‘For me CBS has meant stimulating intellectual environment with ample opportunities for development and growth. CBS combines the humanistic academic disciplines with the social sciences and technical fields, while also committing to a larger conception of the role of business in society, providing excellent administrative support and good collegiality. Denmark offers modern welfare state policies and a commitment to fairness and excellence’
Professor Ravi Vatrapu, Department of IT Management
‘In my years at CBS, I always found open doors for new fields and ideas. The colleagues I meet can and do think outside the boxes and silos of traditional business schools. CBS is a unique place: It is a well-balanced combination of first class research and research-based teaching with international staff and student body in a supportive and cooperative atmosphere. In regards to sustainability, the city of Copenhagen is exemplary: Biking infrastructure and public transport are probably unique in the world’
