BSc in Business, Language and Culture (BLC)

BSc in Business, Language and Culture (BLC)
Graduates from the BLC possess substantial knowledge of economics and business practice, and interdisciplinary and intercultural skills. These skills are in great demand by international companies, and by state institutions and non-governmental organisations involved in international cooperation and networking. If you want to pursue a career in international companies such as Novo Nordisk or organisations such as the United Nations or the European Union, the BLC is an ideal point of departure. It will enable you to work with international marketing, intercultural communication, organisational development, strategic management, development projects, human resource management etc.
Core competencies of a BLC student include:
• Problem solving skills
• Nuanced and critical approach
• Cultural awareness and understanding
• Good at working with other people
• Good presentation skills
”I work with organisational and human development. I use my intercultural knowledge, my ability to critically analyse future scenarios, and my experience with project-oriented work to a great extent. As a BLC graduate, I am able to work across disciplines and “make the ends meet” when working with traditional specialists such as engineers, economists, lawyers etc.”
Pia F. Warming, MSc BLC Graduate in Intercultural Management, HR Consultant, Danish Technological Institute.
"Multinational enterprises, small companies operating across borders, consulting companies serving global businesses, and international organisations - effective management in any of these contexts requires acute sensitivity to culture and, by implication, to values. For managers, it is crucial to be able to leverage culture as a strategic and organisational tool - without awareness of cultures you cannot make it."
Mads Øvlisen, Former CEO and Chairman of the Board of Novo Nordisk A/S
”BLC graduates acquire a supreme base to perform exceptionally in the global business environment: a broad and solid background for contributing to international companies/organisations in most commercial roles, the BLC graduate copes with strategy, organizational change, and above all the importance of people with the training in cultural sensitivity to understand e.g. the go-to-market strategy and local modus operandi in emerging markets. BLC shapes valuable team-players and well-rounded leaders, best confirmed by the diversity in responsibility and impressing careers so many BLC graduates establish.”
