Students at CBS will take an average of 4 courses per semester for 30 ECTS credits. Some courses are full semester courses, while others are taught only for half the semester. Spring semester courses are generally announced online in October. Students can look at previous semesters to determine what may be offered.

The CBS website has a detailed description of their grading scale, group work, and study techniques. Students are strongly encouraged to become familiar with the CBS academic structure. An optional, but recommended, Danish language course is offered the week prior to the Orientation. The course is not included in the exchange, and therefore students must pay for it separately. During the semester, a Danish language course is offered for credit.

 CBS does not offer university-sponsored housing. CBS is able to facilitate reservation agreements for students in private dormitories and help students sign contracts with local landlords. As the private dormitories are limited, not all students will be guaranteed residence hall housing. Students not assigned to dormitories may live off-campus in private housing. CBS estimates that housing will cost approximately DKK 5,000-6,000 per month. Students also have the option to look for independent housing.
