Ønsker du at blive klogere på, hvordan geopolitisk uro og teknologiske skift påvirker de globale markeder?

Polit Finance har fornøjelsen af at invitere til en aften med Jeppe Christiansen, adm. Direktør i Maj Invest og en af de mest erfarne profiler i dansk finans.

Med næsten 40 års erfaring og rollen som stifter af Maj Invest, står Jeppe Christiansen i dag i spidsen for en af Danmarks førende kapitalforvaltere. Til dette oplæg giver han et aktuelt makroperspektiv af de faktorer, der præger markederne netop nu: fra geopolitik og nye magtbalancer til inflation og kapitalstrømme.

Mange vil også kende ham fra podcasten, Big Picture, hvor han hver måned analyserer og diskuterer den globale økonomis overordnede drivkræfter. Som cand.polit. vil han desuden give et unikt indblik i sin egen rejse fra studiet til toppen af investeringsbranchen, samt hvorledes hans økonomiske faglighed har formet hans tilgang til markeder og strategi.

Dato: Onsdag d. 22. april
Tid: 16:45
Sted: Bygning 35, lokale 35.01.44, CSS

How do you move from studying Economics at the University of Copenhagen to executive leadership roles in some of Denmark’s most prominent companies?

Having taken that journey himself, Nikolaj Jørgensen detailed his career across strategy, corporate finance, and business development. During the event, he demonstrated how an economist can navigate large organizations and drive transformation, while engaging with the audience through a series of great questions. This provided valuable perspectives on specific career decisions and allowed for meaningful networking between Nikolaj and the participants.

Polit Finance was thrilled to invite economics students to our first event of 2026: an evening at EY-Parthenon’s Copenhagen office. The evening focused on economics in practice. Our participants  gained first-hand insight into how economists apply economic theory and quantitative methods to real-world business and policy decisions. This was later followed by informal conversations with consultants over food and refreshments.

Polit finance had the pleasure to invite students to a career evening where they had a unique opportunity to meet and network with representatives from four exciting companies within economics and finance: Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Planetary Impact Ventures, and PwC

The participants gained insights into each company and learned about the many exciting career opportunities available for economics students. Each company gave a short 15-minute presentation introducing their industry and organization, followed by a brief Q&A session.

The evening concluded with time for networking, allowing participants to ask questions and connect with the company representatives.

Polit Finance was pleased to invite economics students from the University of Copenhagen to an exclusive company visit hosted by Bain & Companyat their Copenhagen office.

Bain & Company welcomed students to a tailored event designed specifically for Economics students from the University of Copenhagen. Participants gained first-hand insight into the consulting profession by working collaboratively on a real-life business case under the guidance of Bain consultants. Following the workshop, the evening concluded with a dinner, providing an excellent opportunity to engage with Bain representatives in an informal setting and to learn more about career paths and life at Bain & Company.

We were elated to have welcomed the fall semester of 2025s first event featuring Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners - a global leader in green energy investments. Since 2012, CIP has raised over €28 billion to finance pioneering projects in offshore wind, solar, biomass, and Power-to-X across Europe, Asia, and North America.

This event gave a unique look behind the numbers at how CIP manages and finances the green transition worldwide, and allowed attendees to discover their exciting student opportunities, including the Student Analyst Programme and Global Development Programme.

As usual Polit Finance provided drinks during and after the session, as well as a free dinner, creating space for continued conversation and networking into the evening.

At this last event for the semester, Polit Finance and Djøf invited Andreas Madum, Head of Global Market Operations at Uber, to speak about his career as an economist working internationally. Andreas shared his personal journey — from PhD student to consultant at BCG and then to a leadership position at one of the world’s fastest-growing tech companies — while also offering practical career advice for aspiring economists

As always, Polit Finance provided complimentary food and beverages, creating a setting for networking and hanging out with your fellow students

The second event consisted of Nordea Investment Banking coming to campus to introduce the students to two departments: Equity Capital Markets (ECM) and Debt Capital Markets (DCM). Each department brought a real-life case that they had worked with in recent years. DCM showed how they had helped DSV finance their acqusition of DB Schenker. ECM explained how they had helped in the listing of Better Collective.

After the presentations, there was plenty of opportunity to network, ask questions and have fun with friends, as Polit Finance had set up beverages and food from Kcal Factory.

For the first event of the semester, we had invited Andreas Steno Larsen about recent macrotrends, and how he expects that this will affect the markets in the months to come. He shared a lot of great insights, which was followed by a lively discussion with big engagement from the audience.

After this, Polit Finance had arranged for beverages and food to be served, allowing the discussion to continue into the evening.

In November, Carlsberg CEO and cand.polit Jacob Aarup-Andersen returned to campus for an inspiring evening with students. He shared his journey from studying economics to leading one of the world’s largest breweries. Jacob told stories from his time at Danske Bank, Goldman Sachs, and various hedge funds, offering lessons on leadership and global strategy.

The event concluded with a lively Q&A, where attendees had the chance to learn more about Jacob’s approach to work and strategy. 

For the second event of the semester, we invited Europe's most valuable company, the world's leading infrastructure investor, the investment branch of AP Møller Mærsk, and a leading M&A investor. For the event the students were presented with 4 different routes that an Economics degree can take you.

After the initial presentations we welcomed people for a lively networking session where students could engage with the companies or their friends while enjoying burgers and beverages.

In April 2024 we had our second event of the month lined up: Joakim Bruchmann took us from the lecture halls on CSS all the way to London on the trading floor of Goldman Sachs. From London next stop was the Y-combinator in Silicon Valley with his new fintech startup Pluto.markets.

Pluto.markets has a mission of disrupting the way we trade with stocks, and Joakim was kind enough to take us with him on the journey, to open our eyes to another direction a Polit degree can take you.

In April 2024 we had teamed up with Kvinder På Polit to invite Anna Lundegaard and Alexandra Nguyen from Kvinder i Finans to our lovely campus.

Kvinder i Finans is a network of women in Private Equita and M&A, and are working to recruit and mention more women to those fields. Anna and Alexandra shared how to build a strong network in finance, and emphasised the importance of networking and mentoring.

In February 2024, we had the pleasure of inviting Tine Lindgreen, Principal at Seed Capital, for a keynote on-campus.

Seed Capital is among Europe's best performing VC-funds. They've invested in companies such as Trustpilot, Lunar and Coinify, who all had an exciting journey. Tine gave an inspiring talk about her way from graduating from the Economics programme at UCPH to VC, meanwhile introducing the 125 economics students to the VC-world.

In November 2023, we hosted our second Career Night featuring presentations from three exciting companies, namely the algorithmic trading company, Alipes; the globally leading consultancy, Bain & Company; and the largest Danish pension fund, PFA.

After 1 hour of presentations, a lively networking session was arranged, where the attendees could either engage with the companies or with friends, while enjoying food and drinks from our sponsors.

In November 2023, we hosted an intimate workshop in partnership with Axcel for a selected number of students.

The session unfolded at Axcel's own facilities, featuring a comprehensive presentation on Axcel's profile as a company and its role in Private Equity.

It was an engaging evening with the opportunity to delve deeper into Axcel as a company and insights into the investment strategies they follow.
