Erhvervsakademi MidtVest is a learning institution with presence in Holstebro and Herning. They focus, as the name suggests, on business studies, preparing young people for a career in business with a focus on internationalisation. How do they do that? They have established agreements with foreign higher education institutions, in close collaboration with several British universities, and mobility programmes with universities across Europe. Moreover, their students engage in internships across the globe (incl. Dubai, USA, Australia, Thailand,...). When you think about it, it is the most logical step, an internship abroad, in a global environment for people who study international business.

MORTEN BLIGAARD-CHRISTENSEN Morten is young and ready to take on the world. Originally from Holstebro, he later moved to Herning to study International Marketing at EAMV MidtVest . He has nothing but positive words about his choice “Both the social and learning environments at EAMV MidtVest are great. I have developed a lot, socially and as a person, but most importantly I acquired knowledge and experience in several subjects”. After finishing his studies in International Marketing, he decided to stay and refine his skills, choosing to study a bachelor in International Sales and Marketing Management. This education runs for three semesters, and Morten is ready to begin his last now, the one reserved for an internship.
You can feel the excitement about this next adventure in his life: living and working in Atlanta for half a year. AN INTERNSHIP ABROAD Together with his friend and study colleague Mathias, Morten secured an internship at the Danish American Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta, Georgia. “This will be a fantastic experience and I am really happy that I will get to understand and live the American culture and way of working. It is time to put in practice everything we learnt at EAMV”. Morten is really excited about his internship, where he will be in charge of tasks related to his studies: organising events, contacting sponsors and making new contacts, as well as other tasks connected to business and marketing.
