Funding
Funding and Social Security
Applying for funding and planning how to fund your doctoral studies and later on possibly your research, is a part of the process and a vital skill for a researcher these days. At Hanken we give our doctoral students and researchers maximum support in identifying and applying for suitable funding.
Hanken will sign employment contracts with new doctoral students instead of funding them through scholarships. The employment contracts will be for 12 months with an option of a further 12 months, provided there has been good study progress.
Studyportals Tip: Students can search online for independent or external scholarships that can help fund their studies. Check the scholarships to see whether you are eligible to apply. Many scholarships are either merit-based or needs-based.
