Where does Hanken rank for the Master in Management?
Hanken placed 60th worldwide in the Financial Times Masters in Management 2025, with a weighted three-year salary of approximately US $67,000 and a 94% employment rate at three months. As a specialist school with fewer than 100 new international master's students per cohort, the placement reflects Hanken's depth of quality rather than breadth of scale.
What salary can Hanken MSc graduates expect?
The Financial Times 2025 ranking reports a weighted three-year salary of approximately US $67,000 — a standardised cross-school metric measuring earnings three years after graduation. Hanken does not publish its own separate salary figure for the MSc, so no school-reported number is available for comparison.

STACKING CHECKED 2026-09-04, and the exclusion is printed under the discount rather than under the scholarships: "The Early Commitment offer is not available to: Students who are granted a scholarship for tuition fees / Students accepted from the waiting list / Students accepted to a Double Degree programme", and it "may only be used in the academic year when the student was admitted". Hanken's own framing of the structure: it "mainly offers scholarships for students liable for tuition fees for the second year of enrolment onwards based on study performance. However, first year students are offered a reduction on the tuition fee, the Early Commitment offer." GBSN Honor Scholarship: "2 scholarships only", 100% waiver, validity 2 years, Master's main admission round only, "only awarded to students currently studying at or alumni of GBSN member schools from specific developing countries" with "NOTE! No other applicants are eligible"; renewal requires "at least 60 ECTS" and "a GPA of 3.0 by the end of each academic year (31 July)", plus "a limited amount of student recruitment activities". Also read the same day: the fee "does not cover the compulsory Student Union membership fee or the Student Health Care fee", and the rolling-admission variant of the discount requires acceptance within 7 days and payment within 21 ↗ — Hanken School of Economics

  • Kela — Healthcare fee for students in higher education. Prices the second charge: EUR 35.35 per term, EUR 70.70 per year for 2026. Liability quoted verbatim: students from outside the EU/EEA "must pay the healthcare fee" even when studying remotely, and this applies "even if you have taken out private health insurance" for residence-permit purposes, because private cover is not social security coverage. EU, EEA, Swiss, British and Northern Irish students with social security coverage in those regions "do not have to pay the healthcare fee" and use FSHS on an EHIC/GHIC instead ↗ — Kela — Social Insurance Institution of Finland
