CBS teaches the traditional courses in Economics, Management and Business Administration, but is also well known for cross-disciplinary research and teaching. Students can combine business with (for example) philosophy, political science, psychology, commercial law, communication, or many other fields.

You can access the CBS course list via the links "Undergraduate courses" and "Graduate courses". Undergraduate students may be eligible to take one graduate level course. Please note, however, that CBS' MBA courses are not available to exchange students due to differences in the core structure of the programs.

Generally, spring semester courses are announced on the web during October whereas autumn semester courses are announced during April. Until then, you may browse the course selection from the previous spring or autumn semester. There are always a few changes in the course offerings from one year to the next, but normally the majority of the courses are repeated.

At CBS, students must be registered for 30 ECTS credits per semester. Most courses at CBS equal 7.5 ECTS credits each, which means a student must take about 4 courses to be considered a full-time student.

Important: While the Spring semester at CBS officially runs from late January-June 30, you can leave Copenhagen as soon as you have taken your exams. In the course descriptions, you can see when the courses are being taught: Q3 (first half of the semester), full semester courses or Q4 (last half of the semester). If you choose courses in Q4, you can look for courses with home assignments, which you can upload to the Digital Exam portal from home. CBS cannot guarantee exams will be offered before June 1.

• For more information on courses and credits from abroad, including policies regarding start/end dates, refer to the Academic Policies page on the Education Abroad website. 

Transcript & Grades

• Grades will appear on the Cornell transcript in the same format as they are recorded on the original transcript generated by the host institution. Grades are not factored into the Cornell GPA.
• For information on how grades appear on the transcript and frequently asked questions, including transcript dates for graduating seniors, please refer to the Transcripts and Credits page on the Education Abroad website.

• You are responsible for ensuring that the Office of Global Learning – Education Abroad receives an official original transcript. Most institutions send transcripts directly to Cornell, but you may need to request that they send it.

  If possible, have them send the transcript via a secure means (password protected, Box/Dropbox, etc.) to abroad@cornell.edu. Do not use a default email address for Cornell University. 

  Alternatively, your program can mail your transcript to B50 Caldwell Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca NY, 14853.
