Overview

The MSc in Business programme from BI Norwegian Business School provides a broad and versatile education, placing great emphasis on analytical and strategic thinking. You will learn how to translate data, theory, and past experiences into insight companies and organisations can use to adapt to an ever-changing world.

The Business programme at BI takes today's challenges seriously, and takes into account that sustainability, profitability, and innovation are closely linked.

On one hand, you will become a generalist or an all-rounder, with a general management education that is relevant to a number of different positions.

On the other hand, you will become a specialist in a subject area chosen to meet your interests and ambitions. You will also develop sound analytical and strategic skills that are needed in managerial positions in business, industry, and public administration.

In addition to being awarded a master’s degree, you may also qualify for the title of “Siviløkonom”, a well-established and recognised professional qualification in business and industry in Norway.

Career opportunities:

As a graduate, you will have the business world at your feet. You will receive a solid education and a wide variety of skills, suited for a leader in an international environment. You will have a strong general knowledge of economics and management and, depending on your choices during your degree, benefit from a specialisation in a specific area. With this knowledge, the career opportunities are many.
