For this position, we see that you can plan your time and work both from home and at one of our offices, with additional visits to our factories. You will belong to the Packaging Solutions division. The project will be executed during the spring semester of 2025, from January to June. Please note that specific guidelines and regulations should be consulted for accurate information regarding credit point allocation, e.g. in Sweden this project consists of 30 HP (Swedish college credits).

By writing your master thesis with Stora Enso you will get industry insights and valuable contacts for future work life while gaining valuable experience in a leading global company. You will have the chance to make a real impact on our business expansion efforts and help shape the future of the packaging industry. We learn from you, and you learn from us! Not the least, by joining Stora Enso for your master thesis project you will contribute towards a more sustainable world, as we believe that anything made from fossil-based materials today can be made from a tree tomorrow.
