Frequently asked questions
When are the SSE MIB application deadlines?
SSE runs two annual deadlines for the August intake: an early deadline in mid-November (15 November 2026 for the 2027 intake) and the final deadline in mid-January (15 January 2027). Decisions are typically released in March. There are no rolling rounds beyond the January cut-off — applicants must submit by 15 January or wait a full year.
What is the application process for non-Swedish candidates?
The application requires undergraduate transcripts, a CV, a motivation letter, two academic references, and a GMAT, GMAT Focus, or GRE score. Admitted students cluster in the 595–735 GMAT range, with a GMAT Focus median of 625. Shortlisted candidates are invited to an interview, conducted online. International applicants apply via the Swedish national universityadmissions.se platform alongside the SSE-specific supplementary application.
