Moving to Denmark

About coming to Denmark

When thinking of or preparing for a relocation to Denmark there are a lot of details you need to consider. You may need to apply for a residence permit, figure out what your net salary may be, investigate health insurance possibilities and clarify possibilities for accompanying spouse and children. Here we hope to supply you with some of the overall information you may find useful.

International community

CBS has a very large and active international community as about 40 percent of our faculty staff members are from other countries. Our international staff come together in the CBS International Club which has been around for approximately 20 years and has members from different countries, including Denmark. Originally a grass root organization the club was formed and run by some of the university’s dedicated international staff members.

International Club provides international staff members of all nationalities with an opportunity to meet in an informal setting to share and discuss their experiences with living and working in Denmark. International Club dinners are arranged by members themselves on a regular basis. HR International Support supports the International Club by arranging social and cultural events where spouses and families are welcome. The events span from visits and tours of historical or cultural sites in Copenhagen to the very popular annual Christmas Lunch in December. The International Club is also a cross cultural experience; you can learn not only about Danish culture and traditions, but also the culture and tradition of many other countries.

All new international staff members are invited to be a part of the CBS International Club.
