Overview

The International Shipping and Trade BSc course at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) is different from all the other programmes at CBS in that it focuses directly on just one industry. Rather than a general understanding of business conditions and business economics, you will develop a specific understanding of how shipping companies operate, how they develop strategies and business networks and how to plan and manage in an industry that operates in a global context, which is constantly changing.

Learning outcomes

Thus, the programme is for those who feel quite confident that the shipping industry is indeed where they want to have their careers – and who want an academic, industry-focused university degree as the foundation for that career.

Through your three years in the programme, you will experience academic studies in the fields of business economics and shipping combined with international as well as intercultural understanding and practical industry experience.
