Get ready Denmark is a country with a rather tough visa policy. For this reason it is better to start all application procedures as quick as possible (As soon as you get an information package from CBS). As exchange program lasts for about 3-4 months students have to get work and residence permit instead of usual visa. It can be done only in Moscow, in Danish Embassy. All the details can be found at its official site: http://www.ambmoskva.um.dk/ru but it is better to call and get precise information. All official procedures are IT-enabled in Denmark that is why it is ok to solve all the problems by e-mail. Office-managers at CBS will respond as quickly as possible and will do everything to help you. Excluding application for the residence permit there are a few tasks you should solve as quickly as possible. • Housing Thousands of international students study in Copenhagen annually that is why it is better to start to search for the housing in the summer. There are a few options. The first one is to live at the dormitory but it is quiet expensive – you should pay more that $1k per months. The second option is to try to find private housing. The best way is to cooperate with other students and rent 2 or 3 room department. The best place to search for the housing is http://www.boligportal.dk/. You will have to pay some money for the membership but is will help you to save your money in the future. • Courses Copenhagen Business School has lots and lots of different courses. But if you are undergraduate student it will be a problem to choose from graduate courses and on the contrary. For example me, I registered for 3 graduate marketing courses but was approved for only one. Of course, you should be ready to change your course list after the arrival because some of the courses can be full or can be run at the same time. • Cash and moneyAlmost everywhere international cards like Visa and Mastercard are accepted. But in such an important place as student canteen only Danish cards are accepted that is why it is better to go to local bank and make bank account there: it will make your life easier in the future and will help to save some money.• TicketsDon’t book return ticket till the moment when all the exam dates are announced. To my mind, the best airlines to choose are: SAS from Saint Petersburg and Virgin Airlines from Finland. First days Denmark If you have chosen such an option, your buddy will meet you at the airport and transport you to the housing. As soon as possible visit an International Office for practical information. The next thing to do is to get your own CPR-Number at local commune that will replace your passport and insurance during your stay in Denmark. So before your study begins you will have time to observe the city and take part in Introduction Week which is very well organized. Study at CBS Copenhagen Business School is one of the best business schools in Europe and is a member of CEMS. The campus of CBS consists of 4 modern and innovative buildings. You can learn more details at www.cbs.dk. During your there you will meet a lot of different people from all over the world that will strengthen your communication skills and broaden your mental outlook. I would say that study at CBS is very democratic and all the lectures are run in the form of a dialogue between students and the teacher. Much attention is paid both to theory and practice that is why all students take part in different group projects and projects. The students have to read much because during the lectures just the outline of the course is given and then the discussion of the read material takes part. That is why the favorite place of the students in the CBS (after canteen and bar) is the library which is situated on the 4 floors. It should be mentioned that the books for the courses are very expensive, that is why the solution can be to by used books or buy them through Internet.Spare time in Denmark First weeks will be spent at endless bars, pubs and clubs. Also every Thursday there is a party at Nexus Club which is situated in the main building of CBS campus. Then when you are fed up with noisy clubs you can observe the city: it is quiet, picturesque and lovely. There a lot of great places to visit like Tivoli, Christiania, City Hall and so on. Just walking around the streets is like a small magic trip. In a month or two it is time to visit some places outside the city or even the country. The position of Denmark is very convenient to visit Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, etc. You should be in contact with an international office of CBS which organizes different activities for exchange students. So just have fun! Tips for daily life in Denmark• Transportation The transportation system in Copenhagen is very convenient. Busses, S-trains and Metro are connected in one infrastructure. Single tickets are very expensive that is why it is better to buy «clip-korts» for the first time and then, after you get you CPR-Number buy monthly ticket. The city is divided into a number of zones that is why be careful that you buy the ticket for the right zone. Of course, for the student the best solution will be to buy the bicycle – it is the main means of transport in the city. It will take you no more than 30 minutes to get to any point within the city.• Shopping & FoodPrices are very high in Denmark that is why students should pay attention to the place where to buy products. Fotex, Facta are the best ones because prices are not so high there together with a great amount of different promotions. You should remember that almost all
