Graduate Diploma in international business
The Graduate Diploma Program in International Business (HD2 IB) prepares you for the challenges that companies face when operating in Denmark and around the world.
Doing business across borders can be extremely profitable. It is not, however, without its potential pitfalls. The rules that govern cross-border business activities can be a lot more complicated and confusing than the rules governing domestic commerce. With global economic landscape rapidly changing and creating new opportunities, studying business from an international perspective is vital for all of you who are interested to work with diverse cultures and across international boundaries.
Knowledge about international business is useful not only to the private but also to the public sector. International business and public policy also go hand in hand. For instance, to formulate public policy, you need to know how context matters for business, understand the importance of institutions, culture and strategy for companies.

Thus, providing you with the ability to make informed decisions that consider ethical, economic and social implications.
