Handelseksamen

Handelseksamen is a term often used in Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark, to refer to a type of examination or course of study related to commerce, business, or economics. It typically signifies a formal assessment of knowledge and skills acquired in a business-related field. The specific content and structure of a handelseksamen can vary significantly depending on the educational institution and the level of study. It might encompass subjects such as accounting, marketing, finance, management, or international trade. These examinations are often a prerequisite for further education in business schools or for entry into certain professional careers. The term itself, "handel," translates to "trade" or "commerce," and "eksamen" means "examination." Therefore, handelseksamen literally translates to a "commerce examination." It can be found at different educational levels, from high school vocational programs to university-level degrees. The purpose is to ensure students have a foundational understanding of commercial principles and practices.
