Participate in the intro programme: The primary purpose of the intro programme is to facilitate and initiate a good social environment amongst the new students. Many students who do not participate in the intro period have a difficult time finding new friends in the programme compared to the students who did participate.

Don’t think about the expectations of others but choose what you think you’ll like the most. Both in regards of academic content but also what kind of students apply for that specific course. I liked both the subjects and the international aspect of International Business but was also highly motivated by the thought of talented and ambitious pe ...

Try to participate in all the social events and be open. Although you may end up falling in love with the programme itself, it really helps to have an active social life at CBS as well, this is especially important if you are new to Copenhagen

Think twice if your education is suitable for your future plan

What is it that you REALLY want? Your choice of studies is not about what sounds the best or what your family and friends think you should do. Imagine that in ten years, you will get paid for your joy of going to work and no longer on an hourly basis. Where would you then “earn” the most? If that is not from an IB related career, then this is n ...

Do not choose a study programme just because you can or because it is expected of you. Choose a study programme that you find exciting and interesting. A study programme where you want to learn and acquire new knowledge about the topic.

Choosing
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”. If this happens do not panic, have a chat with your mentors, your fellow students and your friends to find out why you are having these feelings and remember there is no shame i ...

Follow your own interest and not the flow

Take time to choose a study program that you are willing to invest a lot of energy in. Uni life is demanding, and you are doing yourself a favor if you chose an area of study that you are passionate about

One of my advices for the coming students, or students who are about to look into different programs, is that you need to accept that not all your subjects are going to be as interesting as your thought. There are some subjects that you just need to have had in order for you to learn other things.

Always go with your guts feeling. Deep down you might already know what to choose.

Choose education based on your interests, and not on the universities reputation, at the end it doesn’t matter if it's CBS or KU, as long as you're interested in your study subjects

Look in to your many different educational choices and study them thoroughly before making your final decision. Attending the open days at CBS helped me, but there are many other ways to find information as well. (e.g. CBS’ website, brochures, former students, etc.)

Participate in the intro program and engage in as many activities as possible. The purpose of the intro weeks is to aid in developing social ties within the course and getting to know the people who you will be spending the next 3 years with. (Also, it is GREAT fun)

Attend the intro program (both home and away). I am afraid that the students who do not attend might struggle socially. One should not underestimate the importance of a highly social intro period. Although it is important to step out of one’s comfortzone, do not feel pressured to do things that make you severly uncomfortable.

Engage socially:
Both IB and CBS have countless opportunities to engage socially and you simply can survive university with out others.

You are not alone! Others most likely have similar problems to yours, so do not hesitate to ask for help.

As of advice for choosing the right programme for you, I would advise you to pursue something you’re genuinely interested in, as you will be using a substantial amount of time on the studies, and lay the foundation for a future career.

An important part of the concept is that potential students can contact you if they have a question in an area which you happen to know a lot about.

My first advice is in regard to choosing your university/program. Look at the hidden things that draw your interest or you are picky about. I have always had a comment on service in general and I have always been the type of guys who would take a worse product just because of the nicer service and thus studying Service Management is a match for me! ...

Structure, prioritize and find your right balance. Being a good student, is not necessarily equal to spending 14 hours a day buried in your books. Do not underestimate the power of time-management. Try different ways of working, and go with what works best for you.

I would advice you to do proper research before choosing a bachelor’s programme. According to me, you should define your academic interests and use these as a base when choosing a bachelor’s programme.

Decide what is important for you during your studies. It can be that you want to be involved in all organizations and social events, party a lot, have an amazing study job, or just take it easy and enjoy student life etc. Whatever it is which is important to you you can align your expectations for yourself and then if others are doing different thi ...

This program may be right for you if you are self-disciplined and you can stay persistent with learning Chinese even in the moments when it feels like there is no progress or the progress is very slow. Of course, it is not a rule, but many students at some point experience such a language learning crisis. Embrace it as a part of the whole process f ...
