Master

Our current portfolio of master programmes consists of eight programmes open to both Swedish and international students.

The master programmes at JIBS draw upon our world-class research in areas such as entrepreneurship, international trade, regional economics, financial economics, informatics, family business, logistics, statistics, international tax law, business development and innovation. The programmes give you an opportunity to learn more about areas of high relevance to the business community and to public policy, and at the same time receive a thorough academic specialisation.

Optional Second Year

Each of the programmes allows you to earn, after one year, a 60-credit master degree relevant to the area of study. Five of the programmes also provide you with the option to continue your master studies for a second year, leading to a 120-credit master degree. The benefits of continuing with the second year of studies are that you are given an opportunity to study abroad at one of our partner universities in the first semester of the second year, and you receive an education that makes you better prepared to take on cutting-edge research and doctoral studies in a particular subject area. As an alternative to studying abroad in the second year, you may participate in elective courses at JIBS. Some of the elective course credit may be associated with an internship for a business or government related project (if you are successful at finding such an internship with academic merit) so real life experience can be included in your education.

In the spring semester of each year in each of the master programmes there is a 15 credit thesis assignment supervised by professors at JIBS, so if you stay for two years you will be required to have completed 30 credits in thesis activity.
