After completing the Summer School you can apply in Sisu for transfering the course. Please hand in the transcript from the course to the international mobility team at Hanken. The team validates the courses and forwards the transcript to the Office of Study Affairs who in turn transfer the credits. If you have any questions, please contact outgoing.mobility@hanken.fi.
