The teaching and learning processes in and outside the lecture halls differ from business schools in some other countries, and CBS students must be prepared to take part in project group work.
The purpose of this learning process is to develop and consolidate the students’team working skills and their ability to function in groups, as well as their ability to form critical and independent opinions.
Another aspect of the CBS teaching philosophy is to encourage students to take frequent and active part in class discussions on any given subject. This also means that the students should be prepared to present case studies for their fellow students.
