Student stories

My experience with SSE's Short Program was incredibly enriching and dynamic. Each day brought a new theme accompanied by guest lectures spanning diverse professions and backgrounds. We visited tech giants like Ericsson and explored cultural landmarks such as the Nobel Museum in Stockholm's Old Town. The program's intensity and the high caliber of fellow participants made it the highlight of my summer — a decision I'm truly grateful for.

This was such an incredible experience with deep insights shared on the nuances of cultural, business, and policy contexts in Sweden. It grew my keen interest in working in the country post-graduation, and opened my eyes to the many different pathways that Stockholm, and Sweden, sets itself apart as an incubator and innovator in a variety of areas, particularly sustainability. Take this course – you won’t regret it!

The Short Exchange program at Stockholm School of Economics has exceeded my expectations in every dimension. Meticulously designed, the program strikes a perfect balance between academic rigor, cultural immersion, and business insights. Throughout the program, I have had the privilege of engaging with a diverse array of experts, industry leaders, and fellow participants. Each interaction has provided me with valuable perspectives and prompted me to reflect on the new contexts and ideas I have encountered—especially the unique Swedish approach to innovation and sustainability. This enriching experience has not only broadened my professional and cultural horizons but also inspired me to integrate these newfound insights into my future endeavors.
