Hanken student awarded for best “Prüfung Wirtschaftsdeutsch”

This year, five Hanken students took part in the international exam “Prüfung Wirtschaftsdeutsch”, which in Finland is organised by the Deutsch-Finnische Handelskammer in cooperation with Goethe-Institut. Every year, the German language within Hanken’s language centre offers a preparation course (“Wirtschaftskommunikation”) for the exam. All the students who participated in the preparation course at Hanken passed the exam consisting of both a written and an oral part.

Elina Pirjetä from Hanken scored the highest result of all Finnish participants this year. She was awarded for her excellent result with the Friedrich-Russegger prize. This prize of 250 euros was awarded by the Deutsch-Finnische Handelskammer. The diploma and award ceremony was conducted on 29 May 2015 by Magnus Bargum, Councillor of Commerce, and Dorothee Janetzke-Wenzel, the German Ambassador to Finland.
