Tietgen was inaugurated in 1954 as the result of a merger of three independent business schools in Odense. Since then, Tietgen has undergone a rapid and comprehensive development.
Today, Tietgen is a modern centre for education and knowledge. In collaboration with large and medium-sized companies across the country, they develop targeted education programmes. They are a part of nationwide education networks and they have a significant position in the fields of management training and continuing education.
Through their close collaboration with other educational institutions – and, most importantly, companies – they ensure access to the most recent knowledge and practice-oriented education. This means that a large part of their students and course participants is either employed – or will be immediately after completing their programmes.
Tietgen is named after Odense-born financier Carl Frederik Tietgen (1829-1901). Known as one of Danish business community’s most innovative, dynamic and internationally oriented leaders.
