Contact information: Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3 2000 Frederiksberg Denmark Tel: +45 38 15 38 15 Web site: www.cbs.dk | Copenhagen Business School (CBS), having 14,800 students and a permanent staff of 860, is the largest business school in NorthernEurope. CBS is a learning university, committed to being an attractive, modern centre of research and education with an international orientation, thus contributing to Danish society and its business sector. It offers Denmark's most comprehensive range of university degrees in economics and business administration, modern languages for business and communication. It houses two faculties: The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, and the Faculty of Languages, Communicaion and Cultural Studies, at which students can take Bachelor, Master, and PhD degrees. A large part of the teaching takes place in English, and several degrees are studied entirely in English.
The programmes require a high degree of student activity and a major independent effort. There are many demanding group projects, papers and seminars. Teamwork is meant to develop students' interpersonal skills, which are increasingly essential prerequisites of a business career.
CBS strives to be among the best institutions of higher education in Europe, meeting the goals of being a major contributor to value creation in business and society, training graduates who are competitive in the international job market and developing new research-based knowledge in partnership with companies and other organisations.
Founded in 1917, CBS has its centre in the part of Copenhagen called Frederiksberg not far from the centre of the city. CBS considers the Øresund Region as its natural home ground and is, therefore, actively committed to the broad, cross-frontier collaboration with Swedish universities in the Øresund University. CBS has cooperation agreements with more than 280 universities throughout the world and is the Danish member of CEMS (Community of European Management Schools) and a member of PIM (Program in International Management). CBS has been accredited by EQUIS. |
