2. The BSc in Business, Asian Language and Culture - International Business in Asia (IBA) offers students the opportunity to become qualified for business and business-related careers in global or internationally oriented companies, institutions and organisations within either the private or public sector. Qualification is achieved by successful completion of the programme, which combines business administration and economics with Asian specific business studies and studies in either Chinese or Japanese language and culture. The IBA curriculum is based on educational principles that draw upon Danish and European cultural, educational and social traditions
(2) IBA qualifies the successful graduate to:
Conduct comparative analyses and evaluate problems related to international business and organisational activities.
Specify internal and external organisational communication tasks that will enhance organisational success.
Formulate business strategies based upon qualitative and/or quantitative comparative analysis, and manage teamwork for a successful implementation of the stated strategies.

Knowledge of Chinese or Japanese culture and society combined with studies of other East and Southeast Asian societies and cultures in general.
A demonstrated level of competence in oral and written Chinese or Japanese.
English language skills sufficient for professional performance in international organisations.
3. The Study Board has developed a competency profile, which describes the expected learning outcomes of this degree programme. It is available on the programme page on CBS’ website.
4. IBA emphasises five academic fields:
Comparative Social and Political Analysis
Organisation in an Asian political and economic context
Chinese or Japanese language studies
(2) All courses, except those in Chinese and Japanese language sections of the programme, are taught exclusively in English. The goal is to ensure that students achieve a level of verbal proficiency and logical competence in compliance with professional career obligations.
(3) The teaching in each of the respective academic disciplines is integrated as much as possible. The integration depends on course instructors actively cross-referencing course teaching to other fields and co-ordinating when developing courses. An overview of all courses and their integration resides with the IBA Study Board. This board is composed of an equal number of student representatives and faculty, with administrative staff and the academic counsellor as observers.
(4) Teaching methods vary by course, topic and educational intent. Lectures, class discussions, group exercises, case analyses, individual tutoring, supervision and project assignments represent the range of pedagogical approaches used in International Business in Asia.
(5) The emphasis on International Business and Economics aims to provide students with a platform in business economics. This platform is comprised of the tools and models that facilitate economic understanding of a business enterprise or organisation.
This academic discipline is part of the subject of economics, with a particular focus on the international dimensions of markets and market analysis.
The core courses cover topics within:
Asian economic organisation and competitiveness
(6) Comparative Social and Political Analysis imparts an understanding of the development and nature of different societies as well as a firm theoretical background for the analysis of different economical, political, social and cultural traditions.
Teaching in this academic discipline includes topics such as economics, industrial relations, political science and sociology. Students are given an introduction to the fundamental methods and theoretical approaches of these disciplines, which enables them to apply what they have learned when faced with concrete problems – particularly those of a comparative and international character.
Course topics focus upon industrialised, market-based economies and societies with special interest in Asian companies, Asian economic approaches and Asian societies. Core fields include:
Comparative cultural and social analysis
International political economics and international organisations
Business, economy and society in Asia
(7) Organisation and communication is an academic field that provides students with knowledge and practice about the nature of contemporary technologically advanced modes of information exchange and theoretical models of organisation.
Teaching in this discipline is aimed at providing the students with an action-oriented competence in relation to communicating with different population groups and functional areas within organisations and understanding the organisational practices in relations to doing business in Asia.
Core courses in organisation focus on:
Intercultural organisation
General organisation and communication theory and the diffusion of information
Internal and external communication in a company or organisation
(8) The research method courses aim to give students a thorough introduction to quantitative, qualitative and social science methods for economic and business research purposes. This component reinforces the aim of the overall programme with an explicit integration of various academic disciplines. Students are introduced to statistical skills in business analysis.
Students are expected to acquire competence in the appropriate selection and application of a variety of theoretical approaches and quantitative and comparative research methods when confronted with research issues in other courses and in the project work.
The courses include a study of:
Interdisciplinary business research
The nature of social science, analysis, and research methods
(9) Language study at the IBA programme trains the student to read, write, speak and understand either Chinese or Japanese. This means that the student will learn to conduct a conversation in modern Mandarin Chinese or Japanese, read and understand a modern text without too much difficulty, and write with minimal effort. An additional level of carefully integrated language training in the 3rd year provides IBA students with fair knowledge regarding business language. As language is related to society and culture, a related goal is to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of Asian society and culture.
Key Asian language skills to be acquired include:
A practical ability to use the language
Reading and writing skills, including word processing in Chinese or Japanese
Oral skills, including presentation techniques
Specialized competence for business ends
Elective courses, exchange and internship
(10) In addition to the compulsory courses, the student must complete elective courses equivalent to 30 ECTS before graduation. The electives’ syllabi must be relevant to the IBA profile and cannot overlap with the syllabi of compulsory courses.
(11) Electives must be within the specific field and requirements of:
Minimum 15 ECTS within Business Administration
Maximum 15 ECTS Programme related (cf. IBA's competency profile) free electives
(12) The electives' semester may also be spent studying abroad or participating in an internship programme with a company as a supplement to electives. The student can choose between internships counting for 7.5 ECTS or 15 ECTS.
Internship 7.5 ECTS 7.5
Internship 15 ECTS 15
(13) The Study Board’s detailed rules and guidelines on elective courses and internship programmes, available on my.cbs.dk, must be observed.
(14) All elective courses must be pre-approved by the IBA Study Board. The Study Board will upload a positive list on my.cbs.dk with the pre-approved elective courses at CBS.
(15) The teaching methods at the IBA programme covers a combination of online and face-to-face teaching with a combination of lectures, exercises, workshops, tutorials, case studies, group work, and class discussions.
