MBA - THE HANKEN MBA
HANKEN is proud to be a true Nordic business school which offers a very broad spectrum of different subjects. Subjects from accounting, business law, computer science, corporate geography, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, language and communication, management and organization, marketing, political science to statistics are available at the school.
All of these are included in the HANKEN MBA, making it a schoolwide commitment to the MBA. These MBA modules are tailor-made and fine tuned for the needs of the business community.
We at HANKEN have a broad range of competencies in business and management education. The MBA programme is built on this foundation. The first half of the programme provides an opportunity to study various subjects offered in HANKENs under-graduate and graduate studies. The second half offers a programme portfolio unique in content.
In the process of developing the MBA we discovered that there was a need for a different type of an MBA. We identified a need for a more focused MBA, where the broad based programme can be combined with focused studies in areas where HANKEN has a distinct lead and distinguisted advantage.
HANKEN is today particularly strong in finance and relationship marketing. We are not only in the front-line in these areas in Finland, but we also excel in these areas on a worldwide basis.
The distinguishing advantage with the HANKEN MBA is to combine an active focus on the future needs of the customers with the path breaking competencies at our School.

Why HANKEN MBA?
it is built on HANKENs reputation as a first class Nordic business school
it is built on HANKENs excellent reputation in the business community
it offers a broad outlook on business and leadership and a possibility to expand your knowledge in either finance or relationship marketing

MASTER'S PROGRAM IN COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

Computational Finance
Modern financial institutions continuously develop and routinely use very advanced analytical, statistical and
numerical techniques in order to create new and to price existing financial instruments. Advanced quantitative
techniques are used in the continuos trading of financial instruments as well as in risk management and risk
monitoring. As a consequence there is a growing demand for knowledge in the area of quantitative finance and new intellectual standards are set for the study of finance and the analysis of financial markets.
Computational Finance applies the most appropriate features of computer science, statistics, and mathematics to
the problems of finance. Sophisticated and computationally intensive mathematical and statistical techniques for the analysis of real-time financial market data and real-time portfolio management are now available in the modern computerized world. This has opened up new opportunities as well as new challenges in computational finance for portfolio management, hedging, speculative international trading and financial decisions.

The Master's Program
Computational Finance is a one-year Master's program organized by the Swedish School of Economics
and Business Administration (Hanken) on cooperation with the University of Vaasa. The program strives
to provide a master's degree of high international standard and quality that will give the students the
required knowledge in order to meet the quantitative computational challenges of the future.

MASTER'S PROGRAM IN REAL ESTATE FINANCE

Real Estate Finance
The Real Estate sector accounts usually for a significant proportion of a country´s national wealth. In the Nordic countries, the real estate sector is currently transforming into a deregulated, international business sector. A central development of the field is the securitization of real estate ownership in the form of e.g. REIT's. There is thus an urgent demand for professionals in the field. Real estate financial analysts and managers will be needed both in the field of financial services as well as in the real estate industry itself. There also an urgent need for re-education of people from the construction and real estate sector.
The field of real estate offers an interesting and challenging area for the application of modern financial tools. E.g. real estate investment decisions typically include different forms of real options that need to be evaluated. Real estate finance deals about how advances from modern finance theory can be applied on this area where the investment objects may be very heterogeneous, and differ in terms of liquidity and transparency from many other marketable securities.

The Master's Program
Real Estate Finance is a one-year Master's program organized by the Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration (Hanken). The program strives to provide a master's degree of international standards and quality that give the students the required knowledge to work both in the property market field and in the field of financial intermediation. As teachers on the program, we have engaged leading international professors in real estate and finance.
