Single course students
WHICH courses CAN YOU APPLY FOR?
Each semester, CBS offers a wide range of single courses at both undergraduate and graduate level. All single courses are also offered as electives to full-time students on CBS' undergraduate and graduate programmes, as well as to guest or credit transfer students from other universities. This means that you will be studying with students from both CBS's bachelor or graduate programmes as well as other credit transfer students and single course students.
You will find the biggest selection of courses in the autumn semester, when fulltime CBS students are also taking their electives.
Here you can find a list of all offered courses at bachelor level and graduate level:
As a single course student, you also have the opportunity to apply for a so-called minor, which is an complete package of courses within a particular academic field.
