Great learning atmosphere and student culture

I was studying Engineering, Innovation & Business at the Sonderborg campus in the south of Denmark. The campus is a smaller one, but definitely one of the more beautiful ones. The building is placed right next to the water and inside you have the library with real trees and many opportunities to sit down and relax with friends on couches. The teachers are all very friendly and supportive. They know you by your name and their office is always open for you if you have any questions or need help (either academically, professionally or even personally). The student culture is great as well and you really get a sense of belonging to the community through the student bar, which is run voluntarily by the students and also through other student clubs and meetups. The difficulty of studying is fair. I would say it is a little bit easier compared to other European countries, but this also highly depends on the student. In general, however, I felt less pressure to study than in other universities.

A Place of Personal Growth

In CBS you can expect an environment of proactive thinking and growth. The university staff is always open to help and to debate. The teaching methods balance theoretical knowledge and practical skills enabling the student with capacity and confidence to enter the job market successfully. The existence of students from all over the world stimulates discussion and promotion of different cultures, ideas and perspectives. I highly recommend this university for students in business-related areas.

Learning in a conducive environment

Forget stuffy lectures and textbook-only learning! At DTU, you're thrown headfirst into real-world challenges. Professors are industry veterans, not just academics, and they bring their practical experience into the classroom. You'll be building prototypes, collaborating on projects with companies, and even testing your ideas in the field. By the time you graduate, you won't just have a degree, you'll have a portfolio of real-world experience that makes the transition from student to professional seamless.

Aarhus Bss review

First of all, the university is nowhere near as international as it portrays itself to be; there are less international students than you would expect. In terms of the teachers, I can honestly say I had one good teacher per semester. The others ranged from bad to completely unprofessional. Also with the planning of exams and classes, it sometimes made me wonder how the people behind this can be a part of the management department. However, on the bright side, I did like the idea of working in study groups and having to do all sorts of projects - that helps with the practical aspects of teaching. Another thing that I'd praise is the cafeteria, as they offer fresh and diverse food.
