I am also researching schools in Scandinavia, particularly Copenhagen Business School. I think it depends on what sector you're working in, then you can look at job possibilities in either Stockholm or Copenhagen. Where are you coming from? Remember, the courses are in English, but finding jobs is another story. So you have to choose between learning Danish or Swedish. Stockholm is cheaper, and if you like the idea of classes for one week per month, then maybe it's a better choice for you.

Hi Angie,
Thanks for the response! I am originally from the Baltics and SSE has an EMBA program in Riga as well. However, I would prefer to do it in Scandinavia. I personally find Swedish easier to learn (some Danish sounds are incomprehensive to me!).

Also, I am concerned with the latest news in CBS. They have been having some problems. http://www.cbs.dk/en/News-Press/Hoejreboks-Forside/Nyheder/Facts-about-CBS-in-the-media

And I do prefer classes for a week once a month because I would like to be able to interact with other participants and build relationships with them. I think it is a great opportunity for networking with people in high positions in various industries and it is a more beneficial method of learning than just weekend classes every week.

I saw that SSE is having an information session this Friday and one on May 19. I am thinking of checking them out and learning more in person. I found them at:

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check out this link and maybe the information session too. I'm in Germany, so it's not so far. I hadn't considered Sweden before, but it might be an good alternative option.

I also found this link on the site about Scandinavian schools:

Let me know if you discover anymore info!

Yes, sure! Have you come across their other website? This is for Executive Education programs: http://ifl.se/en/

They seem to be shorter and more specialized courses/programs without an official degree. So that could be alternatives to consider.

Great, I'll take a look at these specialized courses. But what I'm mostly interested in is an entrepreneurship program, which I can't seem to find at SSE. Copenhagen has the School of Entrepreneurship within the Business School, which is very attractive to me.

But I'll consider both schools carefully. Thanks again.

Thanks for the link! I will check it out. I am not sure about EMBA with an entrepreneurship focus but I heard of the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship program which is run by 5 Stockholm universities (KTH, SSE, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm University and some other one) and which is quite famous.

I am the Admissions Manager at Copenhagen Business School's Full-time MBA program, so of course a little more positive in that direction.

Entrepreneurship is one of the major sections of our program and runs throughout the year. This includes the A-Board, where all students sit on the Advisory Board of a real entrepreneurial company during the year. This gives the chance to see entrepreneurship in action and give feedback which is genuinely listened to. You also get the chance to enter the Venture Cup, which is an entrepreneurial competition between universities and business schools in Denmark.
