On this site, you can read about the experiences of former students from your study in regard to their qualifications and how they use them in the job market.
The list is by no means exhaustive – there are plenty of students who have used their education to learn many other things and who have created a future that no one could have seen coming. But remember, the list is never ending.
In the midst of study preparation, exam assignments and other teaching and learning activities, it can be difficult to see how all of your work with your education programme actually pays off in terms of competencies.
An education in Business, Language and Culture is a long learning process, during which you learn how to:
- communicate academic issues and solutions to both peers and non-specialists,
- analyse complex issues and work contexts in a global organisation on the basis of a solid knowledge of basic business economics disciplines,
- have a high level of written and oral command of a foreign language and use it in negotiating situations
- be able to independently initiate and implement academic and interdisciplinary collaboration and assume academic responsibility.
You may find yourself thinking that your programme includes many other and exciting competencies – and that’s a good thing, because you’re the expert and can continue adding things to the ‘list’ while studying.
What do you become when you finish your education? You’ve probably often been asked this question at family gatherings without knowing exactly what to answer. Perhaps you’re asking yourself the very same question. If you’re looking for some inspiration for an answer, keep on reading. Your skills give you a host of options.
Specifically, you can take up a position where your duties include:
- setting up explanatory models for consumer behaviour and apply them in a market strategy context
- participating in communication and marketing projects in private and public companies
- discussing the effects of national monetary and fiscal policy interventions on exchange rates and employment
- applying your knowledge of intercultural issues in the English-speaking world and the relationship of English-speaking areas with Denmark
A degree in Business, Language and Culture gives you plenty of tools in your business administration, marketing and management toolbox. You have also learned to analyse and communicate with different cultures and become fluent in multiple languages. Having these competencies will allow you to solve tasks in marketing, management, planning or communication for a company or organisation.
Several times during your studies, you may find yourself wondering what it’s good for – and if you’ve made the right choices. While having doubts can be unpleasant, it also allows you to think about the many options you have during your studies. These options can help to shape your profile in the direction that you find exciting and makes sense for your career plans.
Perhaps you find the idea of working in communications, export, marketing, at an embassy or something else exciting, but you don’t know if you have what it takes. Fortunately, you have plenty of opportunities to find out during your studies.
You may find it interesting to do an internship (project-oriented course) and/or go abroad for a semester during your studies to try out another culture, test your skills and discover exciting new opportunities.
Or maybe you’re thinking of trying a student job, where you get the chance to do tasks that require you to apply some of the skills you learned at university and discover new career opportunities you didn’t know were possible for someone with your skill set.
Among many other things, these are the kinds of opportunities that can help you shape your profile and shed new light on your career prospects.
