To help prospective students, CBS recently held an open day event with all its undergrad and graduate programs represented, ready to answer questions and give out information. At the IB stand was first year student Mads Wadstrøm Christensen who answered some questions about the thoughts and worries of future students.

What are the typical questions prospective students ask you?

"Often they are worried about whether or not the workload is too heavy or the academic level too high. There is more work at a higher level than they're used to from high school, but that's quite normal as you move up to a higher level of education. So although it is more than before, it's not too much. It's just a matter of adjustment."

What kind of people is interested in studying International business?

"All kinds of people are showing interest in the IB program. It's hard to say which type finds the course attractive but they all have some sort of interest in the business world. Some like the numbers and others might find the psychology of business interesting. For those who don't know which area they like the most I tell them that the IB program is a great place to find out.

Why do you recommend prospective students to choose the IB program?

"For starters, the IB program has a very balanced curriculum that takes you around the many different aspects of business. And just as important as the academic level we have a great social environment. There's the IB football team, Third world development projects and a committee dedicated to creating social events for the students. I advise the people interested in applying for this course not to worry too much about whether or not they can handle the course, but to just go ahead and do it if it looks interesting to them. I'm sure they'll find it as rewarding as I have along with the rest of the students in the program!
