Personal comments

I haven't had any problem to communicate with danish people (as I didn't speak danish when I arrived) since they all have a very good level of english. It is very different from France, where people have a strong accent, and don't always have the basic skills. Therefore we had a very good opportunity to improve our level of english during courses, with other erasmus students (as I was our common language) and with danish people.

Since the amount of time given was only half a year, there was no need to learn Danish, if it would have been more I would definitely have learned the local language

Course recommendations

All the courses I took were similar to those I would have chosen if I had stayed in Paris Dauphine. It was a way to not be "lost" when back to France. All courses I have taken in Denmark were really interesting

My academic experiences

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

We could have been more in interaction with danish students. Otherwise academic life in Denmark is very well organized (especially team projects) and the CBS is a great place to study (architecture, design...)

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course

Essays and/or projects throughout the course

If you decided to do an internship, i think you have to be very expansive adn try to meet a lot of people. You have also to not be so strict if you are in a residence with others guys... Try to travel a lot and know a lot about the country!!
