Stockolm School of Economics is one of Europe’s leading business schools, with a unique business-community network. Its research is internationally recognized and many of its researchers are among the leading figures in their respective fields.
The Stockholm School of Economics is located in the center of Stockholm, a city with a high quality of life, excellent employment prospects, and an enviable work-life balance. Stockholm is one of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities, with stunning archipelago islands and plenty of green parks and nature reserves.
It is the beating economic heart of a nation that has always been at the vanguard of pioneering social, economic, and political policies, as well as producing some of the most famous and influential brands in the world today. The likes of H&M, Ericsson, IKEA, and Spotify all originated in Sweden and have all hired SSE graduates. In fact, of the top 30 Swedish companies on the OMX Stockholm (Stockholm Stock Exchange’s leading share index), more than 80% have at least one SSE alum on their Board of Directors and Executive Management team.
The Stockholm School of Economics offers a flagship Executive MBA, a part-time, 18-month program for professionals who are looking to lead within international organizations. The program takes place on three continents – previous cohorts have visited Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US.
The SSE MBA ranks particularly well when it comes to work experience opportunities, corporate social responsibility, and gender equality. Sustainability, which is so ingrained in Swedish society, is also integrated into the program. Students can choose from a wide-ranging set of elective modules, such as Social Innovation, Behavioral Science, Digital Transformation, and Gender Equity and Leadership.
By the end of the program, students will have gained an understanding of not only the fundamentals of modern-day businesses but also the way that this unique European nation operates.
The Stockholm School of Economics was the first Swedish university to be fully accredited by the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
SSE is also a member of the Global Alliance in Management Education (CEMS), the International Consortium for Executive Development Research (ICEDR), the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), the European University of Social Sciences (CIVICA), and the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM).
