Programme structure
The first 3 semesters take place at UCN in Denmark, and consist of compulsory and elective subjects. On the programme’s 4th semester you can go for either an internship at a company of your choice in Denmark or abroad, or you can select a study period. Lastly, a final project is to be written in order to complete the programme. This is to be made in close collaboration with a specific company, and could be the same company where you did your internship during the specialization period.
On the Marketing Management programme at UCN instruction usually takes place between 8:30 a.m. and 15:00 p.m. Instruction is divided into modules that last half a day or a whole day. For instance a module could be about competitor analysis in the subject “International Marketing” or it could be a lecture, a group assignment, field analysis etc.
Some modules will be interdisciplinary where students from different study programmes work together on a specific subject e.g. international distribution possibilities for export companies.
Between tuition days there are so-called study days where students can study/read or solve assignments in study groups. UCN students can receive help from lecturers for solving assignments.

At UCN students and lecturers are closely connected. That is why we usually teach small classes or groups and everyone receives individual guidance. We use different methods for instruction such as whole-class teaching, cases, project work, field work and individual assignments. There will be interdisciplinary activities on a regular basis to strengthen coherence within and between subjects.
Interdisciplinary events can be study trips, business simulation games, theme days and IT courses. They could also include a visit from a Californian professor, giving a lecture on cultural differences, an export officer from Slovakia telling us about the Eastern European market or a financial advisor sharing his knowledge on Denmark’s future financial development.
The Marketing Management programme offers varied and interesting everyday life.
Compulsory subjects and electives
