    The new CBS Campus

    Studying at CBS has been a great experience for me as a student. The professors are super knowledgeable and genuinely care about their students, being easy to reach and always ready to help. They don’t just teach theory they bring real world experience into their lectures and interact with the room, making lessons practical and interesting. Plus, they’re always open to questions and happy to help.

    The new campus for CBS is also an amazing upgrade for them. It’s modern, spacious, and has everything needed for a great learning environment. From high-tech classrooms to cozy study areas and study rooms, it really makes studying here even better.

    As a new student the events organised/hosted by CBS really help to meet new students and to form friendships before classes even start.

    Have had problems with scheduling, where classes have overlapped, or had big gaps between my classes, but this was sorted by the scheduling department.

    What CBS can offer

    Overall CBS international business school is a perfect platform for network as the student are interested in events but I have noticed that most of the events that are offered are not exactly to our interest of growth. While parties and gathering are good, I know that the students wants more experience in working environments such as vist to workplaces. The school is willing to grow the it’s students and the professors are well experienced and can explain with real life situations. The campus is small but very lively and feels like home. The professors treats us a equals and will help us if we just ask for it. I’m glad I choose CBS and I hope unlike traditional schools CBS will include more experience events in it’s calendar than it already has.

    CBS: A Hub of Global Business Education

    Cologne Business School (CBS) offers a dynamic and comprehensive MBA program that prepares students for international business challenges. As a current student, I’ve experienced the school’s strengths in providing practical, industry-focused learning opportunities.
    Key Highlights:
    Practical Project Experience: The curriculum emphasizes real-world consulting projects, such as the Deutsche Telekom market analysis and Lyofood strategic planning, which develop critical business skills.
    International Perspective: The international business focus allows students to work on diverse, global business challenges.
    Hands-on Learning: Projects involve deep market research, expert interviews, and strategic recommendations, giving students practical insights into business strategy.
    The school stands out for its approach to combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, enabling students to develop critical skills in market analysis, strategic consulting, and innovative problem-solving. While the program is relatively new in my academic journey, it has already provided valuable opportunities for professional growth and real-world business experience.

    My little experience in CBS business school

    I’ve had a good experience so far while I’ve been studying at CBS. However, the majority of students are of German nationality, while there are also students from other nations. If you’re feeling under the weather or don’t feel like going to school, they provide a blended learning option that allows you to stay at home and participate in the class simultaneously online. The campus in Cologne is not particularly cutting-edge, but I’ve heard that the campus in Mainz is more or less cutting-edge and attractive. The instructors and departmental officials are all cordial. The School encourages pupils to participate in a variety of sports because it values a healthy balance between work and recreation. As a result of CBS’s partnerships with various significant businesses, the School is able to maintain its curricula current with the needs of the modern business world. Additionally, partnerships allow CBS to give its students greater options for internships and professional experience. By participating in business projects in collaboration with well-known companies, students can also gain important information and skills.

    Great Business School

    It’s been a few months that I am studying at CBS and I would say that I’ve had a cool experience so far. However the greatest proportion of students lies in German nationality, but you can find students coming from different countries as well. They provided a blended learning option meaning that you can stay at home and join the class online at the same time, if you feel sick or don’t feel like going to school. The campus in Cologne is not super modern but I was told the campus in Mainz is more or less innovative and nice. All the professors and representatives of departments are friendly.

  • How easy is it to find an internship during your studies at CBS?

    At CBS in Cologne it’s fairly doable to get an internship because it’s literally built into the program (mandatory internship) and the Career Center plus company network in Cologne/Düsseldorf helps a lot, but you still have to apply yourself and speak at least some German if you want the broader range of options.

    Honestly, you’ll be fine as an international at CBS. The vibe is very international and people are used to classmates from everywhere. There are plenty of Latin American/international clubs and events, so you won’t feel like the odd one out.
