Of the 60% study places reserved for SAT/ACT admission, the applicants are divided into two groups based on their educational background. Half of the study places to the programme or 50 % are reserved for applicants applying with a certificate completed outside Finland or a certificate that cannot be considered in the certificate-based admission. Only 10 % of the study places in the SAT/ACT admission method are reserved for applicants applying with a certificate that can be considered in the certificate-based admission to this programme. 

Notice!

Only ACT/SAT test scores that can be verified with the test organiser can be considered. The score report must also be valid during the application period and taken within the last five (5) years. In other words, you need a SAT/ACT test result when you submit your application. 

If an applicant has delivered several SAT or ACT test scores to Hanken through the test organiser by the deadline for attachments, Hanken will consider the test score which gives the applicant the highest score.
