Nearly half of the students at Copenhagen Business School's business
administration programme are women
The number of women enrolled at Copenhagen Business School's master's
programme for business administration has skyrocketed in the past year.
Women make up 44 percent of the student body this year - up from 16
percent last year. Similar programmes in Switzerland and France can
only boast of 20 percent female enrolment.
Anne Mette Dissing-Immerkær notes that the programme's emphasis
on economics and business understanding has found an eager market
among women outside of Denmark, despite tuition costs of DKK 220,000
(EUR 29,800).
'The goal is to give participants the necessary tools so they can
manage a modern company,' Dissing-Immerkær told daily newspaper
Berlingske Tidende. 'Focus is also placed on the individuals'
managerial skills and how they can be improved.'
She noted that only 15 percent of the students in the programme are
Danes. The rest come from around the world, especially India, China
and Canada.
The Scandinavian lifestyle convinced Anahit Goryan, 25, to leave
Armenia to study in Copenhagen.
She said the social welfare system ensures that 'people don't have
to fear the future'.
'Danes don't stay at the office until 10 at night,' she said. 'They
work short hours, but efficiently, so they also have time for their
families. That's a way of life that appeals to me.'
