Why did you choose SSE and your specific program?
I did my bachelor at a big university. I received a fantastic education that set solid foundations in academic areas. But because of the size of the university, opportunities per student can be limited. As an authentic business school, SSE has close ties with the business community, providing a high level of professional exposure to students.

Sweden is home to dynamic and successful start-ups, and hence PE/VC are pretty active, which is exciting. As the top business school in the Nordic area, SSE can get me involved in this active business environment. I did business analytics and accounting in my bachelor, a great combination of technical and analytical skills that enable me to make better sense of finance. There are many options to build related muscles in year 2 for MFIN program. The high-ranking MFIN program can help me realise my ambitions.

So far my favourite part is extensive promotion of more opportunities for women students, e.g. women's finance day and women economist program, etc.

I chose SSE for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the course I am currently doing was the primary reason for applying. I was looking for a course that equipped me with theory but also gave me practical experience of applying this knowledge. Thus, the course seemed extremely suited to my interest and aptitude. Secondly, the presence, participation and network of the school in the employment market also made it a very promising option for me. Finally, SSE's active student association is very rare for a masters program and that made the school and the experience more attractive for me.

Why did you choose SSE and your specific program?
I chose SSE because it's located in one of the most amazing cities in Europe but its reputation is known around the world. It glows Nordic prestige, but is extremely international at heart. SSE is small in size but vast in its impact, actions and opportunities. It appreciates honest values and traditions, but goes along with a twinkle in its eye. The playfulness in serious work with the focus on postmodernism and innovations can be seen in the fresh Business & Management MSc-program that I am happy to study in. To me, SSE represented something bigger, better and a little bit cooler, and I haven't changed my opinion one bit.
