At CBS the teaching and learning processes in and outside the lecture halls differ from business schools in other countries and students must be prepared to take part in project group work. The purpose of this learning process is to develop and consolidate the students’ team working skills and their ability to function in groups, as well as their ability to form critical and independent opinions. Another aspect of the CBS teaching philosophy is to encourage students to take frequent and active part in class discussions on any given subject. This also means that the students should be prepared to present case studies to their fellow students.

Copenhagen is the center for music and culture, and is home to the happiest people in the world. Locals and tourists fill sidewalk cafes, walk the winding streets of old city center, and take boat rides along the canal. The city is also known for its innovative, modern design and architecture and home to prominent Danish designers. From world-renowned museums and castles to amusement parks and royal palaces, you are guaranteed to leave Copenhagen a little happier than when you arrived.

Danish universities do not own student-housing facilities, and student residences are not connected to the university. Housing in Copenhagen is very difficult to find and can be expensive - particularly in the fall semester when the demand for housing outstrips the supply. The CBS housing department does have access to eight student residences or dorms that give priority to international exchange students and can help you find accommodation during your semester abroad. During the fall semester the CBS housing department supplements the available accommodation with private housing. Please be aware that unless otherwise noted under the specific residence hall, you will not be living with Danish students but instead with other international students.
