Campus life

To study in Stockholm is to broaden your horizons in a metropolitan jewel – encrusted with beautiful archipelago islands, sweeping green parks and nature reserves, Stockholm is regarded by many to be one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals with its many bridges connecting the islands that make up the city center. 

Stockholm is known to pick up quickly on international influences. With a broad ethnic spectrum, the latest trends within fashion, culture, art, and music quickly take root. Restaurants with cuisine from every corner of the world jostle with cafés, pubs and night clubs, galleries and museums, large shopping centres and unique boutiques. 

Student clubs

The Student Association at the Stockholm School of Economics (SASSE) is an organization with about 2000 members.

The Student Association is a voting member of all decision-making bodies at SSE, from the Board of Directors to the smallest committee. 

Accreditation

The Stockholm School of Economics has an excellent reputation in Sweden and internationally, and the School collaborates with leading business schools worldwide. Since 1999, the School has been accredited by the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), meaning that all its activities—its programs as well as its research—have demonstrated excellence at an international level.

SSE Riga Experience

I really like it. I thing this is the best choice. My university is a place where I pursue education, make new friends, and explore the world of knowledge. Each day is filled with new lessons, engaging lectures, and exciting projects. I enjoy the atmosphere of collaboration and support among students and faculty. There are plenty of opportunities for self-improvement and professional growth in the university, and I am glad to be a part of this stimulating educational community. At my university, I am immersed in a rich learning environment where I am constantly challenged and inspired. From attending thought-provoking lectures to engaging in hands-on projects, every day brings new opportunities for growth and discovery. The sense of camaraderie among students and faculty fosters a supportive community where ideas are shared and explored. I am grateful for the diverse experiences and resources available to me, helping me to develop both academically and personally during my time here.

Beautiful campus, fresh food

A beautiful school on both the outside and inside! Very good education and the social life is much better than i expected. The school organizes activities which helps communication with other students and it's really fun. The food in this school is honestly the best school food you could ask for. There's variety and looks very fresh.
