Business

This two-year master in business gives you a broad, versatile foundation with strong quantitative, analytical, and strategic skills. You’ll learn to turn data and quantitative evidence, theory, and experience into practical insight that helps organisations adapt and create value in a fast-changing world- recognising how sustainability, profitability, and innovation are connected.

You will build general management competence and specialise through a major aligned with your interests and ambitions. Along the way, you strengthen skills employers value: quantitative analysis, problem solving, cross-functional teamwork, and clear communication.

You may also qualify to use the Norwegian professional title Siviløkonom, a well-established and recognised credential in business and industry.

Programme structure and shared foundation

The Master in Business is built on a strong shared academic foundation across all majors. All students complete four common, mandatory courses to establish a solid analytical and strategic foundation.

These courses are:

• Business Case
• Business Economics
• Data Analysis
• Mathematics and Quantitative Methods

In addition to these four courses, you choose your major. A major consists of five mandatory courses and one elective. In the third semester, you can also choose elective courses, an internship or go on exchange.

Majors

Tailor your degree by choosing a major that forms the core of your programme. Each major combines advanced coursework with real cases and projects. The Finance major is also offered at our campus in Bergen.
