Choosing the right degree: With a scandinavian limit

Hey people I need some advice on this one.

I’m in the following situation to soon graduate from my school and the next step is attending a Bachelor degree here in Denmark where I live and I have a hard time choosing and figuring out which degree will fit my plans of the future best.

My goal at the moment is either getting just a bachelor or both a bachelor and a masters degree, and thereafter going to an investment bank and then swift to a hedge fund a few years later or just going directly to the HF. But choosing the right bachelor is vital due to my geographical limitations. The dream-scenario would be obtaining a bachelor and thereafter going directly to a HF in for instance London. But as mentioned I will have a hard time education-wise.

So I have the following possibilities from the following universities here in Denmark:

Copenhagen Business School

  • Business administration and service management
  • International business ( with one semester of exchange/academic internship)
  • International shipping and trade

Programs taught in danish:

  • Economics and business administration
  • Economics and business administration (with mathematics at A instead of B)

University of Copenhagen

I hope you can give me both some professional and international perspective on this “issue” and thank you.

Best regards

The lost Dane ;)

Just for the record: The masters degrees isn’t that big of an issue and it would probably be a good idea to obtain right after the bachelor, but the danish government is financing a quite substantial part of it so it would be possible to get for instance a masters degree in finance at LSE. But gagging the right bachelor will give me better possibilities in the end.
