‘The ranking confirms that NHH Norwegian School of Economics have world-class EMBA specialisations. As always, we have ambitions to climb higher on the list, and we will continue our work to strengthen our position,’ says Rector Øystein Thøgersen.

Customised specialisations

Three of NHH's specialisations are included in this year's ranking: specialisation in Strategic Management, specialisation in Management Control and specialisation in Seafood Management.

The latter is most known outside of Norway’s boarders and has an international range. Steffen Juranek is the Programme Coordinator:

‘The specialisation is tailor-made for the industry. Bergen lies in the heartland of salmon farming which allows us to combine our international ambitions with our advantage of location. In addition to an attractive program, we offer a unique intellectual exchange among the international participants.’
