SSE STILL THE LEADING BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE NORDICS
It is well known that European business education is based on traditions, finest quality, excellent reputation and close corporate relations. This means that here you can get not only a diploma and academic knowledge, but also valuable practical experience and reliable business connections.
Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) remains the leading business school in the Nordics, according to the 2019 Financial Times European business school ranking.
While most people from the Nordic countries study locally, there is something distinctive about the culture of northern Europe and its commitment to environmental, ethical and governance issues that is attracting students from further afield. Business schools in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland featured prominently in submissions and selections made by judges in the FT’s responsible business education report in October, designed to highlight best practices in research, teaching, student projects and operations management.
Lars Strannegard is president of Sweden’s Stockholm School of Economics, which claims to have had a climate-neutral campus since 2009. “We try to make sustainability part of everything. It is not a coincidence that [teenage environmental campaigner] Greta Thunberg is Swedish,” he says. “The connection to nature is clear here: a lot of industry is nature-based, and it is part of the culture.”
While sustainability is integrated across the curriculum, Stockholm School of Economics also organises specialist programmes for more senior business people, such as a green bonds and sustainable finance executive programme co-ordinated by the International Finance Corporation.
We're proud to provide a solid education for our students and will continue to do so year after year.
