Strategy and Organization at the University of Southern Denmark is a two-year master's programme taught in English in Odense. It sits in the Strategic Organization Design unit, an interdisciplinary research group that publishes in international strategy and organization journals. The programme has two main areas: strategy analysis and design, and organization analysis and design.

What you study

You work on how organizations create and capture value. That means formulating a strategy and then making it happen through an organization design that fits. The programme treats the design of a firm's strategy and structure as a harder problem than designing a technical system, and the teaching follows that idea. You get the unit's latest research insights and methods, so you can hold your own when you meet strategy and organization specialists at an employer.

Admission, language and next steps

To be qualified, you normally need a BSc in Economics and Business Administration from a university. A professional bachelor degree or another qualifying degree may be accepted if certain demands are met. For a degree to count as a BSc in Economics and Business Administration, it must come from a university and include at least 75 ECTS in economics and business administration. You may also need to document English at a specified level; the university's language requirements page sets out what counts. The register points to the Danish Agency for Higher Education for recognised exams and diplomas, and to the Guide to diploma recognition for assessment of foreign qualifications. Applications for master's programmes go straight to the institution. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge; other students pay a fee that the institution sets.

Master’s applications go straight to University of Southern Denmark, 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.
