A fundamental element of the MBD programme for all is the two mandatory courses. They give you a basic understanding of how to drive development and change in your organization.
The mandatory courses are available in English as well as Danish.
Our courses can be taken as stand-alone courses or as the building blocks for a degree of your own design. Learn more about the elements of an MBD and the courses you can choose from below.
Build your own degree
At MBD, you design your own programme and make it relevant to you and your company. Below we have divided our courses into the categories they belong to, as building blocks in your degree, so you can get a picture of what you MBD would look like.
The core courses give you insight into key disciples within busines economics that are essential to business development. As part of your MBD, you must choose 4 out of 7 available core courses.
The core courses each provide insight into 4 topics that are central to any business:
- People
- Innovation
- Operations
- Strategy
You may choose whichever core course you want to take, but if you want a basic understanding of all parts of a business, we recommend that you choose a core course within each of the four topics.
Most of the Danish core courses are also offered in English.
The purpose of the electives is to allow you to tailor your MBD to your individual needs and ambitions. That's why very few graduates leave with exactly the same degree. You must select electives equivalent to a total of 18 ECTS credits.
The electives are available in the following versions:
6 ECTS courses: 4 days of lectures
3 ECTS courses: 2 days of lecrures
6 ECTS sector-specific courses: Courses aimed at the financial sector or the Life Science sector.
