LEARNING WITHOUT BORDERS – INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES AT CBS
Discover how students from around the world describe their time at CBS.
The CBS Summer Programme was one of the best experiences of my studies. It was a great way to earn credits while gaining international experience and meeting friends from all over the world. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and fun summer that supports both personal and academic growth.
I couldn't have had a better experience than the one I had at CBS Cologne. I felt welcomed from the very first moment. People often think university is cold or only about studying, but CBS proved the opposite with welcome parties, constant events, and amazing support. I quickly made friends, felt at home, and was able to enjoy Cologne and travel without stress.
I truly loved my time at CBS. The classes were engaging and I met amazing people from all over the world. Outside the classroom, there was always something fun to do, from exploring Cologne to travelling across Europe. I learned so much, grew personally, and made memories I’ll never forget. It was an experience I would happily repeat.
My time at CBS opened my perspective and allowed me to meet people from many different cultures. It was an experience I’ll always remember!
