While free-falling through semesters as they whoosh by is certainly an adventure, some of us (me. I’m talking about myself here) feel it necessary to pre-plan everything, and take into account any possible deviations, varying from sleeping in and missing a deadline to an alien abduction that could hinder my progress. Hello, this is Fairouz […]

Hi there, it’s Jing again. It is time to look back at my first year master studies at Hanken. Anyone’s interested in some surviving tips?   Starting my degree in humanitarian logistics was one of the best decisions I made. It opened the door to a new professional area that is so important yet relatively […]

I’m Jing, a master student in Humanitarian Logistics and part of the international student ambassador team. This post tells a bit of my extra-curriculum learnings of being a Hankeit!   Having been living in Finland for several years and finished my bachelor degree here, the student life at Hanken has still taught me so many […]

Hello, hello, hello! With the first snow fall of this year in Helsinki, it is time for another blog entry from your resident student ambassador from the finance department! So period 2 has started here at Hanken, and with that, many interesting finance courses! Perhaps the one a lot of students are looking forward to […]

Hard to believe? Read on to see how I elaborate on this idea.   First off, let’s start with some fun facts about […]

One thing I really like about Hanken is that this is the place where people are able to grow both business world and academic world. Let me show you two examples that happened during the past week. “Once Hankeit, always Hankeit”, it’s once again proved by alumni showed up in the flash mentoring on April […]

Калинка, калинка, калинка моя, В саду ягода-малинка, малинка моя. Калинка, калинка, калинка моя, В саду ягода-малинка, малинка моя. With this song we started our Russian dinner at Hanken that took place on 20th of March, and had a great success! But let start from the beginning. March 20th was bright and sunny day, and Helsinki […]
