Master

A bachelor's degree, normally at least 180 ECTS credits, in a relevant field, plus the specific academic and test requirements set by each master's program. English proficiency equivalent to English 6, generally IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no section below 5.5, or TOEFL iBT total 90.

  4. Wait for the selection decision from SSE.
  5. Accept the offer and pay the SEK 360,000 program fee, or confirm a scholarship covering part of it, if you are a fee paying student.
  6. Apply for a Swedish residence permit for studies once tuition is paid or a scholarship is confirmed.

English test waiver

Stockholm School of Economics accepts IELTS, TOEFL iBT, Cambridge Michigan Language Assessments, Pearson PTE Academic and Cambridge ESOL, generally at a level equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. It does not itself charge an application fee; the SEK 900 fee is paid to universityadmissions.se, where transcripts and English test results are uploaded.
