All CEMS courses are offered in English.
Students who are not native speakers of English must have English language proficiency equivalent to 600/250/100 TOEFL score. Documentation is not required for incoming CEMS students as this is verified by the home university.
During the semester, Danish language courses are offered (for credit). Courses such as “English for Business Students”, “Effective writing in English”, “Oral Communication in English” are also offered for credit. The last two courses can substitute the CEMS exit test in written and oral English respectively if passed with a “10” or above.
30 ECTS/semester The Copenhagen Business School uses ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System). A full time student takes 30 ECTS credits per semester or 60 ECTS credits per academic year. 30 ECTS credits are based on 900 Student Work Hours (SWH), which are not only the hours of work in class but also an extensive amount of work outside the classroom.
At CBS each course is normally 7.5 ECTS credits so four courses are needed in order to be a full time student. Note that a few courses can be found with a different number of credits.

Services and Facilities
All students are required to have a health insurance from their home country covering medical repatriation for the full semester.
We strongly recommend that students also have liability insurance as well as personal insurance covering theft etc.
Students from the Nordic countries need no residence permit
European students from EC and EEA countries must have a residence permit to stay in Denmark for more than three months. This is applied for in Denmark upon arrival.European students from outside the Nordic countries and EC/EEA and non-Europeans MUST have their visa or residence permit in order before leaving their home country. Please note that the “Application for a residence and work permit for students” form must be filled in by CBS first and later by the student who then submit it to the nearest Danish consulate. The form will be sent to each student with the acceptance letter/ information package.
CBS arranges accommodation either in a residence hall, a shared flat or in a house/flat for all students who apply before our application deadline (March 1, 2009). Please note that because of acute lack of sufficient student housing in Copenhagen, we cannot guarantee a particular type of housing. Applications received after the deadline will be processed but we cannot guarantee that housing will be found.
