We have made this magazine to help and prepare you in the best possible way for your start at CBS. Me and my awesome team of volunteers from the student union have worked hard to convey personal thoughts and experiences in R.U.S.H., for the sole purpose of giving you the best framework to start your new life here, regardless of whether you are a bachelor student, graduate student, international, a complete newcomer, or familiar with CBS. We hope you enjoy it, learn something, and hopefully laugh a little.

Libraries (…obviously) If you like being surrounded by books and a lot of fellow students, the library is the place for you! There is one at each campus, the bigger ones (espe- cially Solbjerg Plads) being the busiest. To be sure to have a place to sit during exam season, book a study seat or a group room at my.cbs > campus and library > Basement at Graduate House booking At Graduate House, there are plen- ty of opportunities to study. There are two floors with study seats at the 2nd and 3rd floor, but a secret tip is to go to the basement! Fewer people and a cozier atmosphere.

The Room behind Ovnhallen at Porcelænshaven A bit easier to find, but slightly hidden behind the greatness of Ovnhallen at Porcelænshaven. Here, you will find small booths with couch-like furniture and very good surroundings to do group work in.

Study Rooms If you have a study group then there is no better place to submerge your- self in the books than the study rooms that are on every campus. They can be booked through my.cbs > campus and library > booking

As part of your degree here at CBS you have an opportunity to do an internship or exchange – or both.

course, this happens to a lot of students, so the application reopens a month later - no need to stress! Going on exchange can be costly; when going to a university in Europe you are automatically signed up for the Erasmus grant and there are plenty of other grants scholarships that you can apply for if you consider going on exchange.

Personally, I would recommend you go on exchange if you consider it. It is a great experience and you make many new friends from all over the world.

Credit approval Before starting your exchange semester, you can ap- ply for pre-approval for the courses you wish to take. This will make it easier when you come back and have to apply for the final credit transfer for your courses from abroad. This is also the way you make sure your courses can be approved by your study programme at CBS. If you don’t apply for pre-approval you must do so when applying for your final credit transfer.

You can apply for pre-approval for your courses any time af- ter you have been accepted at your host university and there is no final deadline for when you have to apply, but it is recommend- ed that you do it before you go, and if possible do it before you choose the courses at the host university so you do not end up taking courses you cannot get credits for when you get back home.

You can find more information on pre-approval of your courses and how to apply on my.cbs.dk > Exchange > After CBS selection > Credit transfer and preapproval > Application and deadlines.

Credit transfer When you come back from exchange you have to apply for a fi- nal credit transfer to get the courses from your exchange on your diploma and accepted as part of your CBS programme. You must get all the courses you have passed and got pre-approved trans- ferred to your degree at CBS. It is recommended that you apply for the final credit transfer as soon as you have the transcript from the exchange university, and if you have not had all of your courses pre-approved, this should be done at the same time as the final credit transfer.

You can find more information on how to apply for the final credit transfer on my.cbs.dk > Exchange > After CBS selection > Credit transfer and preapproval > Final credit transfer.

BACHELOR STUDENTS BACHELOR After processing the information overload from the first couple of weeks at CBS, you will start to feel like you are getting the hang of it. You begin to understand how everything works and maybe, in a glorious, quiet moment, you even allow yourself to think: “Hey, I've got this!” And then suddenly, the exams knock on your door…

Usually, new university students are surprised at how little time passes before the first exams take place. Whether your classes are divided into two or four exam- periods a year, you will probably not feel 100% ready when you suddenly sit across from your professor, or when you enter your first written sit-in exam in the exam hall on Amager. Before you lose your enthusiasm completely, remember that many people have gotten through it before you, and to help you feel a bit less lost here is a list of things you should do be- fore an exam:

Check the formal requirements: Fun fact: the majority of cases regarding cheating on exams are proven to be unintentional be- cause students simply did not know or had forgotten a require- ment. All examinations have for- mal requirements and especially the written ones can be tricky. Take your time to read the require- ments for all of your different ex- ams and make sure you do not mix them up. Skipping this step often

STUDYING AT CBS – A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE Now that you have a better idea of what studying as a master student is like, only one question remains – how is studying at CBS different from studying at another university? Every university has its specialties, those ticks that turn it into a unique place. We asked master students who graduated from other universities to tell us what struck them most about being a student at CBS. Here are some of the answers we got:

Living in a different country, far from home, can sometimes be a bit unnerving – especially in the beginning. It takes some time to get used to all the quirks of your new home.

To make the time in the beginning a little less scary, it can be helpful to hear the stories of others who have had the same experience, and who can point out the particularities of living in Denmark.

Iceland was a part of Denmark until 1944. But What were you expecting about studying in I would say Danes are much more organized Denmark and how would you compare it to than Icelanders. the reality?

My expectations were really about getting in- teresting lectures from top professors and to

meet new people with a similar background INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS as me. In reality I think that has mostly come true, a big plus has been the guest lecturers that have presented for my class. I struggled with finding a stu- dent job since I am a second- year student and I don’t speak Danish. Copenhagen has a lot of international students, so there is a lot of competition. It took I chose to come to CBS me 4 months to find my job. because I wanted to study – Evaliniia, Iceland in a different country. Also because of the ranking and because it is free. – Fabio, Spain

CBS Students Print has a history that shows exactly how student initiatives can improve the student life at CBS. The former solution to print was quite expensive and cumbersome. Therefore, a group of students thought, “We can do this better”.

They worked tirelessly setting up the printers, the software and making sure that everything was just right, even making sure that the printers were always stocked with paper and ink etc. And it worked. CBS closed its competing service as CBS Students was, and still is, able to provide the best and cheapest printing service around.

So whenever you are printing exams or other important doc- uments; remember that it is all student driven, and it is the reason why you can print inexpensively at CBS. CBS STUDENTS

You are about to spend a fairly big chunk of your life in Copenhagen, so it might be a good idea to get to know the city better. It will not only satisfy your curiosity but will also enable you to feel at home. Therefore, we have created a list of must-see places and must-do activities in the capital city of Denmark. All the places are so close to each other that you can visit them by foot or, in case you have one, by bike. As you are going to actually live here, we also provide you with a list of places to go where you will meet the Danes, learn about the special culture of “hygge”, and make you feel at home.
