The vast majority of graduates find employment within three months of completing their studies. Our Master’s students are more inclined to take their first positon outside Sweden than our Bachelor’s students. Not surprisingly, the most popular industries for our graduates continue to be consultancy and finance with other industries on the rise such as retail and media/marketing services.

“This is the second year of a longitudinal placement survey analyzing the career choices of young alumni. The results provide an immense amount of information to potential employers but also relay how we can improve future student experiences and help prepare them for their future careers” says Katarina Hägg, Vice President for External Relations at the Stockholm School of Economics.
