The Direction of the Centre for Languages and Business Communication:

Campus or amount of taken language courses is not a criteria for these positions.

The Department Councils

Hanken has four departments which are led by a prefect and a department council. The departments are for both campuses and the councils can be seen as a shareholder’s meeting for the departments. Matters handled by the council include the course offering, the hiring of new professors and research doctorates, the department budget and more.

The Direction of the Centre for Languages and Business Communication

To organize the teaching of languages at Hanken, there is a Centre for Languages and Business Communication. The centre has a direction, that for instance makes drafts for the curriculum of the language courses and the budget for the centre. In the direction, we have one regular and one deputy student representative.

As a student representative, you have the opportunity to affect your studies. Furthermore, you can develop your skills in meeting technique and student advocacy, the opportunity to expand your social network within Hanken and something to put on your resume.

In exchange, you are expected to participate in one to two meetings a month, inform the other student representatives of important matters and be there for other students who might have questions and thoughts about their studies. To apply for the department councils you should be a student of that department.

The commission of trust starts on 1.1.2022 and ends on 31.12.2024. However, it’s not mandatory to be present the whole term. Apply by sending an application to studier@shs.fi at the latest on Tuesday 21.12.2021 at 15. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Take the chance to make a difference!
