My name is Björn Langfeldt and I am from Kiel, in the Northern part of Germany. After graduating high school and after one year during which I worked as a caretaker in an old people’s home, I moved abroad – across the near border to Denmark. I began my undergraduate studies in Denmark and then moved to the North of Norway to finish my Bachelor’s degree there. I am currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Bergen at the Norwegian School of Economics, as a part of which I am taking a second degree – the CEMS Master in Management.
Norwegian School of Economics and Michael Smurfit Business School University College Dublin
Since September 2016
As a part of my Master degree at the Norwegian School of Economics, I decided to take an additional Master degree in International Management. In that context, I spent one semester abroad in Dublin and got a lot of further practical insights.
My major in this master degree is Marketing and Brand Management, with the minor being my additional CEMS degree in International Management
Details and Extracurriculars
Active as a teaching assistant for Norwegian students looking to study the German language, economy and politics
Member in the student society 'Grafisk', where I could develop my skills in graphical design, as well as the work with Adobe's Creative Suite. As this involved the work on creating the school's newspaper it taught a lot about coordination and organisation, especially in communication with other societies at the school.
In order to complete my Bachelor degree, I spent one year in the North of Norway, at the University College Harstad, in addition to the first two years of my undergraduate in Randers, Denmark.
