About MSc in Economics and Business Administration in General Management and Analytics
Why study MSc EBA GMA?
3 good reasons to choose MSc EBA GMA
Shaping strategy and leading across boundaries
Turning data into decisions
Creating innovative solutions with real impact
“I like that the courses we have are a combination of everything, ranging from strategy, analytics courses to finance and accounting. It gives you a broader perspective into different theoretical skills which you can apply to various roles and career paths.” Helen
MSc EBA GMA
Learn to solve complex business challenges
Real business problems are rarely simple. As a manager, you will often face situations where many issues are connected across different parts of an organisation. On this programme, you will learn how to set goals, deal with complexity, and create solutions that add value to both companies and society.
Real- life practice
You will build strong skills in problem-solving and decision-making by combining financial knowledge with analytical tools. Through cases and real-life examples, you will practice using data to design solutions and work with stakeholders across different areas of a business.
Build a solid foundation in management
The programme is based on business economics and gives you a broad foundation for working as a manager. You will learn how to make decisions, understand their financial impact, and see how businesses operate in a wider economic context.
People and data
As a future manager, you will take on roles that involve setting strategy, developing organisations, and ensuring that decisions are carried out. A big part of this is knowing how to bring the right people together and communicate decisions that are not only profitable but also responsible.
“What drew me to GMA was its unique emphasis on applying data, strategy, and finance for well-informed decision-making.” Tore
Student, MSc EBA GMA
Use data and analytics to make better decisions
With the growth of big data, AI, and business intelligence, managers now have powerful tools for making smarter decisions. On this programme, you will learn to use these tools in practice. For example, by modelling customer behaviour, predicting demand, evaluating investments, or assessing business opportunities.
Navigate complexity and make changes
But good management is about more than numbers. You will also learn to combine data with business logic, critical thinking, and collaboration. This means being able to translate complex analyses into decisions that make sense for people and organisations.
To prepare you for this, you will work with both quantitative methods (such as data analysis) and qualitative methods (such as observing and understanding organisational processes). This mix will give you the ability to manage complexity and drive change in real companies.

Studying in English
If you do not have a bachelor’s degree taught in English, we recommend that you read more about what to consider before applying for an English taught programme.

Options during the programme
Electives
On the 3rd semester, you can choose to study courses of your specific interest. CBS offers a large number of electives within a wide range of topics. You can also choose to take electives at other Danish universities. The electives you choose have to be relevant for your programme.
See the current selection of CBS electives on Courses at master level.
Minor
On the 3rd semester, you can also choose to study a so-called minor. A minor is a package of electives within a specific academic area. Typically, it consists of 3 courses. By taking a minor, you strengthen your competences within a specific area of interest, and you can use it to qualify for specific jobs or industries.
See the current selection of CBS minors on Minors.
Exchange
Many students choose to go on exchange on their 3rd semester; usually at one of CBS’ more than 300 partner universities. When you go on exchange through CBS, you do not have to pay for the teaching at the foreign university (with a few exceptions), and you can bring your SU (student grant).
Find a list of all CBS partner universities here.
Internship
You can choose to replace some of your electives with a so-called academic internship. The academic internship consists of an internship period at a company, which is then completed with a project report. You can do the internship at a company in Denmark or abroad.
When doing an internship you get the opportunity to relate theory to practice and reflect on the academic training you receive at CBS in a practical setting. Therefore, the project report and work assignments during your internship have to be relevant to your study programme.
CEMS
On General Management and Analytics, you can apply for the CEMS - Master in International Management programme. CEMS MIM is a double degree programme, which gives you the opportunity to add a second degree in international management to your CBS degree. This means that you will get both the MSc degree and the CEMS in International Management degree.
CEMS is a 1-year programme, which you study in combination with your CBS degree in your 3rd and 4th semester. Part of it takes place at one of the other CEMS universities abroad.
Learn more about CEMS / Master in International Management.
Master's thesis
Your 2nd year is completed with a master's thesis. You choose the topic you want to write about which allows you to focus on a specific topic of your interest. Typically, you write your master's thesis with a fellow student.
“The enthusiasm shows in the classroom, where discussions and feedback are highly encouraged. Furthermore, it is a very large programme, but this has meant lots of opportunities for meeting other students. ” Tore
Student, MSc EBA GMA
Study environment
Academic and social environments
You will be part of an active study environment combining social and academic activities. The programme includes a balance of courses that can be studied more individually and courses where group activities are a vital element. The student association, GMA Society, plays an active role in supporting a good student environment.
Be curious, kind and collaborate
At GMA, we want a stimulating learning environment based on mutual respect through professionalism and kindness. Professionalism means adopting academic curiosity, integrity and striving to develop. Kindness means acknowledging differences and collaborating to achieve mutual development.
Student life at CBS
Studying at CBS is much more than just preparing for and going to classes.
At CBS, there are more than 20,000 students with different backgrounds and nationalities. Teamwork is an essential part of studying at CBS both in classes and in extracurricular activities.
With more than 100 student organisations, you also have plenty of opportunities to engage and connect with students across programmes and classes.

