Private companies, especially companies which are active in more EU member states, are looking for people that are familiar with EU policies and laws in order to be able to solve problems that may arise when exporting goods and services to other member states, or when establishing subsidiaries in other member states. Organisations and government units also need this kind of sought after expertise.

The MSc in EU Business and Law (MSc(EU)) provides students with these skills. The programme exposes the students to an international environment and provides an up-to-date theoretical framework for studying the EU business environment. The MSc(EU) combines three areas: economics; international business; and law. The programme structure allows an intensive interplay between these three areas. In this way, EU policies are analysed from different perspectives: the economic policy on which they are based, their legal framework and its implementation, as well as their consequences for EU business.

The need for more holistic ways of appraising an organisation’s performance is increasing as organisations face an ever-changing environment with increasing competition. Any company is highly reliant on its information systems to be accurate about the general situation of the company as well as informative about the possibilities that the future holds for the company.

There is a need for new information systems which can provide management with valid information about the future, but structured in the same manner as the classical balance sheet. The aim of the MSc in Business Performance Management (MSc(BPM)) is to provide the students with tools and techniques which will enable them to develop and implement these kinds of new measures for management.

The Master’s degree programme in business administration is a two-year programme that leads to the Master in Social Sciences degree (cand.soc.). The teaching takes place at the School of Economics and Management at the University of Aarhus and at the department where you study for your subsidiary subject.

In the economics and management degree programme, there is no limit to the quality of research and teaching. Many of the teachers at the school have important positions in society as chairmen of public commissions and committees, or board members in private sector companies.
To be admitted to the Master’s degree programme in business administration, you must have completed a Bachelor’s degree in business administration and a subsidiary subject taught at upper secondary school.

The business administration part of the Master’s degree consists of a number of elective subjects and a thesis that preferably combines business administration and your subsidiary subject, but with an emphasis on business administration.

Students can select non-business administration elective subjects corresponding to a maximum of 15 ECTS credits.
