  2. 11 May to 28 May 2027

    Stockholm School of Economics in Riga - online interviews for top performers
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Published as "from May 11 till May 28, 2027". Only candidates who do well in the 17 April test are invited, and the window falls squarely across the May 2027 IB examination session — so if SSE Riga is on your list, expect to be interviewed during your exams and plan for it now rather than in May.

    Hard deadline
    Details

    Published as "July 25, 2027" for applicants from EU countries. This is the day an offer stops being yours: you have from 8 June to register, and a place you have not registered by this date is gone. Non-EU applicants must register by 20 June 2027, over a month earlier, to leave time for a residence permit — not your deadline, but it explains why the EU date is the later one. Studies begin 23 August 2027.
