Required previous studies

Your bachelor's degree must:

• be equivalent to 180 ECTS credits or more, i.e. it must be a degree of at least three years of full time studies

• give eligibility to apply for master’s degree studies at university in the awarding country. The awarding higher education institution has to be a recognised part of the official national education system of the country. It has to be accredited as a degree-granting higher education institution by the country where it is located or by a relevant international organisation (such as UNESCO).

• give access to at least Master's level studies in the country where the degree-awarding insitution is located.

As an applicant you must have completed:

• at least 30 ECTS in subjects relevant for desired track (or the specialisation when no tracks within the specialisation) so that the admitted students are able to start studies at advanced level.
   
• Only completed studies which you provide an official transcript for can be considered in the evaluation of your application.
   
• If you e.g. have transferred credits without specified grades (e.g. from an exchange semester) included in your degree transcript, we recommend that you also attach a transcript to the application where the grades are visible in order for the credits to be taken into account in the evaluation.

Note!

• Hanken does not evaluate the relevance of the applicant's educational background in advance. The evaluation is only done during the processing of the applications with the application and enclosures at hand.
   
• Fulfilling the amount of ECTS credits required for a specialisation does not automatically lead to admission of the applicant. It will be decided case by case whether the applicant possesses the knowledge required for studies at advanced level or not. 
   
• In case the degree is a double degree/triple degree/transnational degree/joint degree, the university/universities which issued the degree certificate/certificates need to be recognised institutions in the country they are located and the degrees give access to at least Master's level studies in the country where the insitution is located.
