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

Copenhagen is the center for music and culture, and is home to some of 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.

Danish universities do not own student-housing facilities, and student residences are not connected to the university. The CBS housing department has 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. Find out more about housing at CBS.
