Student Services

The Copenhagen Business School has a “buddy system” arrangement in which each exchange/guest student will be assigned a Danish “buddy” to help in getting through the first few weeks in the new surroundings. This includes being picked up in the airport, help with registration at the National Registry, advice on shopping, post offices, and other practical matters. “Buddies” are CBS students who have volunteered to help one or more international students. Throughout the semester various activities are planned for the international students and their buddies.
