Erhvervsakademi Aarhus | Business Academy Aarhus

Business Academy Aarhus develops and offers practice-orientated higher education programmes. With more than 5,400 full-time students, 6,300 part-time students and 400 employees we are one of the largest business academies in Denmark. Business Academy Aarhus is a School of Applied Sciences. In several European countries, this is an English-language term for institutions of higher education. The degree programmes we offer focus on applied degrees. Like universities, we provide both undergraduate programmes and can grant academic degrees, but we do not award master's or doctoral degrees. In addition to this we also offer continuing education and part-time programmes at bachelor's level and short-term courses for people who need to strengthen their qualifications on the job. Our programmes combine theory with practice. We prioritise tuition in small teams, group work, project work, cooperation with trade and industry, realistic cases and compulsory internships. We have about 400 international students, and every year more than 100 of our students go abroad for part of their programmes. Developing and completing programmes must create value to students and companies alike. With this in mind we make a dedicated effort to apply our qualifications in relation to specific innovation and development projects in a joint effort with partnership companies.
