In August we offer all our new bachelor students an introduction programme, which gives new students a chance to get to know each other, the CBS campus, and the structure and content of the programme. The introduction programme is organised by ASP students and takes place in August.

It is not mandatory to participate in the introduction programme, but we highly recommend that all new students participate in order to receive a broad practical and social introduction to CBS and the Asian Studies Programme.

It is a good idea to arrive in Copenhagen a couple of days prior to the introduction programme. You may find yourself in new and different surroundings, and it is important that you are able to focus on - and enjoy - all the new impressions. You may find a lot of useful information in the Copenhagen Survival Guide , which The International Office publishes every year. The survival guide is included in the information package sent by post to all incoming exchange students.

CBS intranet

Information from the ASP administration, including exams lists and deadlines, are posted on the intranet e-campus. In addition to e-campus each study programme has its own student-teacher forum called CBS Learn. Lecture notes, presentations, semester plans etc. are posted on CBS Learn by students and teachers. Access is only for students and staff affiliated with ASP, and new students will be given access to CBS Learn during the introduction programme in August.

Responsibility Day
The CBS management welcomes the new students to their new life with a day of discussing accountability, ethics and sustainability in relation to student life and business. The day is built around case-based discussions and includes various interactive features such as ethics competitions and voting by text messages.

The day ends with a social event.

First in line
The Programme Secretariat has set aside extra time to deal with the practical issues arising in connection with the beginning of semester. This means that we prioritise servicing new students and ensuring that you’ll get the help and information you need – as soon as possible. This service will cover the first month of the new academic year as this is when a quick response is most urgent.

Mentoring during the first year at CBS
All students will be assigned a mentor, i.e. an experienced student to help with academic issues or study technique. The mentors offer both presentations at class level and individual interviews. You will meet your mentor for the first time during the Introduction Programme.
