Thank you for the video! I applied for the Master program recently. Also great point about making sure to add technical studies into a business degree.

Es muy útil tu información Mario! Soy Uruguayo (con pasaporte español) y quiero entrar a un Bachelor degree, estudio en la Universidad ORT al momento pero por temas monetarios voy a tener que dejarlo, por lo cual estoy preparando el toefl y ahorrando para poder mudarme a Dinamarca y aplicar a la CBS, ver a un rioplatense contar su experiencia, me da motivación, muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia!

Grande Mario, unos amigos y yo estamos actualmente en Italia esperando a que nos responda CBS el 10 de Junio con respecto a sus MSc de economia y finanzas. Gracias por el video!

Hi Mario, thanks for your content. Being a Spanish student applying for a Bachelor, what's your recommended initial budget I'd need until I get settled (CPR, job, SU, etc.)?

[tini_style]

Hi Mario; as always, thanks for the great video. Would you be so kind to tell us which are the key elements to focus on to make the application stand out in order to be admitted into a Master's degree? Bachelor grades, previous work experience...? Thanks and greetings from an AIESECer!

What is the duration for Master’s programme and MBA programme separately?

[agustinasofia]

Hola Mario! Gracias por el video! Qué estudiaste en Argentina? Yo estudié guion de cine en una escuela técnica que califica como terciario (ENERC) Pero me metí después en Marketing / ventas y tengo ganas de hacer un máster en eso. Tenés idea si puedo hacerlo, o tengo que hacer un Bachelor Degree primero? Gracias!

May i know, Can international students study HHX subjects there and is it free education for International students (non-Europe students) to learn HHX ?
Thank you very much. Hoping for a reply ❤😊

Hola Mario. Buena información la dada y gracias por el video. Por momentos tenía entendido que la universidad era gratuita para los europeos (poseo la nacionalidad Croata). Sin embargo, veo que mencionas que hay masters que son gratuitos (aquí no entra el MBA). ¿Cuales serían esos y cual recomendarías? YO estudié comunicación y los últimos tres años he trabajado en consultoría y Relaciones Públicas en empresas que querían promover sus iniciativas en Sostenibilidad.

Un saludo desde Lima!

I've never heard of jointly writing a thesis with another student -- maybe that's a educational/cultural norm/phenomenon in Denmark/Scandinavia

Hi, I have 3.23 in bachelor . Will be able to get admission in CBS? With management and finance background CBS is the only option for me in Copenhagen.

[hiroki]

Hi Mario, my apologies if I missed this but if you moved from Argentina to Denmark for a Master's program how come your CBS tuition was free?
Did you get a scholarship from CBS? How easy is it for non-EU students to get a scholarship from CBS?

[martinlupa]

Hi Mario! I am not studying at CBS but I am an MSc student at ITU. Do you have any information on grants/financing for both the research project and/or thesis? For what kind of concepts can you ask for financing? I am trying to get some more information by asking school and fellow students, but I though you might have some. Thanks!

Is it difficult to adjust if you only know english, or while seeking a job?

[bhattarailasmee]

Hi sir !
I am BBA graduate student from Nepal . I want to pursue my MBA from your school but today i got my IELTS result where i got overall 6 band in IELTS . My bachelor's CGPA is 3.33 . Can you please suggest me whether i should apply for denmark or should I regive exam? I was dreaming of studying in your school but the IELTS result disappointed me so bad 😭😭😭.

[christelle]

Hi Mario, is relevant working experience required when applying for the master program?

[juanmarino]

Hi Mario, great video! I’m an 18 years old student from Buenos Aires and I’m willing to move Denmark through my University. Would you think you can make a living while studying full time at CBS? I’m wondering either if I would be able to stand by myself or not.

[aubreyquinney]

It’s crazy how I watched one of your videos and thought to myself “I’d love one on the business school” even though I know you’ve done one before on studying in Denmark, and it just went live! Insane! I’m in the UK (&French) thinking of moving there in the future!

[tayyabarajput]

What about PhD in business administration

[MagnusKregnesHansen]

Hi Mario!
From what I have seen, there isn’t any available data on the GPA requirements for the masters degree at CBS. Is your impression that the requirements for GPA from your bachelors degree are strict?
My thoughts are that it is around minimum 3, 5 GPA(B) for the application to be deemed valid.
