How An MBA Landed Me A Job With One Of The Biggest Danish Pharmaceutical Companies
Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing industries among MBA students. A recent BusinessBecause article highlights how an MBA from Copenhagen Business School (CBS) enabled a career shift from the lab to a strategic role at one of Denmark’s leading pharmaceutical companies: Lundbeck.
Vasundhara Vigh, a former scientist, chose the CBS MBA for its one-year structure, small class size, and strong focus on sustainability—making it the ideal launchpad into the fast-paced pharma industry. Studying in Copenhagen, a hub for biotech and pharma, was an added advantage.
She credits the MBA with helping her develop a wide range of business skills, from communication to cross-cultural collaboration. Most importantly, it gave her valuable insight into the human side of business—something she hadn’t encountered in the lab.
After graduation, Vasundhara leveraged both the CBS alumni network and the school’s careers support services to secure her role at Lundbeck.
