STUDENT AND ALUMNI PROFILES ”I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Hanken.

It is a very research-intensive business school. Already in their first year of PhD studies students are encouraged to attend international conferences and present their work to the international scientific community. Hanken also offers high-quality doctoral courses in major subjects and in methodology. Many doctoral students are involved in teaching, simultaneously developing their pedagogical skills.

Hanken encourages international mobility of its PhD students and offers them financial support for that. I got financial support for several conferences abroad and a six-month research visit to New Zealand, where I worked with my second supervisor. It was the most work-intensive period of my doctoral studies and also great life experience.”

Tamara Galkina PhD, Hanken Alumnus

“The Programme offers me a great opportunity to excel academically through hard work and to meet inspiring new people both in the classroom and during stimulating company visits. The structure of the program and the intimate discussions with peers, professors and practitioners, serve as excellent building blocks for creating a knowledge base and an understanding of the contemporary business environment that will definitely serve me well – whether I decide to do a PhD degree or contribute to an organisation.”

Ben Lundberg, Sweden Master’s student
