Possibility: Financing your EMBA through gross salary deductions

If employed in Denmark already, you might be able to finance your EMBA through salary deductions at source (known as gross pay schemes, salary restructuring, flexible pay package, etc.) The cost of tuition will initially be paid by your employer and then come out of your gross salary before taxes. For more details on the gross salary deduction scheme the Danish Tax Authorities' homepage here and here (in Danish).

Company Sponsorship Option

EMBA participants are often partially or fully sponsored through their current employers. While we do not require a formal declaration of support from your employer, it is important to get your employer's approval of you taking the time to study outside of work.

The EMBA provides great benefit for you as well as your employer. If you would like financial support from your company, we will assist you in building a sound business case, which will have compelling results and evidence based on past participant performance.

We look forward to being a resource in this process.
