The Stockholm School of Economics’ Master in International Business ranks seven in the world, according to the latest Financial Times Master in Management ranking. “Ranking in the top ten is a huge milestone for SSE. We’re incredibly proud,” says President Lars Strannegård.

Starting this academic year, bachelor students can channel their civic engagement and help effect real change through a new interdisciplinary program. The CIVICA Engage track will offer field work, exchanges and new experiences to students across the CIVICA alliance.

The Stockholm School of Economics has decided to continue the hybrid strategy currently in place through study period 2, that is until December 15. This decision is based on a presumption that no major changes in society at large will happen during the fall.

Now that the European Universities are becoming a reality, it is important to give the students a say. Hilda Hardell from the Stockholm School of Economics is helping to bring student influence to the top levels of CIVICA – and the EU.

What do we need universities for? What type of knowledge should universities be producing? What is the value of a degree from a higher education institution? Describing SSE’s educational mission FREE, President Strannegård advocates the importance of both the cognitive and the emotional aspects or as he states, “sense and sensibility” is the future of education. 

CIVICA – The European University of Social Sciences has received funding to strengthen its research dimension from the EU’s programme Horizon 2020, under the chapter “Science with and for Society.”

The COVID-19 pandemic does not stop the fight for LGBTQ rights. This year’s Stockholm Pride will instead be broadcast live digitally under the name Stockholm Pride Summer Stream. As usual, several of Stockholm’s higher education institutions are participating under the joint Academic Pride banner, which this year brings together both students and employees from seven higher education institutions.

On 16 June 2020, the European Commission updated the status of The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) from “associated partner” to “full member” of CIVICA – The European University of Social Sciences, following a request submitted by the alliance.
