Hi, I am 30 years old and I have professional experience over 6 years. My prior degree was not exactly in business and thus I am considering doing an EMBA in general management. And I need help choosing between two schools: CBS and SSE. In Copenhagen Business School EMBA costs 59,000 euros; however Stockholm School of Economics - around 43,000 euros. CBS has classes twice a month on Fridays and Saturdays, while SSE has a week of courses once a month. I don't mind taking a week off once a month because I think a week of courses really allow one to get in depth in the subject, instead of just two days. On the other hand, the hotel costs would be much higher. The travel distance is almost the same.

Other than that both schools seem to have similar programs and they both have a great reputation in the Nordics (two leading schools). Does anyone have any advice here? Anything that differentiates these two business schools? I would like to study in Scandinavia. I think it's a great region to be right now.

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.

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!

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.
