What do our students and alumni think of the Wallenberg International Fellows Program?
Fellows 2024
"Being a Wallenberg Fellow has been the most rewarding experience of my academic career. The program has placed me at the intersection of foreign policy, economics, and international finance - working at the Atlantic Council and studying at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. It has pushed me to apply the analytical skills I’ve developed as an economist to the complex dynamics between public and private organizations, continuously fueling my curiosity to learn about the global economy."

"Being a Wallenberg Fellow is an experience that reshapes your perspective on both global business and politics. Not only does the fellowship offer a unique opportunity to understand the importance of politics in the private sector, but it also fosters lifelong friendships with other fellows. This bond provides a continuous source of support, inspiration, and learning long after the program ends."

You will interact with incredible people, experience diverse cultures and approach complex issues with creativity and ethical considerations. This will equip you with the essential tools and skills required to navigate the intersection between the public and private sector. By bridging the gap between these two vital segments of society, the program empowers you to make a meaningful impact. The Wallenberg International Fellowship Program has been the most comprehensive, insightful and transformative experience I had the privilege of undertaking during my five years at SSE.
"The Wallenberg Fellowship is much more than just a semester abroad and an internship. The Program offered me the opportunity to explore what it means to be a global leader and how important cultural understanding is to drive change. Both in the classroom at Georgetown and beyond the program has challenged me to expand my perspective and truly appreciate the intersection between global business and politics."
