History

The banker Knut Agathon Wallenberg donated 100 000 SEK in 1903 (Equivalent to around 7 million SEK in 2023) to lobby for founding a business school in Stockholm. Wallenberg considered that "It was important to raise the social status of the merchant class". Lobbying was necessary because the classical tradition in western thought has a long-standing disdain for commerce, dating back to the ancient Greeks. This disdain was also evident during the Middle Ages, when trade was considered equivalent to theft and seen as a dirty and vulgar occupation. During this time, merchants were known in swedish as: ''Krämare'', from the greek chrema (money), were socially scorned, even by the upper class, and were perceived as unproductive individuals solely interested in "making money.". Continuing the lobbying the Wallenberg family also financed a study trip where the doctor in philosophy Helmer Keys set out to travel through Europe to collect data that could motivate the decision to establish a business school. This resulted in the report called "on the centrality of trade-schools (Swedish: Om betydelsen av handelshögskolor", where Key presented the founding of a business school as both positive and necessary. The report was subsequently used to propagate for the centrality of founding a business school in Stockholm. Later on, a circular letter was written where people from the Stockholm

was offered to pay 400 SEK per year to become initiating members of the school of business association ( Handelshögskoleföreningen). In an appendix to a deed of foundation published by the school of business Association, the founding members up to 28 February 1907 are listed. The founders consisted of 109 merchants, 47 bank directors or similar, 26 mill owners or similar, 9 engineers, 16 other city councillors, barons or similar, and three companies. Most of the members were men, but one person was female. Two families were overrepresented, namely the Söderberg and Wallenberg families. The founders were predominantly based in Stockholm, Djursholm, or Saltsjöbaden. However, the academic background among the school's founders was almost entirely nonexistent. The name ''handelshögskola'' (roughly "college of commerce") was a parallel to the German term ''Handelshochschule'', used by a number of German institutions started in the years before, commencing with

The Stockholm School of Economics was formally founded in 1909 on private initiative as a response to rapid industrialization and a growing need for educated businessmen and company managers and has maintained close ties with the business community ever since. While founded as a business school, the subject of economics featured prominently in the research and curriculum of the school from the beginning. The most well known scholars of the Stockholm School of Economics are arguably the economists Eli Heckscher (

Academics

Admission

For Master programmes, applicants have to have a GMAT score of over 600 and a TOEFL iBT score of over 100 in order to be considered suitable for applying. In the academic year 2012/2013 the university received 3261 applications for the four Masters programmes which it offered at the time. Therefore, the according acceptance rate would have been low.

Grading

SSE uses a 5-grading scale which includes the following, Excellent (5.0), Very Good (4.0), Good (3.5), Pass (3.0) and Fail (0.0). A Grade Point Average (GPA) is giving between 3.0 and 5.0. There is also a possibility to obtain an award, Outstanding Achievement, which implies that the student gets at least Excellent as final grade, and that it's the first time the student are taking the course. The person responsible for the course have the opportunity to award up to 10% of the students with Outstanding Achievement. The award does not impact the calculation of the student's Grade Point Average (GPA). Furthermore, the 10 percent of students with the highest GPA in the BSc programmes who complete the studies on time, that is, no later than three years after they were enrolled, receive the President's list award. Completion of studies on time entails having completed all courses in connection with the examination retake period in August at the latest.
