Denmark
Skål!
Wander down Copenhagen’s ancient streets and experience
the richness of tradition and history contrasting with
the modern lines of Danish design and architecture.
Copenhagen is truly a mix of old and new,
of tradition and experimentation.
A city of 1.7 million,
Copenhagen is home to Denmark’s
financial, governmental and cultural centers.
Its winding pedestrian streets are alive with
musicians, street performers, shops and restaurants.
Though its attributes suggest a major metropolitan center,
Copenhagen is a very livable environment with
parks, bicycle paths and canals throughout the urban landscape.

Academic Program
The Oregon University System (OUS) - Denmark exchange program provides a unique opportunity for you - as an undergraduate or graduate student - to take classes taught in English at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) during summer, fall, winter/spring, or the academic year. The CBS offers a traditional business curriculum (accounting, business law, finance, information technology, management, marketing, operations, organization, strategy, and more), economics courses, and limited offerings in American studies, area studies, communication, languages, and political science. A graduate internship in international entrepreneurship may also be available. For a list of courses, see the CBS web page http://www.cbs.dk/intoff/, updated in May of each year.
You will be integrated into the regular academic program of the institution with Danish and other international students, not isolated with a group of Americans. Since group and project work are major elements of the academic experience at CBS, you’ll get to know your classmates very well. You’ll definitely be working in a multinational environment!
Depending on how many courses you take, you should receive approximately the same number of credits from your program in Copenhagen as you would being a full-time student in Oregon. (Special considerations must be noted for spring semester students.) You will be registered at your home campus in the OUS (or at an OUS partner institution) and will receive academic credit from that institution. You should consult with your academic adviser and Campus Contact to determine how CBS course work will integrate with your home university curriculum requirements.
The OUS requires that you attend the day-long pre-departure orientation that covers the academic, administrative, financial and cultural information necessary for successful participation. Upon arrival in Copenhagen, you will participate in a one week orientation at the CBS
Copenhagen Business School
Established in 1917, the Copenhagen Business School enrolls approximately 15,000 students, one-third of them at the graduate level, making the CBS one of the three largest business schools in northern Europe. Classes are held at several locations throughout the city. The school’s state of the art library is well equipped with a wide range of publications and electronic media. Oregon students are integrated into a large international student population at the CBS. Visit the Copenhagen Business School website at http://www.cbs.dk/intoff/.
Housing
Housing is arranged through the International Office at the CBS. Students may live in homes, private apartments or residence halls. Cooking facilities are available in all housing options or students may eat very inexpensively in university dining halls.
On-site Support
You will be assisted through the application and orientation process by staff of the OUS International Programs Office working in conjunction with your university’s Campus Contact and the staff of the CBS. Upon arrival in Copenhagen, you will be assisted by a CBS “buddy,” a Danish student who will meet you and help orient you to the city and university. Throughout your stay, you will receive academic and advising support from the CBS International Office.
