GRADUATES/INTERNSHIPS…

UCN PAVES THE WAY FOR YOUR FUTURE JOB

Annamaria Kubovcikova, Slovakia

“After graduating from the UCN T&B Marketing Management programme, I contin-

ued my studies in Aarhus at the Aarhus School of Business (ASB), master programme

in International Economic Consulting.

I enjoyed the time at UCN and have a lot of positive memories. I think it is a great

institution to start an education, especially for a foreigner, like me. I needed the time to

get accustomed to the new environment and new way of learning. So I can see I have

an advantage in my graduate studies over the people who just came to Denmark, be-cause I am used to applying theory in the exams and I am used to the Danish way of

lecturing and studying in general. I appreciated the group work at UCN; it has taught

me how to work in teams. I am working in a voluntary organisation AIESEC as a Vice

President of External Relations.

I am using the marketing and sales background that I got in UCN for accomplishing

my goals in the organisation. Although I have decided to concentrate on economics

more than on marketing, UCN gave me an overview of the business studies, introduc-

tion to cross-cultural and team-based work and last but not least applied approach to

education (which is used in ASB as well)”.

Louise Holk, Denmark

“In 2008, I graduated from the Hospitality, Service & Tourism

Management programme at UCN. During my internship, I

had worked 5 months in Dubai – United Arab Emirates - at the

Ritz Carlton in the Rooms Division (Front offi ce, Guest Relations

and Concierge). As a direct result of my internship experience and knowledge

from Ritz Carlton, I was, after graduation, employed as the Guest Relations Manager

for the NP Hotels (D’Angleterre, FRONT, Hotel Kong Frederik). It was an entirely new

position at the NP Hotels so I started from scratch and was responsible for all the

Guest Relations departments at these hotels. In 2009, I had the chance once again to

move to Dubai and to work as a marketing coordinator for an oil trading company,

International Bunkering Middle East DMCC. Concurrently with my jobs, I’ve been

studying for the diploma in business administration (HD) at CBS, Copenhagen where

I completed the first part in the summer of 2010 and has now started on the second

part, however, virtually as I’m living and working in Dubai”.

Ash Govender, South Africa

“I enrolled at University of Northern Denmark (formerly

NOEA) in September 2005 on the AP Marketing Management

programme and graduated in 2007. I had the opportunity to enroll at Aalborg Uni-

versity to complete a bachelor’s degree (Bsc. Economics and Business Administration).

After completion of the bachelor programme, I continued my studies on the 2 years

Master’s Degree in Msc. International Business Economics which I successfully com-

pleted in August 2010. At present, I am trying to use my newly acquired qualifications

to apply for jobs. I would also like to thank University College of Northen Denmark for

laying the foundation and paving the way for me to achieve academic success”.

Anders Lund Olsen, Denmark

“I’m at the Sport Management BA programme at UCN and at the moment, I’m on my

4 months internship at Dowling College in New York, USA. I’m working

with some very exciting assignments and I have also been given

quite some responsibility. I’m primarily working with communi-

cation and marketing handling different tasks relating to their

website www.dowlingathletics.com such as student assignments

and home matches from various sport branches. And in coopera-

tion with my manager here, I’ve already found a thesis for my final

bachelor project which is also of value to Dowling College. I’ve been

assigned the task to promote our home matches through different

marketing strategies and thus motivate the students to attend these matches. is

has provided me with many exciting tasks and a lot of information for my bachelor

project. All in all, the internship is highly challenging both professionally as well as

personally as I live in a foreign culture and need to create a new network in New York”.

Mykhailo Bevz, Ukraine

”I graduated from the Marketing Management programme at UCNT&B in 2009. After an intensive search for jobs, I started as Account

Manager for Nordsign A/S in Hadsund, DK in November 2010

working with CPM/ERP system analysis and implementation, sales

force automation planning and the company website. At UCN, the

most important courses were, in my opinion, International Market-

ing and Global Communications. As well as Danish law, Economics

and Financial management. IM course gave general marketing framework

giving us an understanding of interconnections of marketing mix in the context of

enterprise strategics and operation activities. GC introduces systematic approach to

dealing with foreign cultures, including the Danish culture. Second most importantaspect of education at UCN is group work, which prepares us to real life situations,

where reports must be delivered on time with limited amount of input information

and conclusions must be made and presented to the company management”.

According to the World Data-

base o Happiness, Denmarktops the list o the world’s hap-

piest countries.

How come? Probably because it

is a rich society characterised bya non-hierarchical structure andopen democratic dialogue. Den-

mark has a very well organisedinrastructure all over the coun-

try, almost no unemployment, a welare system that oers reedoctors, hospitals, education

and a number o other good so-cial benets, very low crime rate

and almost no poor people.

Foreigners living in Denmark

benet rom the Danish welaresystem on an equal ooting withDanes.

Denmark is a happy northernEuropean country. Characteristic

o Denmark’s geography are themany islands, a total o 407.

No point in the country is urtherthan 50 km rom the nearest sea or jord. Mild climate all

year round: warm summers andnot severe winters, moderatedby the eects o the warm Gul

Stream.

The Danish language is spoken

by approx. 6 million people,mainly in Denmark. The modern

Danish alphabet is similar to theEnglish one, with three additio-nal letters: æ, ø, and å. Foreig-

ners say that i you know someEnglish and German, Danish isnot so dicult to read, and by

making an eort you have achance to learn it while studying

at UCN Technology & Business.

Knowing the Danish language

will increase your job opportu-nities, not only in Denmark, but

Christian Hald Madsen, Denmark

”Ater 4 years as an electrician I lacked challenges and I wanted urther education

so when I learned about the Energy echnology programme, it immediately

caught my attention ”. Becoming an energy engineer is about being an expert in

energy optimisation – both when it comes to residential buildings and diferent

types o industrial consumption. My dream is to become an energy advisor at a

contracting company or a large carpenter company. Tere is a major potential

in the existing housing stock as regards energy optimisation so consequently, he

looks very positively on his uture job possibilities.