Student life at CBS
Being a CBS student is about more than going to lectures and doing exams.
Get a glimpse of student life at CBS. Here, you can explore what a typical day of teaching and exams looks like.
Also, you can learn how our programmes are structured and read about social life on campus, including the many ways to connect with fellow students.
Teaching and Exams
Teaching
Teaching combines lectures, exercises and project work, with some courses using blended learning. The balance between individual tasks and group work varies.
Most courses have individual exams, but group activities are part of the learning process. Some focus on individual study (for example Corporate Finance), others combine group projects with individual exams (for example Strategy and Organization) or use group assignments (for example Market Informed Decisions and Business Project).
Read more about Teaching and working methods on Student life
Exams
All courses on the programme include a final exam and the programme includes a variety of examination formats, such as written sit in exams, oral exams and home assignments. To facilitate learning, feedback is included in all courses. Some courses include a mandatory feedback assignment required to participate in the exam.
Read more about Exams and Exam forms on Student life.
Time consumption
Workload
On the master’s programme, you will work more independently than on the bachelor’s programme, and teaching places greater emphasis on preparation as well as in-depth individual study.
If you are studying on a full-time graduate programme, you should expect spending approximately 37 hours on average on your studies each week. The workload will vary during the year.
Hectic around exams
The time leading up to assignment submissions and exams can be hectic, and you can easily work more than 40 hours a week in this period. Preparing for oral exams can be especially time consuming, because you have to be able to explain and discuss the covered concepts and theories and learn things by heart.
Read more on Teaching and working methods
Student job
Most programmes are quite flexible in terms of combining studies with a student job. Most students work a maximum of 15 hours a week in order to have sufficient time for their studies.
Studying in Denmark - for internationals
If this is your first time studying in Denmark, you may find teaching and exam formats, the grading scale and the academic calendar very different from what you are used to.

CBS Admissions cannot make a pre-assessment of your individual qualifications before you apply for admission.
Find your bachelor programme
Instead, we have assessed a number of bachelor programmes. In these so-called advance assessments, you can see whether your bachelor degree fulfils the academic entry requirements.
An advance assessment shows whether the obligatory courses in your bachelor programme fulfil the academic requirements for a master programme at CBS.
We typically prepare an advance assessment when many applicants from the same bachelor programme apply for the same master programme.
You can find them by clicking on the tabs above.
Missing courses?
If you are missing courses, you may be able to fulfil the requirements through relevant elective courses or supplementary courses.

Make a self-assessment
What is a self-assessment?
If there is no advance assessment available for your bachelor’s degree, you can make a so-called self-assessment of your educational background.
If there is an advance assessment of your bachelor degree showing that you are missing certain academic areas to fulfil the academic requirements, you can also use the self-assessment to show how you fulfil the missing academic areas.
Your self-assessment is not binding for us, but it can help you prepare your application and give us a better overview of your educational background.
How to make a self-assessment
Start by listing all the undergraduate courses you have taken, or are going to take, as part of your bachelor's degree or in addition to it, and compare them to the programme's academic requirements.
Read your course titles and descriptions carefully. Try to categorise the courses according to the master programme’s academic requirements.
To get an idea of how we assess each course category, you can use the course catalogue to see how we have categorised different CBS elective courses or CBS Summer University courses within each category.
Use the self-assessment form
We have created a form you can use for your self-assessment. The form is a tool to help you match your courses with the academic entry requirements for the programme and see to what extent you fulfil them.
Remember to include
- Courses you have already passed
- Courses you are currently taking
- Courses you expect to pass before study start (e.g. supplementary courses at summer university)
