You learn to collect, analyse and use data to understand customers, markets and processes, and to turn those insights into better decisions and strategies.

What you study

The programme is built around four academic areas, each with a set weight:

• Economics and mathematics (30%): you become adept in economics, accounting and finance while understanding market changes caused by digitalisation.
• IT and technology (30%): you focus on the relationship between digital transformations and management, including both the promises and limits of new technologies and data-driven approaches.
• Organisation and management (25%): you gain insight into leading organisation-wide transformations in ways that ensure employee motivation and commitment.
• Culture and society (15%): you place the organisation in a larger socio-political context, affected by and affecting the conditions for digital management, for example through changing regulation.

Courses named on the programme page include Managing Innovation in Organizations, Regulation and Governance of Digital Business, Digital Technologies and Data-Driven Business, Economics in the Digital Age, Business Data Analytics and Visualization, Qualitative and Quantitative Methods, Financial Accounting and Reporting and its Digital Context, Digital Business, Globalisation and Geopolitics, Digital Organization, Corporate Finance, Knowledge, Leadership, and Change Management, Business Models and Value Chains in the Digital Economy, Information Management in Organizations, Technology and Societal Transformations, Managing Communication, Marketing and Relations, and the Bachelor Project. You also work with data privacy, regulation and ethics, and with how information is managed and shared in companies.

How the programme is organised

The first year is made up of set courses across the four academic areas. In the fifth semester you can take electives at CBS or other Danish universities, go on exchange (usually at one of CBS' more than 300 partner universities), or do an academic internship in a company in or outside Denmark. The internship is a working period completed with a project report. The sixth semester includes Managing Communication, Marketing and Relations and the Bachelor Project. Teaching uses written exams on campus, written assignments, oral exams on campus, group exams and active participation, as listed for each course.

Who it suits

You should choose this programme if you want to learn how digital transformations go hand in hand with overall business strategy, and if you are interested in how digital change affects organisations, employees and ways of working. The programme is for someone who wants to weigh benefits, costs and risks of digital tools and to think critically about when technology makes a real difference. The student group is international: 72% of students are from outside Denmark, the average age is 20.8, and you will speak English in both academic and social settings.
