finland to introduce a mandatory semester abroad as an integrated part of the curriculum. The students are thus offered a unique opportunity to create their own international networks for life through an exchange or internship period abroad. These lifelong networks are created both internationally and at Hanken. They permeate the studies and play an important role in the excellent placement of our alumni on the international job market.
Hanken School of Economics' master's programme is ranked 57th in this year's edition of the Financial Times Masters in Management ranking. The result positions Hanken as one of the three highest ranked business schools in the Nordic region. The Financial Times annually ranks the best master’s programmes world-wide.
Research
Research at Hanken is carried out within all departments, with a special focus on four selected areas of strength. Many of our researchers are at the absolute forefront of their field. Our cooperation with the corporate world is reflected in joint research projects, in active interaction through our partner programme as well as the generous support we receive in our fundraising.
Career
Career Services act as a link between students and the corporate world, helping our students to find relevant employment.
Our comprehensive services offer companies convenient, reasonable priced and, when needed, custom-made solutions for recruiting students and promoting visibility through various events and marketing services.
