History
The school is the result of a merger between educational institutions which were both founded in the 1880s. Copenhagen Business College (Danish: Købmandsskolen i København) was founded by the Association for the Education of Young Businessmen (Danish: Foreningen til Unge Handelsmænds Uddannelse) in 1881. It was from 1901 based in a building designed by Valdemar and Bernhard Ingemann and situated on the corner of Fiolstræde with Nørre Voldgade. The Brockian Business Schooæs (Danish: De Brockske Handelsskoler) were established in 1888 for money left by the businessman Niels Brock in his will. In 1908, Copenhagen Business School took over the Brockian Business School but they continued as separate institutions under one management until their official merger when Copenhagen Business School became a self-owning institution in 1964. The name was changed the Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College in 1991. In 2009-2012, Copenhagen Business Academy was spun off as an independent institution along with vocational programmes that had previously been under Niels Brock, Copenhagen North, Copenhagen Hospitality College and the Academy of Chemical and Biotechnical Science.
