The principle of first come, first serve is applicable, and there is only 30 seats available annually within the module. The 30 first eligible students to sign up (20 to the Cooperation quota and 10 through the Open University quota) will be offered the possibility to complete a predetermined selection of courses within the study module in SCM&SR, during the two following academic years. If one of the quotas is not filled when the registration ends, the empty seats can be moved to the other quota.
Eligible students must have attained a bachelor's degree and at least 10 ECTS of relevant studies (university level) before the registration for the module has ended.
Eligible students can register to the module and its courses by filling in an electronic form and by belonging to one of the following quotas:

Certificate of enrollment and transcript of records is demanded when registering to the module and the transcript of records is needed to prove the 10 ECTS of relevant studies. BSc degree is required. |
---|---|
Open University Quota | Open University quota, 10 seats: you will be registered as a Open university student. This quota is open for ANYONE who has ever attained at least 10 ECTS of relevant studies. Transcript of records is needed to prove the 10 ECTS relevant studies. BSc degree is required.The whole module, for two years, is offered for 500 euros (one-off payment). The payment is done upon or shortly after registration. Students that are refugees or have temporary protection in Finland can be exempted from the open university fee. |
What is offered to those who have signed up to the module?
Once you have been accepted to the module as a student, you can choose from a wide variety of Hanken's courses from supply chain management and social responsibility on MSc level. You can take part in up to 45 ECTS worth of the pre-defined courses per academic year at a maximum. Note that you can only sign up to the courses defined as courses belonging to the study module (thus, you cannot, as an example, study French at Hanken by signing up to the study module, since French classes are not defined as courses within the module). There may be more courses offered than 45 ECTS per year.
Students who gain access to the module are thus granted the right to study at Hanken for two academic years, and can choose courses only from a set list of courses.
The 30 first eligible students to sign up through the electronic form will gain access to the courses.

How to gain admission to MSc studies after completing 40 ECTS?
Notice! Information on how to apply for degree studies after completed study module will be updated autumn 2024!
The 10 best applicants who fulfill all of the criteria (below) will be offered admission to study either Humanitarian Logistics in English or the major "Logistik och samhällsansvar" in Swedish on MSc level at Hanken. The ranking is based on the applicant's grades attained from the study module's courses. (all courses need to be completed and registered on the applicant's transcript at the latest 10.6.2024),
Admission criteria, all applicants need to fulfill the following and will be ranked based on the applicant's grades in the module's courses:
- have signed up as one of the 30 eligible students to the official study module through its Open University or Cooperation quota, and been granted the right to complete the courses through the study module*
- attained at least 40 ECTS of the study module's courses, including the courses defined as mandatory for admission (these courses might change during the years - Hanken will take these changes into account when the applicant applies for admission)
- these 40 ECTS need to be completed within two academic years (all courses need to be completed and registered on the applicant's transcript at the latest 10.6.2024),
- attained at least good as a GPA from the courses/40 ECTS (at least 3 out of 5 on Hanken's scale),
- fulfill the language requirement:
- for the English Humanitarian Logistics track: have completed all the 40 ECTS and all the module's courses needed for admission in English, with at least the grade good/3 out of 5 in all courses (or proven your English language skills in any of the other accepted ways),
- for the Swedish major "Logistik och samhällsansvar" fulfill Hanken's language requirements in Swedish for MSc level or gained at least the grade good/3 out of 5 at least in 10 ECTS worth of the module's courses in Swedish (the courses need to be taught in Swedish and all course work have to be completed in Swedish)

- sent in your application through studyinfo.fi before the application deadline (13.3-27.3.2024 at 3pm)
If the applicant has not been able to complete 40 ECTS within two academic years with a GPA of at least good, the applicant cannot sign up to another two-year period, and try to attain the missing courses, or re-take courses in order to gain higher grades. It is not possible to try to apply for admission based on courses completed during a second two-year period. Admission can only be granted based on studies attained during the applicant's first two-year period.
*It is not possible to apply for admission without completing the required studies through the study module. As an example: one cannot sign up as an external student to the courses through the general Open University portal, and then choose and complete a selection of courses on their own. This is to ensure that only a maximum of 10 eligible students will be admitted, and that these have attained the needed knowledge, defined by the academic staff, to be able to succeed in their studies.
NB: you cannot change major/track once you have been admitted to Hanken's MSc programme if you have been admitted through this form of admission. Hanken's own degree students (BSc, MSc and PhD) cannot sign up to this module nor be offered admission through the module.
