Bachelor education

From 1992 to 1995, I was a Bachelor of Science student at Aarhus University, school of business and social sciences in Denmark as well as at Hochschule Osnabrück in Germany.  

Mathematics, statistics, economomics, accountancy, finance and investment planning
From the start of the education I recall, for example, the high level math course that took place on Saturdays. I found this a great help - not least because that we did all kinds of exercises. Looking back, this math course was of benefit to me to, for example, learn well about economics, statistics, accountancy, finance and investment planning.

Business understanding
Several subject during the bachelor education helped me gain a solid foundation in business economics - including accounting, management accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, and organizational theory. Studying these topics over a longer period of time equipped me with the ability to analyze and understand a company's economic situation and strategy. 

Technological understanding
Courses on information systems and technology helped to provide a good understanding of how technologies can be leveraged in the business world. 

Language skills
Throughout my bachelor education I learned to use English, German and French professionally. I am thankful for this, as I experience that this valuable part of the education has been essential for communicating and collaborating across borders.

At a part of my bachelor education, I studied at Hochschule Osnabrück in Germany from from Summer 1994 to Summer 1995. At Hochschule Osnabrück, I experienced that conditions for learning innovatively were good and had a really great study year in Germany. Among reasons for the good innovation conditions in Osnabrück were, I think, these 4 reasons:

1. Some of the teachers, I had, were good at encouraging students to think creatively and try out new things. In this regard, I recall that some teachers had business backgrounds, were entrepreneurs of some kind and were used to working creatively as well  as trying ideas out.

2. Students had diverse backgrounds They came from many different nations, had different values and different professional backgrounds. That encouraged creative thinking further. I recall that I spent quite a lot of time with students from Italy.

3. There were great sports centers in Osnabrück with all kinds of sports events during which people met up with each other and exchanged thoughts / knowledge / ideas. For example, I recall playing football, volleyball and also taking a rock 'n roll course.
