When you get an internship, it pays to prepare carefully in order to get the full benefit from your experience in regard to your onward studies as well as to your future career.

This 2020-2021 Hanken Vaasa mentor-mentee relationship is – if not a match made in heaven – then clearly one that is full of respect, warmth and learning. Mikael Still (65) and Silas Magana (34) hit it off from day one last September. So, what is their secret? What does it take to be a good mentor? And mentee, for that matter? Could you consider becoming one?

The Hanken PhD Programme corresponds to four years of full-time studies, during which you produce a doctoral thesis (180 credit points) and complete 60 ECTS credit points of coursework.

On this page, you’ll find information about how to finance your doctoral studies at Hanken. As a doctoral researcher, you can fund your studies through an employment contract, provided you’ve been admitted to full-time studies, and by applying for external research funding.
