Graduate members 

  1. Those who have completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree in business at a Finnish university and those who have completed a post-graduate degree in business at a Finnish university are accepted as members. 
  • If you have studied something similar at a Finnish university: Eligibility for membership is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The applicant should be prepared to provide a copy of their diploma when requested. 
  • If you have studied outside Finland: The prerequisite is that the person has completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree or a post-graduate degree in business at a university. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The applicant should provide us with a copy of their diploma, and if necessary, further information on their degree. 
  • MBA and EMBA: The programme provider must be a university. At least a bachelor’s university degree together with an MBA or EMBA programme organised by the university usually entitles you to membership. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Student members 

Business students completing a Finnish bachelor’s or master’s degree in business are accepted as student members. 

Those who have completed a bachelor’s business degree can remain a student member while continuing their business studies. 

Those who have completed a bachelor’s university degree in other than business can join as a student member while completing a master’s degree in business. 

If an exchange student is accepted as a member of a student association, they can be a member of Suomen Ekonomit through this organisation during the time they study in a Finnish university. 

A person who has completed a master’s degree in business cannot be a student member after graduation, unless they complete another basic degree in business. 

Anyone completing a postgraduate degree cannot be a student member. 


A warm welcome to Suomen Ekonomit!  ❤️
