Information from the Academic Council meeting on 28 August 2018

In its meeting on 28 August, the Academic Council (AC) approved 40 master’s theses.

Schedule for the Ceremonial Conferment of Doctoral Degrees 2019

The schedule for each stage in the doctoral thesis process for those aiming at graduation in time for the Conferment was discussed. The recommended schedule will be distributed to the supervisors, departmental secretaries, and doctoral students. It will also be published in the doctoral student Facebook group and on the Hanken website. There will be a possibility for an extension of the timetable. This schedule is however extremely tight and there is a higher risk not to make the deadline to participate.  

The first joint application in spring 2018

As of 2018 Hanken is part of the joint application to Business education in Finland. The entrance exam can be written in Finnish or Swedish, and the results required for admission are now nationally comparable.
