Established in 1911 in Finland’s capital, Helsinki, the Helsinki School of Economics (HSE) is an internationally renowned graduate school for business administration with a long-standing history and tradition. By inviting professors from internationally renowned schools, HSE offers high standards of practice-oriented education and professional knowledge required for strengthening competitiveness. The school holds international partnerships and student exchange programs with various schools of high esteem from around the world (Univ. of Michigan, Pennsylvania State Univ. Indiana Univ.), and cooperates with global research institutes and business/economy communities.

Now also accredited by the AACSB, HSE has been tested by all three international standards organizations that certify business schools. The previous certifications are from the European EQUIS and the Association of MBAs. This third certification, often referred to as the ‘Triple Crown’ raises HSE into a category shared by only about 30 other universities

Established in 2010, Aalto University is a new university with centuries of experience.
Aalto University is a merger of three Finnish universities: The Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology and The University of Art and Design Helsinki.
The new university's ambitious goal is to be one of the leading institutions in the world in terms of research and education in its own specialized disciplines. The combination of three universities opens up new possibilities for strong multi-disciplinary education and research although each university will maintain its identity.
Aalto University will greatly strengthen the standing, content and, crucially, the international appeal of both MBA and EMBA programs they offer. The development of business education is a core part of the strategy to maximize Aalto’s international profile and increase participation of faculty and students from overseas.
