UCN’S BUSINESS-UDDANNELSER
BUSINESS
Business-uddannelserne består af en række uddannelser
inden for finans, administration, eksport, markedsføring,
turisme, event og sport. Uddannelserne er en kombination
af kortere videregående uddannelser på 2 år, bacheloruddannelser
på 3½ år og top-up-uddannelser på 1½ år. På
Business er der i alt ca. 2.200 studerende.
Vi gør vores bedste for, at uddannelserne er relaterede til
den virkelighed, vores studerende kommer til at agere i.
Det betyder, at vi inddrager praksis ved at invitere gæstelærere
fra både den private og den offentlige sektor, besøger
virksomheder, arrangerer studieture, involverer os i praktikophold
m.v.
Vi arbejder også for, at vores studerende får viden om
internationalisering. Det gør vi ved, at vi har en lang række
internationale samarbejdspartnere i mange lande, hvor det
er muligt at tage noget af sin uddannelse. Der er også flere
og flere studerende, der kommer i praktik i udlandet. Vi
har også udveksling af undervisere med vores partnere. På
Business er der studerende fra ca. 40 lande, så der er gode
muligheder for at møde forskellige nationaliteter. Vi håber,
at du vil bruge disse muligheder for at lære andre kulturer at
kende både som national og som international studerende.
Vores læringstilgang betegner vi som ’Refleksiv praksislæring’
– det stiller krav til både dig og os. Som studerende på
Business forventer vi, at du involverer dig i praksis, er åben
overfor internationalisering og tør udfordre dig selv og os ved
at være åben og stille spørgsmål.
At begynde på en videregående uddannelse kan være en
udfordring. Der er mange nye medstuderende og undervisere
samt fag at forholde sig til. Vi vil gøre vores bedste for at
hjælpe - både når der er op- og nedture. Brug også hinanden
og vær ikke bange for at spørge os eller hinanden om hjælp.
THE BUSINESS PROGRAMMES AT UCN
Our business programmes consist of a number of programmes
in the fields of finance, public administration, export trade,
marketing, tourism, event management and sport management.
The programmes are a combination of AP Degrees of 120 ECTS
over 4 semesters, Bachelor Degrees of 210 ECTS over 7 semesters,
and top-up programmes of 3 semesters’ duration. UCN
Business has a total of 2,200 full-time students.
We are doing our best to relate the curricula to the reality our
students will be working in after graduation. This means that
we include practice by inviting visiting lecturers from both the
private and the public sector, arrange company visits, organise
study trips, and get involved in practice and internships.
We also work hard to ensure that our students get to know
about internationalisation. This we do by having a number of
university partners in many countries, where it is possible to
spend time during the education. Also, more and more UCN
students go on internships abroad. Partners send visiting
professors, and we exchange faculty with our partners. UCN
Business has over 40 nationalities studying on our campuses so
you have a good chance of meeting other cultures. We hope you
will appreciate this opportunity to develop intercultural competence
– great for both Danish and international students.
We call our study approach ‘Reflective Practice-Based Learning’
which places demands on you and us. As a student at UCN we
expect you to get involved in practice, be open to internationalisation,
and dare challenge yourself and your lecturers by being
open and by asking good questions.
It will be a challenge to start on a higher education programme.
Students have to develop good relationships with lecturers,
fellow students and staff. We at UCN will help the best we can, in
good times and in bad. Remember to use and rely on classmates
and do not be afraid to seek help from them or from us.
Hvad er din bedste
rejseoplevelse?
Sydstaterne i USA i
mobilhome.
What was your best
travel experience?
The Southern States of the
USA in a mobile home.
Hvis du skulle få
10 timer til at gå
ombord på et fly, hvad
ville du så give dig til?
Læse en god bog
eller se en film – fx
”As Good as It Gets’”
med Jack Nicholson i
hovedrollen. Han er
en fantastisk skuespiller,
der kan portrættere
de mest fantastiske
karakterer.
If you were to spend 10
hours onboard a plane,
what would you do?
Read a good book or watch
a film – e.g. ‘As Good as It
Gets’ with Jack Nicholson.
He is a fantastic actor who
knows how to portray the
most fantastic characters.
Hvilken kendt person
ville du allerhelst
støde på i en lufthavn
– og hvorfor?
Helt bestemt Bruce
Springsteen – også kendt
som The Boss. Hans musik
og politiske engagement
kan man kun blive
inspireret af.
Which famous person
would you most like to
run into in an airport
– and why?
Definitely Bruce Springsteen
– also known as
The Boss. Anyone must be
impressed by his music
and his political enthusiasm.
Hvis du måtte medbringe
tre ting på en
øde ø, hvad ville du så
tage med?
Min familie (så er øen
heller ikke øde mere),
et spil kort og dåsemad.
Uddannelseschef, Business
If you could bring only
three things with you
to a desert island, what
would you bring?
My family (in that case it
will no longer be deserted)
a deck of cards and some
canned food.
Hvor skal dit næste
rejsemål gå hen?
Det ved jeg ikke endnu,
men drømmer om at
gense det nordlige
Thailand.
Which is your next
travel destination?
I do not know yet
– but I am
dreaming of
revisiting
Northern
Thailand.
Mit navn er Henriette Rosa Eduardsen. I næsten 30 år har jeg arbejdet med uddannelse. Det har jeg kun, fordi
det er utroligt spændende. Det giver energi hver gang, vi optager nye studerende og efter nogle år kan ønske
dem tillykke som dimittender fra en af vores uddannelser.
Head of School of Business
My name is Henriette Rosa Eduardsen. For almost 30 years I have been working in the field of education. The only
reason I carry on is that I feel it is so incredibly exciting. I feel the energy coming every time we enrol new students and
when after a few years we can congratulate them as graduates from one of our programmes.
