Key Summary
Introduction
It is a time of transition in the business community with increasing globalization, sustainability efforts, and digitalization on the agenda. To act and contribute to tomorrow's emerging business community, skills related to strategy, organizational change, and leadership are emphasized. These topics are in focus of this Program, which gives students relevant knowledge, skills, and competencies for the future.
The Human Side of The Organisation
The MSc Program in Strategy, Organisation, and Leadership (SOL) is a generalist degree Program that opens the door to a variety of jobs. The Program emphasizes a holistic and cross-functional approach to organizations. The underlying assumption behind everything we teach our students is that humans are the biggest assets of any organization and that they lay the foundation for its success. We use classic as well as state-of-the-art research to convey knowledge on how to understand and work with challenges related to corporate and competitive strategy, organizational change, digitalization, human development, performance, and engagement.

Curriculum
All the academic staff at Aarhus BSS pursue research and teaching responsibilities simultaneously, and students can thus expect a Program that is up-to-date with the latest research findings. The first semester consists of three pre-requisite courses in organisational theory, strategic leadership and methodology respectively. Together, these courses lay the foundation for understanding how organizations work and how we can interpret and investigate managerial challenges. The second semester provides students with deeper knowledge related to more specialized fields, which help students to further narrow down their future profile. The courses on the second semester cover corporate and competitive strategy, HRM, organisational change as well as how to organise and lead digitalisation. On the third semester, students can choose between a number of elective courses at AU or abroad, or they may apply for internships in private or public organizations.

Career Opportunities
Graduates from Strategy, Organisation and Leadership are generally employed in a broad range of jobs in larger companies or smaller and medium-sized companies. To begin with, they often work across specialist functions and are hired in positions as graduates, executive assistants, team coordinators, project managers, HR or change facilitators, or consultants. Later in their careers, a large proportion of SOL students progress into different kinds of more specialized and formal managerial positions.
