Aarhus School of Business
Encyclopedia
Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus University (Danish Handelshøjskolen) is a business school
in Aarhus
, Denmark
. It offers both undergraduate and graduate level studies in areas such as Business, Management, Economics, Business Language, and Law.
On 1 January 2007, Aarhus School of Business merged with Aarhus University to become part of Aarhus University.
On 15 June 2010, it was announced that Aarhus School of Business and Faculty of Social Sciences at Aarhus University will be merging in the course of the next few years under the name of Aarhus School of Business and Social Sciences.
ASB's predecessor, The Jutland Business School (Den Jyske Handelshøjskole, DJH), has a somewhat more extensive history, however. Already in the late 1800s, DJH provided business programmes to young people from Jutland who wished to follow studies within business, economics and trade. Only when ASB was founded in 1939 did it become the academic institution that it is known as today.
Since the founding of ASB more than 65 years ago, it has grown and kept growing. In 1968, ASB moved from the original location downtown Aarhus to the yellow and red brick buildings which since then have provided the setting for the outstanding research and teaching that ASB stands for.
Today, ASB is an EQUIS
accredited business school and holds more than 7,000 students (a significant number of which are international students) and about 450 employees.
Departments:
Department of Business Studies, Department of Language and Business Communication, Department of Economics, Department of Business Law, Department of Management, Department of Marketing and Statistics.
The university is ranked number 63 in the 2009 THE–QS World University Rankings (in 2010 Times Higher Education World University Rankings and QS World University Rankings parted ways to produce separate rankings). In 2010 university was ranked as number 55 in world Leiden Ranking.
Some of these courses are taught only in English, others only in Danish and again others in a mix of English and whatever additional language a student may be studying.
As a general rule, classes pertaining to communication, business, law and administration generally exist in English, while business language studies generally focus on the differences between Danish and the language of the study programme.
ASB admits a large number of international students from all over the world on exchange programmes. Students coming to ASB as exchange students are naturally only offered classes in English.
During regular school hours and weekdays, Klubben is the main socializing area of ASB with spaces to study, relax with your friends, play fussball/pool/board games, but on Thursday nights, Klubben changes into a club where students meet and have fun until 2AM. Klubben is usually packed with both Danish and international students, and the atmosphere is often amazing. Klubben sells cheap beers and drinks, which, of course, is a big benefit to any student. Additionally, Klubben opens whenever any larger sports event such as the Champions League, Danish national team fixtures or Super Bowl is on. Due to a limited number of allowed visitors, Klubben usually only admits people studying at ASB.
Klubben has the largest turnover in sales of alcohol of any club in Denmark on any given Thursday night. Check out the website Klubben.dk for pictures from Thursdays in Klubben. Klubben is one of the business units of Studenterlauget, the one student union with most people employed in Denmark.
