ekonomiprogram

Ekonomiprogrammet is a national upper secondary school program (gymnasieutbildning) in Sweden that focuses on economics, business administration, and law. It is designed to prepare students for higher education in economics, business, law, and social sciences, as well as for professional work in related fields. The program typically spans three years and combines core subjects with specialized courses in economics, business studies, and law, along with mathematics, language studies, and elective options.

Curriculum and structure commonly emphasize analytical thinking, quantitative skills, and an understanding of economic and legal systems. Students study a mix of mandatory courses and electives, which may include accounting, entrepreneurship, marketing, statistics, and tax concepts, depending on the school. The program aims to provide a practical and theoretical foundation for interpreting economic phenomena, managing business operations, and understanding regulations that affect markets and organizations.

Pathways and outcomes are central to the program. Upon completing the curriculum, students earn a gymnasieexamen (upper secondary diploma) and gain eligibility for higher education at universities and university colleges in Sweden. Graduates commonly pursue bachelor’s programs in economics, business administration, law, political science, or related social sciences; some may continue in engineering or other fields with additional preparatory courses. Variations exist between municipalities and schools regarding elective options and specialization tracks, but the core aim remains to prepare students for adult life in a market-based economy.
