Studying humanities at CBS
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Overall a great experience. Lots of networking and learning opportunities. Approx. 40% of my class was composed of international students. However, the language barrier can be challenging to overcome.
Good but can be better 💪🏽
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
My overall experience has been good. The university has good and passionate teachers. On top of that they help students to develop and evolve there career path through job fairs. CBS could do better in one thing in my opinion which is providing more facilities that students can use to work out.
