Students and internships

Students are an essential part of our long-term talent strategy and will only expand further in the years to come. To sustain the importance of our Student Analysts, we have implemented a Student Board. Our Student Board supports our Student Analysts to grow as individuals and academically through initiatives such as their mentor program, case competition, inspirational talks and other fun social events throughout the year.

I wanted to do my internship here because I was already familiar with the company and the people who work here, and the support I got from Abacus made the process and ability to gain access really easy. I saw it as an opportunity to do something which I otherwise would not have been able to at another company.”

Copenhagen Business School

“Writing our project in collaboration with Abacus was a great way to bridge the theory taught in university with the realities faced by the industry. Through our initial talks with Abacus, we agreed on a real business problem that was relevant to both Abacus and our research area and arranged interviews with all relevant Abacus stakeholders. Throughout the project, we were met with genuine interest and enthusiasm about both the project and our findings from all Abacus stakeholders”.

Jonas Brock-HanashIT University of Copenhagen

“In 2021, I had the pleasure of writing my master’s thesis in collaboration with Abacus while also being employed as a Student Analyst in Business Development. The process allowed me to get a lot of primary data, learn more about a company I was already extremely curious about as well as broaden my network internally in the company. All Abacus employees I reached out to make themselves available immediately upon request for interviews or other types of data collection. This made it very educational, interesting and, not to say the least, a fun experience to write with and about Abacus!.”

Sarah RitzCopenhagen Business School

“We knew Abacus was a great opportunity because there are a lot of things happening all the time, so there is a lot to write about. We even ended up receiving the award for ‘Best Bachelor Project of the Year’. I was especially excited to be offered a student position afterward, as I was really drawn by the young and entrepreneurial environment”.

Student Board

Student workers are integral to the Abacus Medicine Group and are present in almost all departments throughout the entire organization. Students are a part of our culture and always have been.

To highlight the importance of students in the Abacus Medicine Group and to facilitate their continuous personal as well as professional development, our internal Student Board was launched; a cross-departmental group of students from the entire organisation. The board is selected on an annual basis.

The aim of the board is to improve the social fabric of our Student Analysts through various events, workshops, and other initiatives. They represent the voice of our Student Analysts and foster both personal and professional development for our students. To do that, the board organises various social events, such as breakfast-talks and quizzes. They also host the annual internal case competition and the Student Mentorship Programme.

The Abacus Medicine Group is proud to be an official Career Partner of Copenhagen Business School. Currently, 40% of our Student Analysts in Denmark are studying at CBS.
