Copenhagen Business School, also known as CBS, is situated in Copenhagen, Denmark. CBS was established in 1917 by Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education and Research (FUHU), however, it wasn't until 1920 that accounting became the first full study programme at CBS. Today CBS has more than 20,000 students, 13,000 employees and offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programmes within business, typically with an interdisciplinary and international focus. CBS' campus is located in Frederiksberg, close to the center of Copenhagen, and centers on CBS' main campus Solbjerg Plads (finished in 2000).

Since the Danish Universities Act of 2003, CBS has had a Board of Directors with an external majority. The Board of Directors appoints the President of CBS, who is currently Per Holten-Andersen. Most of the programs are taught in English and more than 50% of the faculty is recruited from abroad, making CBS an international academic environment.

History

CBS was established in 1917 by the Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education (now known as FUHU), which is a private educational institution. In 1965 the business school became integrated as an institution of higher education in the Danish education system. Today it is regulated by the Danish Universities Act of 2003.

Academic programmes

CBS offers a range of university degrees in business economics and modern languages for international business communication in Denmark.

BSc International Business

The BSc in International Business covers three main areas of study, Economics, Business Economics/Management, and Methodology. The BSc IB is the only program in Denmark that offers students the opportunity to join the GLOBE (Global Learning Opportunities in Business Education) program or the EngAGE (Engaged, Applied, Global Education) program.

BSc International Business and Politics

The BSc in International Business and Politics is an interdisciplinary bachelor program which offers students a joint concentration in management and economics, political science and international relations.

Masters Programmes

Some of the graduate degree and diploma programmes:[1]

  • Economics and Business Administration
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Philosophy and Business Administration

Facilities

CBS Campus

CBS is an urban university primarily located in four modern buildings in Frederiksberg, close to the center of Copenhagen. The main complex, Solbjerg Plads, was opened in 2000 and includes 34,000 m2 of student and office space surrounded by gardens and outdoor living space.[2] Designed by Vilhelm Lauritzer Architects, the complex consists of interconnected concrete, glass and tile-sided buildings of varying heights that house student auditoriums, faculty office space, a cafeteria, the main library, a student bar and the campus bookstore.[3]

Dalgas Have, opened in 1989 and designed by Henning Larsen Architects, is the oldest building currently in use.[4] Owned by the Danish Pension Fund for Engineers and leased by CBS, the building includes 20,000 m2 of student classrooms, study space and offices distributed around a three-story 175 m long arcade.[4][5] At the midpoint of the arcade a two-story semi-circular cafeteria sits below a semi-circular library.[4]

Kilen (The Wedge) was opened in 2006 and includes 10,000 m2 of student classrooms, study spaces, and offices for research and administration.[6] Designed by Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, the four-story wedge-shaped building features a large oval-shaped atrium that extends the height of the building.[7] The exterior is covered with full-story screens made of wood, matte glass or copper, which rotate in response to the Sun and weather.[7] Kilen has been the recipient of numerous architecture and design awards such as a RIBA European Award in 2006.[7]

Porcelænshaven, the fourth main building that comprises the CBS campus, is leased by CBS from the Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education. Formerly the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory, the factory has been converted into 20,000 m2 of student classrooms, study spaces, offices, and a student residence.[8] A central feature of the building, a 1,000 m2 main hall used for large events, stands in the old location of the factory kiln hall.[8] As part of the factory conversion, Henning Larsen Architects transformed the old raw material storage building into 3,800 m2 of modern study space.[9]

CBS campus buildings reflect characteristic Scandinavian style and have been recognized by Frederiksberg Municipality earning an Award for Good and Beautiful Building in 2006 and 2009.[7][9] The four main buildings are within walking distance and located along three consecutive stations on the Copenhagen Metro from Lindevang Station (Dalgas Have) to Frederiksberg Station (Solbjerg Plads).

Student facilities

Student facilities include multimedia labs, interpretation labs, break-out rooms for group and project work, personal computers and Learning Resource Center. Computers are replaced with new models at least every third year. Plugs for portable laptops are readily available, and wireless connections are installed in the main buildings.
