New student

Welcome to Stockholm Business School! Once you have been admitted to a course module or programme with us, you must activate your university account and register for the courses that are included in the course module or programme (first semester).

 

An academic approach and way of acting are a vital part of good scientific practice and cornerstones of all higher education. Stockholm Business School (SBS) has developed a code of conduct for how students are expected to approach their studies and behave towards peers, teachers, administrative staff and as representatives of Stockholm University.

As a student at SBS, you are expected to:

  • Value academic integrity, apply good research practice, independence, scientific methods, accuracy in the implementation of individual work, group projects and degree theses.
  • Contribute to a well-functioning and respectful collaboration with your peers in joint assignments.
  • Refrain from cheating in examinations, for example plagiarism, cooperating when it is not allowed, or using aids without special permission.
  • Contribute to the quality of education by answering course and programme evaluations.
  • Work for a safe, tolerant, open-minded and inclusive study and work environment, free from discrimination, abusive behavior and harassment.
  • Affirm people’s equal value, rights, opportunities and obligations, regardless of gender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, functional variation, sexual orientation and age.
  • Carefully study course and programme syllabi, rules for education and examination and other information about your education.
  • Take responsibility for arriving on time for scheduled teaching.
  • Update your contact information in Ladok and Athena so as not to miss important information.
  • Refrain from recording, filming and photographing educational situations. Respect that material recorded by SBS may not be published on websites or in social media.

If you have previous studies within the main field of study of your education you can apply for a credit transfer of theses courses.

Information about and how to apply can be found on the Degree web page under the heading Credit Transfer.

 

Being accepted with conditions means that you did not fulfill the eligibility requirement when applying for the course module or programme. You then have until the start of the semester to fulfill your eligibility. You need to show that you are eligible to be registered on the course module or programme you applied for.

Students who are required to pay tuition fees will be listed as 'Conditionally admitted' on their Notification of Selection Results. Your status will still be listed as 'Conditionally admitted' even after you've paid the tuition fee. This is because our computer system can't record when a student has paid the first instalment to their university.

 

If you were placed on a waiting list, the university may review applicants from the waiting list in specific order after admissions selection and may then offer you a place.

If you've been offered a place from the waiting list you'll receive an email from University Admissions that you've been offered a place. You can view your Notification of Selection Results in your account here at Universityadmissions.se.

You will also receive an email with information from SBS.

If you don't wish to keep the place, please be sure to decline it at Universityadmissions.se so that it can be made available to someone else.

If you accept your place, all further contact will be made with Stockholm Business School.

 

Stockholm Business School Student Association, Föreningen Ekonomerna
The business association is represented by students in several decision-making bodies like the Stockholm Business School board, the undergraduate board and the faculty board.

The association consists of a number of committees and projects which together form the operational activities. Its Education Committee works to further advance student influence at the School and to ensure that the education is of highest quality. The International Committee looks after exchange students and organises the Senior Buddy Program.
