This two-year master's at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense builds directly on a bachelor's degree in Business Administration (HA) or another degree that gives access. You choose a profile and specialise. The programme is taught in English and sits inside SDU Business School, which keeps a close connection with companies and organisations, so you can test theories in practice while you study.

What you study

The programme is organised around four profiles, each with its own set of specialisations. You pick one profile and go deeper into that area.

• Marketing Management: Brand Management and Marketing Communication; Global Marketing and Consumer Culture; International Business and Marketing; Marketing, Social Media and Digitalization.
• Accounting and Finance: Accounting and Finance; Business Controlling; Management Accounting.
• Strategy and Leadership: Management and Leadership; Strategy and Organization; International Business and Management; Human Resource Management.
• Innovation, Growth and Sustainability: Data Driven Business Development; Business and Market Development; Innovation and Business Development; Sustainability Management.

There is also a separate specialisation in Global Supply Chain Management listed under the Accounting and Finance area on the programme page. The page does not list individual courses beyond these profile and specialisation names.

How the programme is organised

It runs for two years. You start from the knowledge and skills you gained in your bachelor's degree and then specialise through your chosen profile. As a student on the MSc, you are part of SDU Business School, which the programme describes as having a unique connection with companies and organisations. That means you can test theories in practice and build an international network while you study. The page does not give further detail on teaching formats, exam types or the structure of semesters.

Who it suits

It suits you if you already have a business administration background, or another degree that gives access, and you want to specialise rather than stay broad. The four profiles point to different directions: marketing and communication, accounting and finance, strategy and leadership, or innovation and sustainability. If you want to work closely with companies during your studies and build an international network, the SDU Business School setting is a good fit.
