Certificate-based admission
You can apply based on your upper secondary school certificate without an SAT or ACT test if you have completed, or are currently completing, one of the following school certificates in the spring of applying:
- Finnish Matriculation Examination,
- International Baccalaureate,
- European Baccalaureate, or
- Reifeprüfung/Deutsches Internationales Abitur in Finland.
Certificate-based admission is only open for first-time applicants. Applicants that have already at some point accepted a study place at a higher education institution in Finland can still apply, but they must then apply based on an SAT or ACT test.
The Bachelor programme follows the same certificate-based admission model as the Swedish taught Bachelor programme at Hanken.

An International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma is a certificate awarded by the IBO. To find more information about the IB diploma, click here. Many countries have awards or certificates that have a similar name, "baccalauréat", however, only the diplomas awarded by the IBO organization can be considered in the certificate-based admission to this programme.
