Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University's Business School

Aarhus BSS: A broad business school with an international outlook

Arhus BSS is one of the four faculties at Aarhus University—a top 100 university according to several international rankings. With approximately 11,800 full-time students, several thousand part-time students, 230 Ph.D. students and more than 550 faculty members, Aarhus BSS is one of the largest business schools in Europe. The school is accredited by the international accreditation bodies AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS, the latter specifically applying to our core business activities.

At Aarhus BSS, we bring business and social science disciplines together in a broad business school—a term we use to signal that we place business education in a broader perspective by letting it thrive and prosper alongside strong, core fields of psychology, political science and law. We offer a wide range of high-quality and international degree programmes within the fields of finance, business economics, accounting, marketing, management, corporate communication, business engineering, psychology, law, political science and public administration. Research-based teaching is the foundation of our degree programmes. Thus, our lecturers implement the latest research into their courses with the aim of strengthening students’ learning by presenting state-of-the-art research methods and turning new knowledge into hands-on solutions for real-life situations.

At Aarhus BSS, academic freedom and an international outlook are core values underlying our research and teaching activities.  Our broad scope enables us to attract researchers, lecturers and students from all over the world, who contribute to forming a highly international and academically diverse environment. Today, more than 90 nationalities are represented on campus.

Adding Value to Society

As a broad business school, Aarhus BSS aims to add value to society by creating knowledge within and across our core disciplines. We strongly encourage international research collaborations aimed at solving some of the global challenges facing our society, and our degree programmes are developed in close collaboration with our stakeholders from public and private organisations. In addition, we engage in various collaborations with a wide range of public, corporate, institutional, governmental and professional partners. By being in continuous dialogue with our external stakeholders, we aim to ensure that our degree programmes, research projects and services to society rendered remain relevant, adaptable to change and can develop in tandem with society’s needs and expectations.

About the Department

The Department of Management is one of the six departments at Aarhus BSS.  The department’s research and teaching environment is highly international with a mix of Danish and international academic staff members and PhD students. In addition, we have a dynamic exchange of international researchers, who stay at the department for short or long periods of time.
We employ more than 160 academic staff members and cover a broad range of disciplines within management, e.g. marketing, corporate communication, international business, organisation, HR, strategy, management accounting, innovation management, entrepreneurship, project management and information systems. We aim to conduct high-quality research, and we give high priority to publishing our research in leading academic journals and presenting it at recognised conferences.
