Campus Conversation #89: Exchange semester at CBS in Copenhagen

From September to December, Syra, host of the HSG Student
Podcast, spent her exchange semester in Denmark. She studied at
Copenhagen Business School and gained a wealth of experience both
academically and personally.


In this special episode, Syra reflects on her time abroad, shares
her biggest learnings, and gives practical tips for students
planning an exchange. She also shares her thoughts on the Danish
social system and highlights memorable moments such as
participating in Open Innovation Copenhagen and travelling to
Finnish Lapland.


The conversation emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary
and intercultural exchange. Syra explains why stepping out of
your own bubble matters and how living and studying abroad can
broaden your horizons.


Joining the episode is Annalena Kalb, a SIM Master’s student at
HSG who is also on exchange in Copenhagen. She shares her own
perspective, reflects on life in the city, and encourages
students to embrace the opportunity to study abroad.


As they say: To be world-class, you need the world in your class.
