The so­cial life

Find a community in a student organisation

You can also become a member of one of the more than 130 student associations at CBS. You can surely find one that matches your interests, for instance:

• Paddle tennis, cycling and yoga
• Sustainability, climate and literature
• Creation, art and choir 

And if you have a hobby that you would like to share with others, there is also ample opportunity for you to start your own student union.

Interested in student politics or student well being?

If you would like to have a more direct influence on the daily life of your studies, you can go into student politics at CBS or join the study board of your programme. Here there are committees focusing on well-being and quality of education.

Some programmes also have their own club, where you can help arrange social activities and parties for your fellow students. You can get a network by becoming a study start coordinator or guide and help onboard new students. Or you can join the CBS Case Competition each year. There are many possibilities.

In some courses, the teacher puts you together with other students in a group. It can be both for presentations in class, or when you have to write an exam paper together. In other subjects, you yourself have to find students to form a group with. There are great advantages in finding students with whom you share interests when forming groups. It's not always the best idea to create groups with your best friends.

There are also many students who create voluntary study groups during the semester or the exam period. You can use the group for sharing knowledge and to solve tasks together. You can also choose to work alone if you feel best about it in the courses where groups have not been set up by the teacher.

Group work in class could be your possibility to find a new work bestie

Communities are important, both when you hang out with your fellow students on campus and when you work in groups or in your class. CBS classes can be big with many students. Often you will not know that many people in your class.  Probably, you won't know your teacher as well as you did in your Upper Secondary School. 

In group work, you also have a responsibility to ensure that together you reach the goal and get the result you want in the group. Either way, you have to be courageous and reach out for the opportunities CBS holds.

An international environment

With more than 21,000 students on campus, you can be sure to meet people from all over the world. You will be joining a diverse campus where students, professors and other staff represent more than 50 nationalities. Hearing different languages than your own is a guarantee while on campus. 

As a student, you will become familiar with other cultures in many ways. Through group work, you learn to work in intercultural settings. From professors and guest lecturers, you will learn about their international professional experience. By engaging in student life, you can create an international network.

Students from all programmes and backgrounds join one or more than the 100 + different student organisations found at CBS. Engaging in an active student life at CBS is an easy way to increase your international network.

In addition to these, you can also join the International Student Ambassadors (ISA), apply to be a buddy for incoming exchange students or join the exchange crew. If you are looking for an international student life, you will find it at CBS.

And it does not stop there.

Group work is also a central part of being a CBS student. With thousands of international students, you can work with students from all over the world and get practical experience with cross-cultural teamwork. Even in the Danish taught programmes, you will be surrounded with students from the other Nordic countries.
