Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) · Handelshögskolan i Stockholm

One of Europe's Leading Business Schools
For nearly one hundred years the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) has trained individuals for leading positions in business and public administration. To name but a few examples of our alumni, Ruben Rausing - the founder of Tetra Pak, and Assar Gabrielsson – the co-founder of Volvo, were both members of the School’s first graduating classes.

A Broad Offering of Educational Programs
In addition to the full-time MBA program, SSE offers a Master of Science (MSc) program that is top-ranked in Europe with an enrolment of about 1800 students, an Executive MBA program that is ranked number one in the Nordic region, an extensive array of executive education programs, Executive MBA programs in Russia and Riga, and a sixty year old PhD program with more than 200 PhD candidates. Of note is that SSE is the first educational institution in Sweden to receive accreditation by EQUIS, the European Quality Improvement System, signifying that our teaching and research in all fields have been found to meet the most rigorous international criteria.

Nobel Laureates and Internationally Renowned Research
Not only does the School comprise the more traditional departments of Management and Organization, Accounting and Business Law, Marketing and Strategy, Economics, Finance, and Economic Statistics and Decision Support, but it is also home to a number of research institutes, such as the Economic Research Institute, the Institute of International Business, and the Center for Advanced Studies in Leadership. Today there are around 400 people active in academic research and education at SSE, and the faculty generates around 400 publications every year. As a hallmark of quality, we like to point to the Nobel Laureate Bertil Ohlin, the SSE Professor of Economics who received the Nobel Prize in Economics. And in keeping with tradition, the Nobel Laureates in Economics visit SSE each year to talk about their research with students.

True to its international research focus, SSE has been a pioneer in internationalizing education and has founded sister schools in Riga, Latvia and St. Petersburg, Russia. Faculty exchanges and joint research with these schools create a climate that is particularly valuable to students concerned with the Baltic region or who may be curious about transition economies.

An International Network of Prestigious Connections
Moreover, SSE boasts an impressive network of international and Swedish connections. More than 100 multinational and Swedish companies financially support the School as Corporate Partners. In addition, members of the School’s board include Erik Åsbrink, former Swedish Minister of Finance, and Jacob Wallenberg, Chairman of the Board of the Swedish holding company Investor, while SSE honorary doctors include King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School. And in keeping with tradition, the Nobel Laureates in Economics visit SSE each year to talk about their research with students.

SSE MBA Takes the Classroom into Reality
The SSE MBA program is a one year, full-time general management program where you meet exciting peers from diverse backgrounds across the globe. Although a young program, SSE MBA rests on the solid foundation of the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) that has trained young women and men for leading positions in business and public administration through its hundred year old Master of Science (MSc) in Economics and Business program and through its thirty year old executive education programs.

Ranked as the leading business schools in the Nordic Region, SSE MBA offers a state-of-the-art MBA program that rests on three pillars integrated through our unique component, MBA Live.


The first SSE MBA pillar is a general management agenda covering more than twenty general management subjects. The second pillar is a distinctive leadership agenda designed to prepare you for challenging new leadership roles while the third pillar enables you to develop and enhance your networks with leading executives across the globe. Finally, we integrate the three pillars through MBA Live in which you apply core management concepts to identify and solve real-world problems together with company executives in live cases and change projects.

While we provide you with everything that characterizes an MBA today - the core concepts, the analytical tools, and the theoretical frameworks grounded in managerial disciplines and applied in organizations, we go far beyond by offering you the ability to personally develop such that you may become a leader in a global context. When you graduate the SSE MBA program, you will also have acquired the following:

High degree of cross-cultural fluency so that you are able to frame relevant questions and interpret fast-changing conditions in global markets with increasingly transnational workforces
