Bachelor's studies

This page contains information about Bachelor's studies in English (Hanken Bachelor in Business).

N.B.! The information on this page only concerns students at Hanken Bachelor in Business!

You have been accepted to an integrated programme which includes both a bachelor's and a master's degree. The bachelor's degree is completed in 3 years, after which you can choose to complete a 2 year master's programme without a separate application.

Bachelor's degree (180 ECTS)

During the first 1.5 years of your bachelor's degree, you will be studying together with your cohort at the Bachelor in Business programme. You will complete a set of general basic courses, subject-specific mandatory basic courses, as well as language studies. 

After the first year, you will select your major and minor subjects, and after completing the first 1.5 years with your own cohort, you will complete your major and minor studies alongside other BSc students.

The student workload is measured in credits. One credit at Hanken corresponds to one ECTS, which in turn corresponds to 27 hours of work. Full-time study equals approximately 30 credits per semester, or 60 credits per academic year.
