Copenhagen Business School
Denmark is among the global leaders in many industries including pharmaceuticals, productions, maritime transport, information technology and communication. Danish businesses and organizations are steeped in a long tradition of cooperation that bridges public and private sectors. Innovative practices, built upon critical theoretical knowledge, are put to the test in this distinctly Scandinavian capital.
Located just minutes from Central Station and the fairytale amusement park of Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen Business School (CBS) provides you with excellent support and services as a Carlson School exchange student. CBS is the second largest business school in all of Europe and enjoys intimate ties with both the local and international business communities. As an internationally-focused university, CBS students gather from around the world to exchange ideas and impressions as they share success in putting their skills into practice.
Copenhagen is known as one of the most charming cities in all of Europe and there is no shortage of ways to pass the time. Spend a day viewing 15th century artwork at the National Gallery or strolling along the Strøget, the world’s longest pedestrian shopping street. Your daily life will be characterized by the once-in-a-lifetime experience of navigating a modern European economic center dashed with Copenhagen’s famed cobbled squares and narrow streets.
You can also learn more about the city and surrounding area by visiting the
Copenhagen Tourism Site.
