The Gothenburg Executive MBA programme at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg awards you an academic degree equivalent of 60 ECTS*.

*ECTS is the point system which Sweden, together with the rest of the EU, uses from autumn 2007 onward. One term is equivalent to 30 ECTS, as against 20 points in the old system. An education that was previously of 40 points will give 60 ECTS credits. In Swedish these are called högskolepoäng (hp).
