Master of Business Development

What is MBD?

In a world where change is the only constant, the ability to evolve is the key to success. Master of Business Development (MBD) is designed to equip you with the essential tools and knowledge to drive innovation and growth within your company.
You will learn to identify the broader perspectives, tackle specific challenges, and create ground-breaking solutions that can take your business to new heights.
The programme is targeted at professionals in the private sector and is your opportunity to become a catalyst for positive change—ensuring your company does not merely survive, but thrives in the dynamic market of the future.

Choose a specialisation

Do you want to achieve greater professional depth, a clearer profile, and sharper strategic focus?
With a specialisation at the MBD, you choose a professional direction that strengthens your profile and ensures coherence throughout your education. You gain a clear structure where courses build upon one another to systematically develop your expertise within a focused area.
Our current specialisations: ✔️ Digital Transformation and AI (Danish) ✔️ Leadership (Danish) ✔️ Innovation (Danish or English)
The specialisations are designed specifically for those in the private sector. This means you don’t just gain new knowledge – you build depth, methodology, and a strategic overview that can be directly applied to your professional practice.
The framework is set. You choose the direction – and you still retain the flexibility to adjust your pace and adapt along the way.

Who can study the MBD?

The MBD is ideal for those who wish to strengthen their competencies in business development, leadership, strategy, and digitalisation – whether you are a manager or a specialist professional.
The programme is also highly relevant for companies looking to invest in their employees' development. This oprtunity for upskilling provides new perspectives and ensures the organisation is well-positioned to seize future opportunities and navigate challenges.

Flexible Composition

Do you want to strengthen your competencies – without necessarily following a fixed professional track?
With a flexible composition, you can choose individual courses across different themes to create a programme that matches your current needs. You can combine various subject areas, explore new perspectives, or focus on specific challenges within your organisation.
This option is for those who do not see themselves in one of our specialisations, or who simply wish to take selected courses.
If you are in doubt, we are always on hand to offer advice on how to best structure your education.
