COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
Copenhagen was founded more than 800 years ago and combines the
old-world charm of its medieval origins with the vibrant life of a
modern European metropolis. A city of 1.5 million people, it is human in
scale and lively in atmosphere. A network of car-free pedestrian zones
and plazas inside the historical ramparts creates a livable downtown
area where good cinemas, discos and cafés are crowded with friendly
people to meet. Copenhagen is a safe city with a low crime rate. Trains
and buses are safe and clean, and buses operate around the clock.
CBS is located in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen close to
everything cultural and exciting: the new town centre of Frederiksberg,
the Copenhagen Metro, the new Frederiksberg high school, the central
library and much more. This neighborhood is rapidly becoming the heart
of the Copenhagen metropolitan area. CBS is experiencing a lot of growth
and expansion these days and the school is regarded as an essential part
of the Frederiksberg environment.

In keeping with international
orientation, several full degree programs at CBS are taught entirely in

The cooperation
agreement with CBS and UWP allows you to enroll in one
course taught at the University of Copenhagen. The University of
Copenhagen offers a wide range of courses in English every semester. The
courses are part of the regular curriculum and are open to both Danish
and foreign students enrolled at the University of Copenhagen.
Please note that most departments at the University of Copenhagen plan
the curriculum for the coming semester just before the end of the
previous semester. The full list of courses offered in English will,
therefore, not be available until a few weeks before the semester
starts. Students are advised to look at the courses offered in English
for the current semester or the previous semester in order to make a
preliminary plan for their studies in Copenhagen.
Once you have determined
the course you would like to take, contact
INT-admission@adm.ku.dk, and explain your background as an exchange
student at CBS, and to request to be signed up for the course.
You will need to scan and attach your acceptance letter from CBS in
order to prove that you are a CBS exchange student. Then, if they
need further confirmation, they will contact CBS's International Office.
