Copenhagen Business School (CBS)

With more than 15,000 students and 1,000 staff members, Copenhagen Business School is today amongst the largest business schools in Northern Europe and one of the eight universities in Denmark. Dating back to 1917, the many years of experience within the work of research, degree programmes and networks place CBS as an active and innovative participator in the global market. CBS offers a comprehensive range of university degrees (Bachelor, Master, and PhD) in business economics and modern languages for international business communication. More than twenty of the programmes are taught in English. In addition to this, a wide range of part-time programmes and courses is offered, targeted at the business sector. Using traditional fields within business economics and languages as a starting point, CBS gives very high priority to cross-disciplinary and problem-orientated approaches. Therefore, sociology, psychology, anthropology, politology, law, philosophy and intercultural understanding are also important areas in CBS' academic profile.

Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME)

The mission of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative is to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally.
The PRME are inspired by internationally accepted values such as the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. They seek to establish a process of continuous improvement among institutions of management education in order to develop a new generation of business leaders capable of managing the complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century.
In the current academic environment, corporate responsibility and sustainability have entered but not yet become embedded in the mainstream of business-related education. The PRME are therefore a timely global call for business schools and universities worldwide to gradually adapt their curricula, research, teaching methodologies and institutional strategies to the new business challenges and opportunities.
