Teaching close to practice
Our educations combine theory and practice. Business is an active part of our teaching, so we learn from business while they learn from us.
We prioritize teaching in small groups, group and project work, company visits, realistic cases and compulsory internships in all full-time educations.
When we prepare the teaching, we take the students as our starting point. The form of learning you encounter here is based on:
- Proximity and relevance – eg ongoing involvement of companies
- Active students – as a student, you are co-responsible for learning, because we expect active participation
- Evaluation culture – for example, ongoing evaluation and feedback is a natural part of learning
- A good knowledge base – we connect both the current and relevant theory with business practice
International opportunities
We have 600 international students and send more than 300 students abroad every year as part of their education. Our teaching has an international format, so we both bring global students home to us and send Danish students out into the world.
Research and innovation
The development and implementation of educations must create value for both students and companies. That is why we work purposefully to put our competencies into play in specific research and innovation projects in collaboration with partner companies.
