Hanken's popularity remains high

Studenter vid ingången
The interest in business studies continues to be strong in Finland. In this spring’s second joint application round, Hanken School of Economics received a total of 3,179 applications (2025: 3,279, 2024: 2,889). The master's programme received a total of 426 applications from 268 applicants (2025: 257), which was the highest number of individual applicants ever.

The bachelor’s programmes in both Helsinki and Vaasa also attract a stable level of applicants and received a total of 2,753 applications (2025: 2,853, 2024: 2,488). The bachelor’s programme offers 250 study places in this admissions round, while the master’s programme offers 96 places.

“Hanken continues to be an attractive option for young people seeking a versatile education with strong employment prospects. For many, it is also important that the school is internationally recognised, performs well in global rankings, and maintains close connections to the business community,” says Mika Gabrielsson, dean of education.

Interest in studying business in Swedish in Finland remains high, and the application process for applicants with an educational background from Sweden is open until 15 April 2026.

Admissions results

The admissions results for the bachelor’s and master’s programmes in Swedish at Hanken will be published as soon as possible during the spring, but no later than 2 July 2026. All communication with applicants will be sent to the email address provided in the application

In autumn 2026, a study voucher will be introduced, allowing persons who did not receive a study place, or who declined an offer, to take open university courses free of charge. Read more about the conditions for the study voucher here: Study voucher
