About the Digital Student Ambassador Program

For International & Swedish BSc & MSc students

SSE is actively engaged in improving brand visibility, both in Sweden and abroad, for the benefit of you and your future career. The ambassador program is a vital aspect of cementing our position as a top tier business school and to attract top students from all around the world to apply to SSE. This initiative helps to strengthen SSE's position as a leading business school in Europe.

The ambassadors work mainly digitally within three different fields of interests and play a key role in our different outreach activities and offer a students’ point of view to future candidates by sharing their experiences at SSE. The program is for a full academic year and the ambassadors are expected to work throughout the year. You will be part of a vibrant, international, and diverse team of students, both on BSc level and MSc level. As a Student Ambassador at SSE, you'll have the chance to refine your leadership abilities, polish your communication and project management skills, and inspire others by actively representing the Stockholm School of Economics.

SSE is committed to a balanced gender distribution and values a variety of backgrounds and experiences among our students. We therefore welcome all applicants regardless of their gender, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, disability, sexual orientation, age, religion, or other beliefs.
