Strong interest in Hanken's English-language Bachelor and Master programmes
Hanken School of Economics’ Bachelor in Business programme in English has 1001 applicants in the first joint application. Hanken's Master's programme in English has 769 applicants.
The first joint application to higher education closed on 22 January 2025. Hanken's Bachelor's and Master's programmes in English have received a total of 2,405 applications from 1,770 applicants (in 2024: 3,737 applications).
“We see a decrease in the number of applicants from the peak year 2024. The decrease was expected given the national application fee was introduced from the turn of 2025,” says Ida Borgar, Head of Admissions at Hanken.
The application to Hanken's PhD programme closed on 9.1.2025 and attracted 200 applicants this round (in 2024: 175).
“We are very pleased with the increased interest among international applicants for Hanken's PhD programme. In addition, we believe that the new application system for the Bachelor's and Master's programmes will result in higher quality applications,” says Mika Gabrielsson, Hanken's Dean of Education.
The new one-year master's programme in sustainability reporting and financial analysis in cooperation between Hanken School of Economics in Vaasa and Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics has also generated a lot of interest in the first round of applications in Sweden. The studies will start in autumn 2025 in Umeå and continue in Vaasa in spring 2026.
The number of applications quoted in this press release are preliminary.

Ny forskning visar att Kinas regelverk för hållbarhetsrapportering kräver kraftfullare metoder och starkare kontroll3.1.2025 09:58:45 EET | Pressmeddelande
År 2008 publicerade Shanghaibörsen (SSE) ett obligatoriskt krav på hållbarhetsrapportering från en viss typ av börsnoterade bolag. Enligt ny forskning misslyckas dock denna reglering med att främja hållbar praxis och kan leda till oavsiktliga ekonomiska konsekvenser.
Uusi tutkimus: Kiinan vastuullisuusraportointia koskevat määräykset edellyttävät konkreettisempia käytäntöjä ja vahvempaa täytäntöönpanoa3.1.2025 09:58:45 EET | Tiedote
Vuonna 2008 Shanghain pörssi (SSE) otti käyttöön pakollisen vastuullisuusraportointivelvoitteen, joka velvoittaa tietyntyyppiset pörssiyhtiöt julkistamaan vastuullisuustiedot. Uuden tutkimuksen mukaan tämä velvoite ei kuitenkaan edistä vastuullisia käytäntöjä ja voi johtaa tahattomiin taloudellisiin seurauksiin.
