Overview

EK - Erhvervsakademi København (Business Academy Copenhagen) is a state-funded self-governing higher education institution and Denmark's largest business academy. It was formed on 1 July 2025 through the merger of Copenhagen Business Academy (Cphbusiness), founded in 2009, and KEA – Copenhagen School of Design and Technology. EK is one of seven Danish Business Academies, equivalent to Universities of Applied Sciences internationally. The institution offers full-time and part-time higher education programmes at short cycle (academy profession degree) and first cycle (professional bachelor) level across fields including economics and finance, sales and marketing, IT and multimedia, leadership, design and entrepreneurship, construction, laboratory and environmental technology, logistics, service and hospitality, and sustainability and energy. Campuses are located in Copenhagen (main campus at Nansensgade 19), Lyngby, Hillerød and Rønne. Teaching is conducted in Danish, in close collaboration with Danish and international businesses. Continuing education (akademi- and diplomuddannelser) is also offered on a part-time basis. Institutional accreditation was granted positively by the Danish Accreditation Council in June 2020.
