What you study

The register description names the core subjects directly: strategy, innovation and change processes. You work with international strategy and change processes, and you get tools for analysis, organisation and development in a global context. The programme is built around the challenges companies face when they operate on the global market and need people who can develop and carry out development strategies in an international perspective.

The register lists project examples that show the kind of work students do:

• A Continuous Improvement (CI) project aimed at developing an improved implementation process of CI
• Implementing a self-governing organisation
• Configuration of project portfolios as a means for controlling and improving the performance of internal development projects
• Configuration and management of an international supply chain
• How to manage the fuzzy front end of product innovation
• Organisational and systems support for knowledge sharing in a global perspective

Admission, language and next steps

To be admitted you need a bachelor's degree in business engineering or industrial engineering, or a similar engineering degree with emphasis on operations, logistics, supply chains and enterprise systems. You must also document English proficiency at an acceptable level; Aalborg University sets out its language requirements on its own pages.

Apply directly to Aalborg University with all relevant documentation. If you hold a foreign certificate or diploma and want to know whether it meets the general entry requirements, contact the university directly. The Danish Agency for Higher Education keeps a list of commonly recognised exams and diplomas, and its Guide to diploma recognition covers assessment of foreign qualifications. Exchange students should ask their home institution about application procedures and deadlines.

Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other full-time degree students pay a tuition fee set by the institution. Exchange students pay no tuition.

The programme has a high degree of collaboration with industrial partners, so you can build an industry network before you graduate.

Master’s applications go straight to Aalborg University, not through optagelse.dk, and the institution sets its own deadline. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, residence permits and housing.
