The Copenhagen Business School exchange programs offer Questrom School of Business students the opportunity to study at one of the top-ranked business schools in the world. Students will enroll directly at Copenhagen Business School for a semester or an academic year. Students can select from a variety of accommodation options, from large and small residence halls at different locations throughout the city to private housing. Students also have the option to study Danish language through a crash course before the start of classes or to take a Danish language course during the semester, though the study of Danish is not mandatory. Students take four courses (16 credits total), at least two of which must be management courses approved by Questrom as Questrom-equivalent courses. Interested students should refer to Questrom’s lists of pre-approved courses.
Requirements & Considerations
Curriculum

Academic culture may be very different at a partner institution; Copenhagen Business School provides a rigorous academic experience to both local and visiting students, and you will be subject to their academic policies and procedures during your time at this institution. In many classes, the majority of your grade will be dependent on one final exam, paper, or presentation, and grading may be on a curve.
