The School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg (Swedish: Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet) is a business school in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was founded in 1923 as an independent business college and is situated in the centre of the city, between the districts Vasastaden and Haga. In 1961 it was integrated into the state-run university system, still as a separate college, but then was integrated into the University of Gothenburg in 1971. Different from the other colleges at the university, it continues to use a Swedish name form (högskola) which usually denotes an independent college, and is a parallel to the Stockholm School of Economics.
A first major extension of the school's building was made in 1952 according to designs by the architect Carl Nyrén (in Functionalist style); the second extension was made in 1995, with a new building in Neo-Functionalist style.
It offers many study programmes including 11 two-year international master programmes taught in English, which are[1]:
- Master of Science in Accounting
- Master of Science in Economics
- Master of Science in Environmental Management and Economics
- Master of Science in Finance
