FT rankings: SSE Executive Education still at the top in the Nordics and the Baltics

SSE Executive Education has once again been recognised as the leading business school in the Nordic and Baltic regions in the Financial Times’ annual executive education ranking. The school has also strengthened its global position and remained among the world’s top 20 business schools.

Continuing a legacy of leadership

SSE Executive Education remains the highest-ranked school in the Nordics and the Baltics. At the same time, the open programs have continued to advance and are now ranked 14th in the world.

“We are very pleased with this year’s results. Our progress reflects the trust of our clients and participants, and we’re proud that, as a relatively small player, we are trusted by leaders and companies around the world. It’s a privilege we don’t take lightly, and this recognition confirms both the impact of our work and our mission to help individuals and organizations perform at their best,” says Katarina Hägg, CEO of SSE Executive Education.

SSE Executive Education is part of the Stockholm School of Economics, and Hanken & SSE Executive Education is owned by Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden and Hanken School of Economics in Finland.
