Lodge an appeal
The purpose of lodging an appeal is not to receive feedback, ask for additional information regarding admissions or get a second chance to be admitted. If you have questions relating to the admission or would like to receive further feedback, you should contact Hanken's Admissions services, rather than lodging an appeal. The admission appeal process is a legal procedure ( in Swedish and in Finnish only) that is taken very seriously. Therefore, it is important that your appeal for rectification is as detailed as possible, and that all necessary documentation is attached.
Instructions on how to lodge an appeal
The appeal needs be filed no later than 14 days after the publication date of the results. Appeals submitted after this date will not be processed.
Submit your appeal by completing this form. If you wish to address multiple matters in your appeal, you must complete separate forms for each matter.
What needs to be included in the appeal
