Great interest in Hanken's new Bachelor in Business programme
Hanken School of Economics’ new Bachelor in Business programme has attracted 1376 applicants in the first joint application. In addition, Hanken's master's programme in English breaks the all-time record with 1833 applicants.
The universities' first joint application for foreign language education has ended on 17 January 2024. Hanken's bachelor's and master's programmes in English have received a total of 3914 applications. Rector Ingmar Björkman is pleased with the high level of interest both in Finland and abroad.
"Our primary task is to educate responsible business graduates who promote a sustainable future, and to offer high-quality educational programmes in Swedish and English. We have spent a lot of time developing the new Bachelor in Business programme to create a programme that also ensures that foreign students get a strong foothold in the Hanken community and in Finnish society. Hanken is one of the best business schools in the world and the record number of applicants to our masters programme is in line with our best ever result in this year's edition of the Financial Times Masters in Management ranking.”
The bachelor's programme in English has 80 places. Around 300 students are admitted to Hanken's bachelor's programme in Swedish, which has an application deadline in March. The Bachelor in Business programme has applicants from as many as 80 different countries, of which about 60% live in Finland.

Fokus enbart på utsläpp gör hållbarhet till en prestation snarare än den bästa lösningen19.11.2024 10:39:11 EET | Pressmeddelande
I takt med att urbanisering och e-handel omformar vår värld har så kallade last-mile-leveranser blivit en kritisk länk i leveranskedjan och en central hållbarhetsutmaning. Ny forskning föreslår att ledare och forskare bör utveckla strategier som inte bara fokuserar på utsläpp, utan också balanserar miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska mål, samt främjar samarbete på individ-, organisations- och systemnivå.
