More students choose International Business
The BSc in International Business has accepted more students this year in response to growing demand, says IB director Professor Pascalis Raimondos-Møller.
Student numbers have increased from 100 to 120, with 60% coming direct from High School. The IB course has also seen a growing demand of students that have started another education, taken a gap year or worked abroad before joining the course. The number of these so-called Quota 2 applications rose by 25% in 2008.

While the numbers of overseas students in the first year dipped slightly in 2008, IB remains the most international in Copenhagen Business School with more than 40% of its students coming from outside Denmark.
"More students, both in Denmark and from overseas, have seen the value of the International Business bachelor," says Professor Pascalis Raimondos-Møller. "The mix of students from overseas and Danish students that have work experience from other countries gives us a dynamic atmosphere that benefits everyone, including the teachers."

BSc in International Business EngAGE
- Do you want to continue your career with a company directly after your BSc studies?
A selected group of BSc students will be granted the opportunity to follow a new programme aimed at continuing their career immediately after graduation in one of a number of large Danish companies.
The contents of this programme will be tailored in partnership with the companies, who will pose practical challenges to the students during the programme. The programme will be very academically demanding and offers individual coaching, preparing the students to work independently already after three years of studying.
The participants will be selected on the basis of an assessment of their aptitude. The companies will take part in the selection process.

Why choose International Business?
Lectures in English, an international programme and career opportunities are among the reasons given by current students.
"I had just finished high school and I was looking for an opportunity to study business," says Robert, a first year IB student from China. "Chinese businesses strongly emphasise internationally-oriented employees these days, and I knew I would have a better chance in the competitive business environment if I left China for my university studies."
A unique approach to international business education
The main task of the International Business programme is to educate students so they can work in, or be consultants for companies and organisations with international operations, says Associate Professor Jens Gammelgaard who took over as director of the International Business programme in 2009.
