JOO studies at Hanken

How to apply for the right to complete studies at Hanken through the JOO-agreement

Hanken has exited the JOO-agreement starting 1.1.2026. We still accepts incoming students with statements of acceptance with validity dates starting 1.8.2025 at the latest during spring 2025. The validity of already granted JOO-study rights is not affected.

If you are planning to complete a minor at Hanken, you need to complete basic and intermediate studies in a subject or a corresponding module. The module needs to contain at least 25 credits to be counted as a minor.

We have a continuous application time for courses in the ongoing or upcoming academic year, that have a confirmed JOO-offering. Note that you need to have a statement of acceptance from your home university before submitting your application to Hanken. A statement of acceptance is not a guarantee that you will get a spot at the course, since the number of spots is limited.

The application to Hanken needs to be submitted at least two weeks before the course starts, which, depending on your home university´s processing times, might mean that you need to apply for the statement of acceptance a month or several months before the course at Hanken starts.
