This MBA Careers Workshop is delivered in partnership with Copenhagen Business School

In this workshop, we explore evolutions in today’s workplace and ask how can you navigate change to position yourself for success?

Speaking with Louise Hegelund Waaben, MBA careers manager at Copenhagen Business School, we explore the various ways the MBA is designed to accelerate students’ career growth, while also revealing why this is important in today’s uncertain business landscape.

We also hear from Helgi Thorsteinsson, CBS MBA alum from the class of 2025 now working as an account manager at Expedia Group, about how studying an MBA has helped him unlock new opportunities and accelerate his career.

Andrew Mellor, MBA admissions manager at CBS also joins us to discuss key features of the MBA experience, including: a curriculum covering cutting-edge business concepts, opportunities to gain practical experience, extensive career support and resources, and a focus on transferable skills and leadership development.

Finally, we host a live Q&A where the audience get the chance to have their key questions answered by our panellists.
