SSE MBA EXECUTIVE FORMAT
We are proud to offer you an Executive MBA program in Stockholm, a city in motion filled with opportunities. Sweden is also the birthplace of global companies like IKEA, Ericsson, Volvo, H&M, and more recently global giants such as Skype, Spotify, Mojang and King.
Our MBA will help you grow into broader responsibilities more efficiently, sharpen your analytical skills and increase your financial understanding. You will create new skillsets and build valuable networks. But above all, you will grow as a person. Participants in the SSE MBA are ambitious and talented executives, eager to learn more and take on new challenges. They already have promising careers and full-time jobs, but still manage to dedicate time to studies.
We strive for diversity in the class. A more diverse group makes for broader case discussions, more perspectives, better learning – and excellent networks. Our classes represent a wide range of backgrounds. Your fellow participants

Participants may work in small companies, large multi nationals, or the public sector, and some are entrepreneurs or researchers. With about 50 participants in each group, more than half will have a non- Swedish or multinational background, and most will have extensive international experience academically and/or professionally.
The average age on the program is typically 39, and about a third of participants are women. Our MBALive® learning approach aims at understanding the complexity and dynamics of organizations. Therefore, as part of program examinations, all participants pursue projects in real organizations, using theoretical management concepts and frameworks acquired during the program.
We will also carry out two or three international study trips during our time together. A fundamental part of this education is the value of perspectives. Visiting different markets and applying theories and models in a variety of contexts is an essential part of learning.
