Teaching at CBS
Go to teach.cbs.dkStudy programmes across departments
At CBS we work with what is known as a matrix structure across all study programmes. This means that different departments contribute with courses to several study programmes, and the the same study programme therefore receives courses and lecturers from multiple departments.
As an external lecturer at one of CBS' departments, you therefore have the opportunity to teach across several programmes. You can see which programmes the different departments contribute teaching to under each department.

Time Registration
All teaching activities (teaching, supervision, exams, etc.) are registered in our administrative system, Prophix. Working hours for external lecturers will be reported once a semester based on planned working hours.
You can always check your current timesheet in our PowerBI system. Emails will be pushed from the system 2-3 times every semester and we urge you to check the balance and activities to be sure that everything is registred correctly.
Payout
All working hours will be precalculated in the beginning of each semester. This will be based on an estimation of your expected teaching, supervision, exams, etc. The precalculated hours will be paid out monthly during the five months of the semester whereas excess hours will be calculated after the end of activity and exams.
The working hours will be paid out on the last banking day of each month.
