Build the leadership skills to help organisations navigate change and pursue a more sustainable future—without leaving Ballerup Municipality. The MBA Leadership and Sustainability is offered online by Robert Kennedy College in exclusive partnership with the University of Cumbria. Its ideas and approaches can be applied across industries and internationally.
Earn an internationally recognised British degree
Graduating with a British degree from the University of Cumbria gives you a qualification that is recognised internationally. It can help you communicate your management expertise as you pursue opportunities beyond Denmark.
The programme brings leadership and sustainability together, helping you consider how strategic decisions affect organisations, people and the wider world.
Complete your MBA 100% online in as little as one year
You can study the programme entirely online, making it possible to work towards your MBA while continuing to live and work in Ballerup Municipality. There is no need to relocate to pursue the degree.
The programme can be completed in as little as one year. That gives ambitious professionals a way to build on their experience and move towards their next goal without putting everything else on hold.
Study on a schedule that works for you
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times or dates. You can engage with your studies when they fit around your professional and personal commitments.
Whether your best study time is early in the morning or after work, this flexibility helps you establish a routine you can sustain. It also lets you make progress during busy periods without having to attend scheduled online sessions.
Take your studies wherever life takes you
Although you can begin each study day in Ballerup Municipality, your learning need not stay there. You can study from anywhere in the world, including while travelling for work or exploring somewhere new.
Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. That means a journey or a period without an internet connection can still become an opportunity to learn.
Apply ideas through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on learning resources as you work through the issues presented to you.
This approach encourages you to focus on understanding ideas and applying them thoughtfully—valuable habits for leaders making decisions in complex environments.
Learn with internationally educated faculty
The programme’s tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.
Their varied academic backgrounds can broaden the perspectives you encounter as you examine leadership and sustainability. You will have the opportunity to learn from educators whose experiences extend across institutions and disciplines.
Join a global learning community
Students from more than 130 countries bring different experiences and perspectives to the learning environment. Studying alongside them can challenge your assumptions and strengthen your ability to collaborate across cultures.
Alumni work for international organisations including DHL, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, GM, Louis Vuitton, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the breadth of sectors in which graduates of the wider learning community have built careers.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments.
With a clear payment schedule, you can focus on choosing a study path that fits your ambitions as well as your budget.
Connect your ambitions with opportunities around Ballerup
