Lodging an appeal

If you believe that an error has been made in the assessment of your application or in the implementation of the admission criteria, you may lodge an appeal for rectification of the admission decision. An appeal needs be filed no later than 14 days after the publication date of the admission results.

If you have questions relating to admissions or would like to receive further feedback, you should contact Hanken's admissions services, rather than lodging an appeal.

The purpose of lodging an appeal is not to receive feedback, ask for additional information regarding admissions or give applicants a second chance to be admitted. The admission appeal process is a legal procedure Opens in new window (text available 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.
