Aura Raquel Robayo, 6th semester, Business Administration and Service Management:
"I usually don’t wear this much make-up, but I have worked at a make-up store, and for me wearing make-up is a way to express my mood."
Bjarne Ørsnes, Associate Professor at Department of Management, Society and Communication:
"I teach German – at least for the moment. The language programs are being closed, and I little in doubt about what I will do in the future, but I’m sure something will come up."
Marco Romano, 4th semester, Business, Language and Culture:
"I’m on my way to a meeting right now. I’m currently a manager at a night club in Copenhagen, and I also work for Scoop Models. You got to earn some money beside the studies."
Louise Fawcett, Administrative Staff at Campus Desk Solbjerg Plads.
"We have nicknames here. So I’m called ‘Kommandusen’ just like the bossy woman at the poorhouse in Emil from Lönneberg, and my colleague is named Musen. I’m not at all bossy, though."
Andrea Baldin, waiting for a post-doc contract:
"I arrived to Copenhagen in the middle of April, and it was freezing. Back in Venice, where I’m from, it was 20 degrees at the same time. But at least you’ve got the long, light evenings, when you have overcome the winter."
Kelly Olsson, 2nd semester, Business, Language and Culture:
"When my studies began last September, I was living in Malmö and had to commute back and forth. It was Hell. It took so much time because of the border control. Now I’m living in Nørrebro, Copenhagen and it's lovely."
Esben Fransø, Coordinator at Facilities Maintenance Centre:
"When the students are having their intro week, some of them wants to borrow the megaphone. Unfortuneately, it’s only for evacuations and such, so I always have to say no."
Isabella Munch-Petersen, 2nd semester, Business, Language and Culture:
"I’m always touching and playing with my hair, and my friends sometimes get nuts about it."
Usama Mir, Student Assistant at the IT Department:
"Sometimes after work my colleagues and I go and eat cheesecake together around the city. The best cheesecakes you find at Bertels here on Frederiksberg. I can recommend the one with lemon."
The government’s idea of reducing half of all master’s programmes to 75 ECTS, mostly within the humanities and social sciences, has met scepticism and concern at CBS. “I don’t hear anyone applauding this idea,” says Nanna Mik-Meyer, chair of the Professor's Association at CBS.

On Thursday, Christina Egelund, Minister for Higher Education and Science, from Moderaterne (The Moderates) presented the first batch of the government’s long awaited – and dreaded – education reform plans.

Twenty-five Ukrainian students will have the chance to attend courses at CBS for free this summer.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but can a new name make a university department better? Mitchell Dean believes so. As his department changes name, he is aiming for new research collaborations and a stronger focus on the problems that businesses and society are facing. “We are giving students capacities to make a difference through their professional lives. And I think that’s what the current generation of students want: they want to contribute to positive social transformation.”

University management, students and experts from across Denmark are coming together in a new alliance that aims to make students feel better. “It’s a conversation we need to be having,” says deputy president Inger Askehave, who represents CBS in the alliance.

Sebastian Zenker is sometimes wondering why the government has not called. He has first-hand experience of changing a master’s programme from two years to one, which is exactly what the Danish government plans to do with its education reform plans. But so far, nobody has asked for his input.

Sometimes you don’t have to create a brand-new concept to win awards. You can just tweak an existing industry formula to increase flexibility and reach more customers. That was exactly what university students Hasan El Youssef and Elmar J. Johannsson did when they started TopTutors in 2021. A concept that secured them the CBS Startup Award in November 2022, which comes with a grant of DKK 75,000 to help them scale up their business.

Algorithms have a hold on the stock markets that has fuelled the need for regulation. But how do we regulate what we don’t understand? The second generation of trading algorithms are designing their own investment strategies – and they are so complicated that we are unable to understand them.
