The new BLC

Building opportunities in the modern society

In our globalised society it is important to have a broad knowledge of the foundational elements of society. Modern society is developing at a high pace and the needs of competences have changed. A business leader is no longer an expert in economics, finance or logistics; it is someone who has the ability to unite the competences of an organisation.

Our three cornerstones
With 25 years of experience, the BLC programme builds knowledge around three essential elements:
  • Business: What makes the wheels turn – understanding international economics is essential for almost any professional.
  • Language: More than a set of words and grammatical constructions; language is the whole interaction between sender and receiver. Skills in two different languages provide the ability to deal with diversity and to communicate in a global world.
  • Culture: The social framework for a society; defining the rules and habits for individuals. Understanding a culture enables you to recognise different perceptions of the same organisation depending on the cultural context.
Practical cultural experience
To further emphasise the cultural aspect, BLC students go on exchange at select BLC partner universities in a region where French, German or Spanish is spoken. Exchange is your chance to practice the language and understand the unique form of communication in a specific culture. You will use the theory in practice; a semester abroad provides you with knowledge that can only be obtained by experience.
Intercultural and interdisciplinary
The BLC programme enables you to see the complex picture of business and society in an international context. BLC graduates choose between a wide range of master’s programmes at CBS and universities abroad. The programme being taught in English and a second foreign language in an environment with 30% non-Danish students and international faculty, the multicultural and multilingual skills gained are seriously international and a great advantage when proceeding after the studies. No matter where you aim to go in life, BLC opens a range of opportunities in both the private and the public sector.
The combination of business, language, culture and exchange in one programme is your passport to opportunities for life in the modern society.
