Undergraduate and Graduate Exchange
The Copenhagen Business School (CBS), the largest business school in Northern Europe with 13,500 students, emphasizes international research and study. CBS' strong academic reputation and warm welcome of international exchange students makes this one of the most popular programs among UW business students.
Copenhagen was founded almost 900 years ago, and since that time has been a crossroads between north and south, east and west. It is now also a meeting place of charming old streets and buildings and a modern, easy-going way of life. As Denmark's administrative, financial and cultural center, it has something to offer everyone, from medieval homes to modern department stores to a wealth of cafes. Copenhagen is also famous for music concerts and bicycling. A video, titled 'Copenhagen Business School' is available in the A/V room of the business library, 2200 Grainger Hall.
Language requirements and courses
A variety of courses are available in English, primarily in business
and economics. Receive UW residence credits and grades.
A non-credit Danish Crash Course (highly recommended by past participants)
is offered before the semester begins.
Undergraduate courses are listed below. Graduate students should contact International Programs for course offerings. Courses for the following academic year are announced in May.
This list is subject to change. Due to circumstances beyond our control such as enrollment limitations, time conflicts and course cancellations, International Programs cannot guarantee that participants will be admitted to their first choice of courses.
