Description

The Hanken School of Economics offers the courses in English listed below to exchange students coming from Hanken's partner universities. The courses are part of bachelor and master level degree studies at Hanken and open to degree students and exchange students alike.

Attendance and scope
Exchange students coming from a university or school with which Hanken has an exchange agreement can choose among the courses following needs and preferences of the student and the home university. A full-time semester programme comprises 30 ECTS credits, a full year 60 ECTS credits. Usually a course comprises 6-8 ECTS credits.

Course outline and content
The course design covers lectures and group work in class as well as individual presentations in class, term papers and written assignments. Normally there is a written examination at the end of each course. Sometimes there is an initial examination. There are courses without any major written examination; the assessment is based on other performance during the course.

The courses cover different areas of economics and business administration: accounting, commercial law, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, information systems science, management and organisation, marketing, politics and business, statistics and supply chain management and corporate geography. A beginner’s course in the Swedish language is offered, Swedish as a Foreign language. Hanken also offers language courses for exchange students, such as Intercultural Communication and Academic Writing courses.

Prerequisites
The courses are aimed at students with basic knowledge of economic sciences. As the instruction is largely based on discussion and interactive class work, we expect the students to communicate fluently in English, but also to have good writing skills in English.
