The courses are difficult and demanding, and so are the exams. This requires that you are committed to your studies, but also that you make yourself reflect on the balance between studying, working and your social life.

It is definitely a great challenge to study such a demanding language as Mandarin, but on the other hand, mastering it means having acquired a valuable skill which is still not very common among European countries.

One of the quarter structure's advantages is that you only have to focus on two courses at a time and you start on something new after the 7 weeks, which can feel, very rewarding and refreshing.

At IB you find yourself along students with a high level of ambition and an outstanding dedication towards the studies but also other activities like start-up companies, student jobs, spots etc.

The most challenging aspect of Asian studies programme is time management. On one hand, you have a full course load of economics and sociology, but you also have to learn a new language.

I have experienced a very supportive study environment at CBS. BLC students have diverse cultural backgrounds, are social and help each other out. This is exactly what I hoped for when applying to CBS.

I believe ASP is appealing since it does combine either Japanese or Chinese with business, where you learn about both the Asian economy but also general business theories, models and concepts.

The programme allows you to try to imagine, take a look at, and work with real life cases to put your learned theories into practice.

I am really happy to be a student at BLC. I believe the programme allows for an incredible diversity between students with huge differences in culture, subculture and even nationality.

I did not know a single person in Copenhagen, before I started at CBS. Luckily, it is the best environment for meeting new people, both through your study programme but also through the student organisations.

What I find really valuable about the BSc SOC programme, is the fact that it requires us to challenge our minds and go beyond our knowledge.

The best about ASP is the diversity and the good atmosphere. We are a relatively small programme. Therefore it was from the beginning easy to get to know each other and create an open and nice feeling amongst us.

So far, I have found International Business at CBS to be a great fit for me. The subjects have given me the opportunity to dive into lots of theories that can provide insights into, why consumers, firms, and politicians act

When I met my new peers during the Intro Days I thought: “wow I am among many people who have the same interests”. I guess that is what makes IBP and me a good match.

The most exciting thing about IM is the broad scope that the programme has and the fact that the research field is still relatively new.

The most exciting this about BLC is definitely the mix of humanities and social sciences. I was always more inclined towards the humanities in my previous studies, so it was interesting to learn more about social sciences.

I am a down-to-earth individual, and I was, in that regard, a little nervous that I would have a hard time fitting in at IB. However, my concerns were all shut down, and I am now thoroughly enjoying life at IB and at CBS.

BSc. Soc has a very communal atmosphere, possibly because we are a relatively small cohort. My experience is that my fellow students are very helpful and that we all work together in a supportive manner.

IBP was the right choice for me, since I all the way through my upper secondary knew that I wanted to study social science, but at the same time wanted to combine it with something more economic in order to give the educatio

The competitive and ambitious study environment has been a motivation that made me strive for improvement.

SEM offers a beautiful mixture of people from all over the world, which helps create an awesome and unique atmosphere.

There is no way of knowing if you have chosen the right programme. Everyone will feel stressed at some point thinking; “maybe this is not right for me”

The most exciting, and at the same time also the most challenging part of the programme, is how closely linked to the shipping world the curriculum is.

I found that the fun of the intro-weeks, and the excitement learning about something you actually find interesting made the experience much easier than I expected it to be

Make use of all the organizations that are available at CBS campus. You don’t only make new friends but also learn a lot while doing so.

Even if IB consists of a lot of grade-hungry students, they definitely also know how to party in the intro-weeks and at our burn-out parties after each quarter exams.

The hardest thing for me to overcome when I started at CBS was probably having to rely on other people to understand the entire curriculum. If you manage to do this singlehandedly, I applaud you.

What I really like about BSc SEM is the combination of courses and that you are given proper tools to overcome certain problems, thus I feel that the academic part makes great sense.

At BLC the social life has been very important to me. In general there is a lot of solidarity and unity at BLC, between new and older students.

The most exciting thing about my program I think is the good balance of student life and social life. We have a lot of activities and our study loads are very manageable.

What I like most about SeM is that it is so diverse. We have had subjects in various areas over the years, some more exciting than others.

An aspect which I like in particular is the international focus of the programme – it encompasses everything from studying in English and having the opportunity to go on exchange or do an internship, to studying with student

The reason why I landed on studying IB was that it was very wide and there are numerous opportunities both during the study and afterwards.

Getting all the way to Copenhagen and starting a new life was a challenge, but I’m glad I made it!

After months of adaptations, cycling to school, burdening my schedule with readings, learning Danish, being engaged in so many activities and trying to find a decent student-job, I finally had time to breathe.

IB’s motto is "work hard, play hard". Though it may sound like a cliché, then I find that it perfectly describes what it is like to be an IB student. Being enrolled as an IB student is intense and rewarding.

There are a lot of opportunities to engage and my experience is that IBP is one of the most social programs at CBS. People are very engaged and different, which means there is room for everyone.

IB was definitely the right programme for me. However, I also believe that there can be more than just one right programme, and as such it might not necessarily have ended up badly if I had chosen otherwise.

Spanish was really difficult for me. I only just studied Spanish a year before starting at BLC, and I was shocked by the academic level of the Spanish classes.

I found the advanced English language at bit overwhelming at first, but you very quickly get used to it and you learn an enormous amount during those first weeks.

One of the best things about IB is that you study together with a very diverse bunch of people, who have done all sorts of things and accomplishments prior or during the programme. This is a great source of motivation.

I found it very freeing and reassuring to suddenly be studying with so many other dedicated young people, which I have sometimes been missing earlier.

The quality of the professors’ and exercise teachers’ teaching vary from quarters to quarters. However, the bright students in IB can complement the, from time to time, lack of quality.

For me, the most challenging thing has been the fact that I want to achieve high marks. I haven’t found it hard to pass any subjects, but I have had a harder time achieving top grades than in upper secondary.

The most exciting aspect of BLC is definitely the interdisciplinary nature of the program with a combination of economics and social sciences. At the same time, this was also the most challenging part of the program.

Don't stress out about how other people are doing things - try instead to figure out what works for you.

Is IB the right programme for me? Definitely! I slowly discover my strongest competencies and interests in the economic world.
