WHY STUDY AT BASW?

At Business Academy SouthWest we offer 6 different programmes that are taught in English, 3 AP programmes and 4 Bachelor programmes. International students can either choose to study a full programme or one semester.

Business Academy SouthWest has a dynamic and informal study environment. A part from attending lectures, students work together in groups, where each member is expected to contribute actively to discussions and paper-writing as well as being able to work independently. The students’ own critical and analytical initiative is a very important element of higher education in Denmark. This study form requires a lot of hard and independent work, which is academically rewarding for the individual student.

Internationalisation is a key part of our study programmes. It is achieved through study trips, internships abroad, study exchange, guest lectures from international partners andparticipation in international projects.

Almost 20% of our students are international and this creates an international atmosphere at the academy with great cultural diversity.

Innovative skills are considered as one of the most important skills for employees in the future. At Business Academy SouthWest we constantly work with innovation as key to success for both our students and our lecturers. All students will participate in innovation camps in close collaboration with companies.
