Unfortunately, it is not possible to have credits transferred and be exempt from attending a course. A substantial part of the work undertaken during the 12 months is undertaken in groups. Not only will this be disruptive for this work, but that the participant may not be fully integrated in the class and therefore not benefit fully from the year.

If you are interested, the MBA Programme will, in cooperation with the International Office at CBS, find accommodation for you. It will typically be a room in a flat, which is shared between two-four participants from the MBA Programme. We have estimated that the housing costs will amount to around DKK 60,000 (approximately the equivalent of EURO 8,000 and USD 12,810) for the year. Please see the Tuition Fees & Expenses section of this website.

In the Progam's Application Form you are kindly requested to indicate, if you would like CBS' assistance in finding accommodation. We will enclose further information with your letter of confirmation.

Since the change of government in 2002, the Danish immigration laws have been tightened considerably. It is therefore no longer possible for a foreign national, originating from a country outside the EU and Nordic countries, participating in a course of only one year duration, to bring his or her spouse, as visas are no longer automatically issued. The spouse will now have to apply for a visa independently. For further information we suggest that you visit the Danish Immigration Service website.

It is practically impossible to work while doing your MBA. The workload is high and participants will spend on average 70 hours per week on attending classes, group work, preparation, project work etc. Participants, who have entered the country on a student visa, are allowed to work 15 hours per week, but will need to equire the school's permission to work to ensure that the work does not affect the progress of their MBA.

Denmark has one of the best post-MBA visa systems with students eligible to apply for a points-based Green Card (a 3-year work and residence permit.)
