UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN

Founded in 1479

Number of students
35,000, of whom 2,000 study economics

In brief
The task of the University of Copenhagen is to educate, conduct research and impart in almost all fields.

We offer more than 70 educations and the budget is over DKK 4 billion.

Why we have chosen to provide a team for Grundfos Challenge
(MSc econ.) graduates are primarily employed in the business world in a wide sense. What is characteristic of the education is that it is based on a profound theoretical approach. We are currently establishing a finance line at master level and in connection with this, among other things, we have established courses in entrepreneurship and innovation. In the light of this, we consider it natural to take part in – and support – the Grundfos Challenge.
