Introduction

Brief Introduction

Combine engineering and business to enhance your international career prospects!

Global Business Engineering is a 4½-year full degree professional Bachelor of Engineering programme taught in English and set in a vibrant environment of Danish and international students.

As a graduate, you will be able to combine knowledge of technical and business issues and have the global skills in language and communication necessary to work worldwide.

This combination makes the Global Business Engineer truly unique. During studies, you will learn how to design and implement technical solutions and also how to market and sell products. Through market analyses, product development, etc., you will also learn about cultural factors that may influence the buyers’ behaviour. The programme is taught in English at Campus Horsens and at Campus Aarhus C.

Content and Structure

The attractiveness of the global business engineer rests on a unique blend of science & technology, economics & international marketing combined with languages & culture.

The learning process covers theory in combination with a number of multidisciplinary projects to be carried out both individually as well as in groups. Theory lessons and classes will have higher intensity at the beginning of each semester, whereas they, later on, tend to be more project-oriented.

The duration of the study is nine semesters full time, including study exchange possibilities on the 5th semester and a work placement on the 7th semester in Denmark or abroad. The programme offers a combination of approximately two-thirds of engineering courses and one-third of business and language courses. You will study a number of core subjects and, depending on your wishes, various elective courses will allow you to create your own individual specialization profile.

The programme places a strong emphasis on science and technology in a unique combination of economics and marketing as well as languages and culture. The focus is on applied science combined with teamwork and project work.

Intelligent Mechanics and Systems
Developing intelligent products and systems is about integrating software, system development, and machine techniques. You will study the latest technologies, robotics, and satellite communication combined with business studies.

Sustainable Energy
You will learn about basic energy engineering, energy conservation, the design of energy plants as well as renewable energy technologies.

Admission Requirements

Requirements for International Students:

  • Upper Secondary School Examination Certificates and diplomas (please also send a copy of the transcript of records translated into English).
  • The International and the European Baccalaureates.
  • The above certificates must provide evidence of English language proficiency corresponding to a Danish A level (advanced level, minimum of three years at the upper secondary level) and a level in a second foreign language corresponding to a Danish C level (intermediate level, minimum of one year at the upper secondary level). A minimum mathematics level corresponding to a Danish B level is recommended.
  • If you are a non-Danish speaking international student, you may choose Danish as your second language instead of French/German/Spanish. This requires Danish lessons at "Sprogcenter Mitt" from the 1st semester, as well as courses in a second language at the 3rd, 4th and 6th semesters at VIA.
  • As for documentation of your current English language level, we accept the TOEFL test, the TOEIC test, the IELTS test or the Cambridge ESOL test.
  • You may also choose to sit for VIA University College's English Language Assessment Test (VIAT/e).

Applicants who are native speakers or have proof of secondary school education from the UK, Australia, the USA, Canada and New Zealand are exempt from the English language admission requirements.
