International Business Degrees Online

The BSc programme in International Business prepares you for a career in the growing global economy.

As an undergraduate on the BSc International Business programme you can learn from first-hand experience, what it takes to succeed in today’s global business world. You will receive a thorough academic grounding that allows you to identify, analyse and solve the problems you will meet in future careers as managers and consultants in multinational companies.

But more than that, you will also develop your personal skills and abilities by working in multicultural teams that replicate the business environment after graduation.
Real business settings

International Business courses are taught in intensive quarters, rather than traditional semesters. During each quarter you will study only two courses at a time, followed by an exam. Each quarter will also see you working on a new demanding project, working with and against your fellow students in a true representation of business life.

To maintain this close contact with business, the programme encourages internships with companies in Denmark or elsewhere. An advisory board makes sure that the programme’s course and teaching are up to date.
Hong Kong, North Carolina or…?

The programme has a truly international environment with 50% Danish and 50% non-Danish students. With an emphasis on cross-cultural teamwork, you will experience cross-border cooperation from the moment you enter the classroom.

Each year 15 hopeful International Business students are selected to the GLOBE exchange programme. Along with 15 students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and 15 students from Keenan Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina, you will sample European, Asian and American business at each of the universities.

Copenhagen Business School has a long tradition of student and lecturer exchanges, and if you are not chosen for the GLOBE programme, opportunities are available to study in other universities around the world.
