Business and Management

The two-year programme is designed to prepare you for professions at management level within private and public organisations both nationally and internationally, or for an academic career. The first semester is reserved for core courses, such as strategy and leadership, which are common to all students.

As a student on the Master Programme you will acquire the skills needed to take responsibility for advanced assignments at management level within companies and organisations. Besides the above-mentioned skills you will be able to acquire in-depth knowledge in one of two areas:

• Management in a Global Society (MIG),
• Management of International Business (MIB).

During the second semester, you will take advanced courses in one of these above-mentioned specialisations. The third semester is ”elective”, which means that you may either choose to take elective courses, join the international exchange programme and study abroad at one of our 50 partners, or do an internship at a company or organisation.
