LEARNING WITHOUT BORDERS – INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES AT CBS
Discover how students from around the world describe their time at CBS.
What I value most about CBS is the truly international nature of the Master’s programme. In my cohort, there were 17 students – only three of them from Germany, with the rest coming from all over the world (including Albania, the USA, India, Italy, Norway, China, and Mauritius). To me, this is a major strength of CBS and, in this form, truly unique in Germany: “international” is not just a label here, but a lived reality. In the end, the experience convinced me so much that I remain part of CBS not only as an alumnus, but also as a lecturer.
Studying International Business at CBS challenged me to think beyond my comfort zone and see business from a truly global perspective. Professors were supportive and excellent in their field, which allowed me to learn from the best. The exchange semester was also my highlight, as it not only deepened my academic knowledge but also strengthened my independence, and intercultural communication skills as well as allowed me to broaden my perspective in an international setting.
Do you have any questions?
The team at the CBS International Office is happy to support you with advice and assistance on all topics related to your semester abroad at our partner universities or other international experiences.
