A game of three halves
In the busy life of a business student it can at times be hard to combine studies, socialising and keeping your body somewhat intact throughout it all. To achieve this, IB has started its own football team so IB students can get to know each other better and get a bit of exercise.
Practice takes place a modest once a week at the football club B93 in the northern part of Copenhagen. Here the stars of I.B93, as the team has been named, get together to prepare for the weekly Sunday match against local teams in the Copenhagen area. The team is currently playing in series 5, but manager Johan Lawaetz predicts a fast rise to fame and fortune for his football team.
The third half
Besides practice and matches the team holds evening “meetings” where teammates get together to discuss tactics and upcoming opponents over a drink and good food. According to Johan Lawaetz “It is important that they function well together not only as football players but also as individuals if we want to win matches.” And as dedicated as his players are they do their best to get along off, as well as on, the pitch.
The team currently has 23 players from Denmark, Norway and Brazil, but is always on the look out for new talent.

Work hard, play hard
"What I really love about IB is that even though it is a demanding programme, the students have the energy to engage in extracurricular activities and acknowledge that the way to success in life is not entirely through heavy books, but also through friendship and fun," says Nicklas Snekloth, a first year IB student.
IB students rewarded for international engagement
Being a hardworking full-time IB student is not enough. IB undergraduates often look for alternative ways of stimulating their academic interests and often end up taking leadership positions in voluntary student organisations.
An insider’s experiences
First year IB student Emiliya Kaloferova has experienced what it is like moving from Bulgaria to a completely different country, starting at a new school and meeting a lot of new people - all at the same time. Emiliya acknowledges that the special IB mentor program is a great way to help foreign students.
CBS – where student votes count
Every autumn the halls and auditoriums of Copenhagen Business School are busy with study board elections. This is quite an experience for students, especially the new ones.
Probably the best party
Light and laughter filled the air in Dyrehavsbakken north of Copenhagen in the middle of the night on May 22nd. Deep in the green and idyllic forest, a small and rustic cottage called "Kongekilden" (Spring of Kings) hosted the annual IB Gala 2009
