Introduction week
August 25-29, 2025: Introduction week (compulsory)
To ensure that you settle in quickly, we’re running a compulsory introduction program the week prior to the program start.
During this week, you will be introduced to the academic aspects of your studies and meet your fellow students as well as the professors and staff. A number of lectures and seminars will be organized in order to introduce you to SSE and to the program. Please note that the introduction is mandatory for all students and includes your registration to the program.
The student association at SSE (SASSE) is also organizing many fun social activities the whole week - make sure that you don't miss out on all the fun!
Preparatory course in Mathemathics
August 11-22, 2025 (strongly recommended but not compulsory)
We offer a two-week Mathematics course prior to the compulsory introduction week. The course is strongly recommended but not compulsory. The course is given on campus 10am to 3pm Monday to Friday. The first Monday (August 11) we start with a small mingle in the atrium at 09:30, followed by an introduction lecture until lunch.
The purpose of this preparatory course is to provide you with a foundation necessary for our BSc programs. Many SSE students say that this course has been extremely valuable to them and that it has definitely helped them perform once their studies begin. They also say that it's a great way to get to know your classmates and the premises.
In the Bachelor program in Business & Economics, the first year of studies includes two academic modules in Mathematics. The first module is Mathematics A, and it covers an obligatory learning outcome for the course BE601 Data Analytics I, a course that runs (through the first teaching period) in the first semester. The second module is Mathematics B, and it covers an obligatory learning outcome for the course BE602 Data Analytics II, a course that runs in the second semester.
In the Bachelor program in Retail Management, you will have a Mathematics module during one of your first courses at SSE.
It is also a good idea to generally refresh your knowledge in Mathematics before commencing your studies. You can find some exercises here.
There will be a compulsory diagnostic test on general knowledge in basic High School Mathematics which will take place during the Introduction Week.
If you have any questions, please reach out to summermath@hhs.se.
Would you like to learn Swedish?
SSE's Welcome to Swedish course (strongly recommended but not compulsory)
SSE organizes a popular introductory course for students who wish to familiarize themselves with the Swedish language and culture. Even though all our programs are entirely taught in English, many international students highly recommend learning some Swedish as it can really help you get settled quicker in your new country.
The course starts with two online activities in the beginning of August and continues with four activities on campus during the same weeks as the Preparatory course in Mathematics.
The course is strongly recommended for all non-Swedes! You can attend both this course and the preparatory course in Mathematics.
Swedish courses at SSE when your studies have started:
As soon as you have enrolled you will also be able to register to our course “1006 Introductory Swedish” (7.50 ECTS credits) that runs during the Fall semester 2025. It aims to help students become confident in basic Swedish and provide the tools needed for speaking Swedish outside the classroom, both in their everyday lives and in professional settings.
After that course, you will also be able to continue with “1007 Introductory Swedish 2”.
Later on during your studies, you will be able to take the more advanced Swedish courses "1008 Business Swedish" and "1009 Spoken Professional Swedish".
