Imagine yourself studying at a “Triple Crown” accredited business school located in one of the happiest countries in the world. You can turn that dream into a reality when you study abroad at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Denmark! Students at CBS will have the opportunity to: - Attend class on an architecturally attractive campus located in the capital of Denmark
- Hit the ground running with the help of CBS’s Buddy Program for Exchange Students
- Immerse yourself in the Scandinavian way of life
University: Established in 1917, Copenhagen Business School has grown to be the second largest business school in Europe. CBS’s development initiatives are based on the principles to be daring and innovative in a changing society and to educate graduates who will ensure value creation for the global society. CBS hosts over 1,000 exchange students every year. Location: Copenhagen's copper-roofed houses mix with world-renowned architecture and design reflecting both its medieval origin and its current status as a modern European metropolis. With over 800 years of history, Copenhagen brings together the financial, cultural, musical, and scientific worlds.. This modern capital city is considered one of the healthiest in the world - half of all commuters bike to work or school each day. In fact, Copenhagen is known as “the city of bikes” with approximately 250 miles of bike paths to take advantage of.

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.

| Housing |
| 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.
