DENMARK – CBS, COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL

School support:

Vacant internships are mostly presented at the job site Career Gate (here).

At CBS, the Career Centre counsels students when they are looking for an internship. However, it is a challenge to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills. Companies often employ students as part-time workers or cooperate through study-based projects. In recent years, companies in the finance and consulting industry have offered some summer internships or in the early autumn semester.

Internships have grown more popular in recent years, and CPs such as Arla Foods and Novo Nordisk often offer internships to English-speakers.

The CBS Career Centre offers a lot of company-related events, careers fairs, etc., where students can meet different companies and ask for an internship, and the PM often sends out internship opportunities from CPs via email to students.

Contact:

To contact the Career Centre at CBS go to their offices at Solbjerg Plads (SPs06) or write an email to: careers@cbs.dk

Legislation:

There are no problems for EU and US citizens concerning Danish employment laws. The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the company. Alternatively, they may demand that the student himself or herself pays the insurance costs. It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out too many papers demanded by your home university. Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them. CBS has no formal overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market.

Further information:

There are no official sites dedicated to vacant internships in Denmark. Look at the CBS Career Gate!

Requested documents: Residence and work permit, proof of study at CBS, up-to-date CV.

For graduates:

A person can get an internship even after graduation from the home school. However, it is very rare that students ask this.
