AAU Business School (AAUBS) offers bachelor's, master's, and executive programmes within Economics and Business Administration and Economics. Our programmes are built on Aalborg University's principles of problem-based learning, interdisciplinarity, innovation, and close collaboration with businesses and society.

Through collaboration with students, your organization can gain new perspectives, access the latest academic knowledge, and explore solutions to real-world business challenges. While external collaboration can be relevant throughout many programmes, the final year of the Bachelor's programme in Economics and Business Administration (HA) and the Master's programmes offer particularly strong opportunities for company engagement.

Possible collaboration formats include:

  • 5th Semester Business Project: A practical collaboration where a group of students works on a specific challenge or opportunity within your organization and develops analyses and recommendations.
  • Bachelor's Project: An opportunity to engage a bachelor student in examining a business issue that is relevant to your company.
  • Master's Internship Project (9th Semester): Near-graduation master's students work closely with your organization over an extended period, applying advanced knowledge in areas such as strategy, marketing and sales, finance, innovation, sustainability, international business, data, and AI.
  • Master's Thesis: A deeper and more specialized collaboration where a master's student investigates a specific challenge, opportunity, or research question relevant to your organization.
  • Mentoring Programme: Support the development of future business professionals by becoming a mentor for a master's student. Through AAU Business School's mentoring programme, experienced professionals share insights, provide guidance, and build valuable connections with talented students.

What our partners say

We've collaborated with Aalborg University Business School on student projects for several years. The collaboration gives us new perspectives on our business and access to the latest knowledge, while also giving us the chance to meet and inspire future graduates. It helps raise our visibility and strengthens our recruitment base, and we find we get real value back for a relatively modest effort.

Kim Kristoffersen, Director, Spånteknik

For us, the collaboration is first and foremost about giving students the chance to test their skills in a real-world context. By working with concrete cases, they gain insight into how theory translates into practice, and experience that can strengthen their transition into working life. We see it as an important investment in students' development and a good way to bridge education and business life. The collaboration creates value for us through new insights and fresh perspectives on real business challenges.
