international-office-studenten-in-einem-meeting

CBS International Business School is internationally oriented. The teaching prepares you for a career in globally operating companies – even abroad. This means including a semester abroad as part of the programme in some courses. The international office maintains good relations with more than 160 partner universities throughout the world and is constantly working to expand this network. To this end, our employees travel to potential, new universities, and educational fairs in order to establish contacts and offer our students even more possibilities.

CBS International Office also holds informational events. These, for example, are used to explain in a compact manner what is to be observed before the semester abroad, which documents have to be submitted, and how the crediting of study achievements works.

Thanks to the internationality at CBS, many students from all over the world feel at home with us. CBS International Office also advises these on all relevant matters to their stay in Germany.

Well prepared for your semester abroad

Most students have a dream: to spend a semester abroad. Getting to know a new country, gathering intercultural experiences, improving language skills, expanding expertise … there are many good reasons. At CBS, this is not a privilege but an established practice. In the English-language and dual Bachelor studies you spend one semester abroad; students in the German-language programme also have the option to apply for a semester abroad.
Having to choose from over 160 partner universities all around the world is no easy task. The International Office is happy to advise you and can offer valuable tips.

The International Office offers a wide range of assistance in planning and implementing your semester abroad:

  • Individual counselling interviews

  • Presentations by representatives of the foreign partner universities

  • Presentations by CBS students who report on their experiences abroad

  • Regular information events on opportunities and application processes

  • Exchange between former and future outgoings

  • Support for all necessary steps before, during and after the semester abroad

Of course, it is important to know at which university your subjects of choice are available, how well your foreign language skills need to be, and how to find an apartment or a shared flat. After the consultation, it’s up to you to select between partner universities where you would like to study, and start with the application process - first at CBS, then at relevant partner institutions - in cooperation with the international office. Additional tuition fees generally do not apply for most of the study abroad destinations, but travel and everyday costs vary considerably depending on the country and city. The International Office is also happy to advise you on all financing issues concerning your semester abroad. Learn more about a semester abroad here.
