Interest in careers within the European Union is growing, yet Swedish graduates remain underrepresented in EU institutions. To help bridge that gap, Therese Hartman Liungman and Lovisa Areskoug Eriksson, both second-year students in the Bachelor in Business & Economics program, work as EU career student ambassadors.

Young adults in Sweden feel significantly worse than older people in almost all areas of life. While older Swedes rank among the happiest in the world, young adults struggle with loneliness and psychological distress.

In recent weeks, media have once again reported that Barbro Ehnbom, an alumna of the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), has had connections to Jeffrey Epstein. We would therefore once again like to clarify what has happened from the SSE’s perspective. As soon as the leadership of SSE became aware in 2015 that there was a connection between Ehnbom and Epstein, we ended our collaboration with Ehnbom. We are appalled by these reports and strongly distance ourselves from everything that has come to light.
