About Copenhagen Business School (CBS)
Copenhagen Business School is Europe's largest business school with over 23,000 students and one of the most internationally diverse student bodies in Scandinavia. Founded in 1917, CBS offers master's programs entirely in English across business administration, finance, information systems, supply chain management, and organisational behaviour. The school's location in Frederiksberg — effectively central Copenhagen — means graduates have direct access to the Danish capital's finance, consulting, and IT sectors, and to the headquarters of companies like Maersk, Novo Nordisk, and Carlsberg.
CBS is not technically a comprehensive university — it specialises exclusively in business and social science — but this focus creates a very cohesive network and a strong employer-to-alumni pipeline. For Nepali students targeting European business careers, CBS's Danish location provides a gateway to the Nordic business world and the EU single market. The school's International Office actively supports South Asian students with visa guidance, accommodation referrals, and career advisory services. Tuition runs approximately DKK 118,000/year ($17,000) for most master's programs.
