The Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) is the leading business school in the Nordic and Baltic countries and enjoys a strong reputation in Sweden and internationally (Financial Times, 2024). Our curriculum, underpinned by world-class research, encompasses a diverse range of 11 degree programs, including 2 Bachelor programs, 5 Master programs, 3 PhD programs and an Executive MBA, all delivered exclusively in English. Complementing these offerings, SSE Executive Education offers open, customized, and online programs in English and Swedish. Through close collaboration with academia and industry alike, our programs are meticulously crafted, providing students with unparalleled opportunities to ascend to prominent roles within various sectors.
Truly international
The historical ties to the Swedish business community and public sector remain firm, though today an international dimension has been added. Many Swedish companies now have global operations, which in turn attracts international managers and specialists to Stockholm.
SSE has been topping the list of Sweden’s most international universities in the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education’s (STINT) annual Internationalization Index for several years now. 40% of SSE’s Master students are international and represent 30+ different nationalities. Our goal is to achieve a student body made up of 50 percent international and 50 percent Swedish students on both the BSc and MSc level. SSE also recruits faculty members internationally, and around 35 percent hold international passports. More than half of Swedish faculty bring significant international experience, having either lived or worked abroad before joining SSE.
A small school with a big impact
SSE is relatively small, with only about 2,000 students, which creates close ties between students, faculty and staff. Classes are small and faculty are highly accessible. Live cases by companies and organizations are used in class, and we make sure our students get what the employers are looking for. Our 100+ corporate partners provide plenty of opportunities to make valuable connections from day one. We also house the SSE Business Lab, a world-class business incubator. More than 90% of SSE’s graduates are employed within three months of graduation and the majority of these students have a job offer before graduation.
