Application Process

Early application is advised. Selection for the program is based on a review of the student's written application, transcripts, recommendations, and personal interview. Applications are available in the International Programs Office on your home campus and online by clicking here:

Completed applications should be submitted to your home campus international programs Office. A $50 application fee is due at the time the application is submitted and is non-refundable under any circumstances.

Selection and Participation

Participants must meet the eligibility requirements for their chosen program, and be prepared linguistically, academically, and socially to succeed abroad. Overseas study participants must satisfactorily complete the following:

• Well-written program application
• Personal interview
• Timely submission of required paperwork
• Attendance at pre-departure orientation sessions
• Payment of program fees

Program participants must also demonstrate the ability to be successful overseas through evidence of maturity, motivation, and flexibility. Participation in any program is subject to the approval of the OUS International Programs Office and its partner institutions, which may grant or withhold such approval in their sole discretion.

Acceptance to all study abroad programs involves a significant amount of paperwork for legal, financial, academic and safety reasons. Your Campus Contact and our office are ready to help explain and guide you through the paperwork process; however, it is your responsibility to complete the paperwork in a timely and professional manner.

Visa Information

Students (except for EU and Swiss citizens) who are admitted into the fall or spring programs will need to apply for a Danish student residence permit (also known as a visa). The visa is a supplement to the U.S. passport, authorized by the Danish government, which gives students the right to enter Denmark (and all other Nordic countries) as a student and to live there for the CBS study period. Americans cannot remain in Scandinavia for more than ninety (90) days without some type of visa.

The visa application process is a time-consuming procedure and must be completed prior to departing the United States. In order to complete the visa application process in a timely manner, you should have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the end date of your program.

Students participating in only the summer program need not apply for the Danish student residence permit.

Orientations

All students are required to attend the OUS pre-departure orientation that will cover academic, logistical, and financial matters. For detailed information, including dates and locations, please click here:
