Programmes with international perspectives
CBS is international in many ways. There are programmes fully taught in English, fully in Danish, and even programmes where you focus on a third language. Regardless of what language you are studying in, you can be sure that your programme will have an international outlook on the topics you learn about.
At MSc in Digital Business, you will look at how digital transformations affect not only a company but also how they affect society on a global level. At HA(jur.), you are taught how globalisation affects the way companies can do business. At BSc Shipping, you are provided with an understanding of the context and strategies of the global shipping industry. At HA(fil.), you learn about how changes in the global market increase the complexities and challenges within a firm.
At CBS, your teaching is based on the newest research. Research is almost always conducted in English which means, you will be working with journals, books and other teaching material in English, even if your programme is taught in Danish.
The international student life
Students from all programmes and backgrounds join one or more than the 100 + different student organisations found at CBS. Engaging in an active student life at CBS is an easy way to increase your international network.
