3. CLOSE relations WITH BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

Relevance and substance are keywords for the education at NHH. Here you will get both the practical tools and the analytical skills you need to kickstart your career.

We cooperate closely with business and industry, which means that you will work on real-life cases and attend lectures by business leaders in many subjects.

4. EXCITING INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

5. Dedicated students 

Your time as a student consists of more than just studying. At NHH, you will become part of an active and diverse student environment, and you will have a multitude of opportunities to take part.

The student association NHHS consists of more than a hundred interest groups. In addition to getting to know your fellow students, you will be provided with a valuable learning arena where you can apply what you learn in the classroom to real-life.

Indeed, many of the students emphasise the combination of academic knowledge from their studies and the experience they gain from being involved in the student association as a great asset to their education.
