Overview
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.

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
Excursions
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.
Housing
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.
