    At Aarhus BSS, we continuously work on strengthening the quality of research and our graduates’ competencies by hiring a significant proportion of faculty with international background, by providing students with excellent exchange opportunities, by placing an increasing number of PhD graduates at other leading academic institutions and, finally, by recruiting talented international students to our degree programmes. The different aspects of mobility are becoming more important to graduates and faculty, and our increased collaboration in research and education activities across the school's academic fields and across Aarhus University provide for an advantageous starting point in meeting future demands.

    With approx. 13,000 full-time students, nearly 2,000 part-time students, almost 250 PhD students and close to 600 faculty members, Aarhus BSS ranks among the largest business schools in Europe. Furthermore, it is the largest business and social sciences unit in Denmark at university level with a broad academic base, encompassing both traditional business disciplines and social science disciplines.

    The strategy of Aarhus BSS for the period 2017-2020 supports Aarhus University’s four core activities – research, education, talent development and knowledge exchange. Achievement of the strategic goals presented in the strategy will serve to position Aarhus BSS among leading international research and educational institution benefitting students, businesses, organisations, the public sector and society at large.

    The school has a detailed strategy implementation process in place and is continuously monitoring the progress of its departments in relation to the strategic goals and actions as part of its annual strategic planning cycle.

    An international focus combined with scholarly openness and cooperation in research and teaching across academic disciplines provide us with advantageous quality coverage of all the major business and social science disciplines and place Aarhus BSS as a relevant contributor to groundbreaking research and provider of research-based education meeting the highest international standards.

    In terms of student exchanges, we have already been very successful in establishing partnerships and attracting qualified international students to our programmes. Currently, Aarhus BSS has 320 student exchange agreements with partner institutions in 44 countries. Each year, we send over 700 students abroad on exchange while welcoming about the same amount of international exchange students from all over the world.
