Welcome to BSc BLC

On this page, you can find the full programme for the introduction week at your study programme, as well as contact information and links to social media.

Remember to keep yourself up to date as changes may occur up until the introduction week.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you all when you start your new studies after the summer!

Welcome from your guides

Welcome to CBS and to Business, Language and Culture! Hola, Bonjour, Hallo! 

We hope you are as excited as we are to have a fun introweek and a great upcoming semester! We know that you might feel a little nervous right now, but we can assure you that after the introweek you will feel a lot better, after you have gotten to know us (your fun and cool fresh guides) and your fellow freshies!  

We have prepared an introduction week for all of you guys where you will get to know the new students, CBS and the BLC program. The introweek will prepare you for both the social and academic part of university and we therefore strongly recommend that you take part in it! We are super excited to welcome you into the BLC-family and show you how much fun it is to be a part of the community! 

We have made a facebook group for the whole BLC 24′ so if you scroll down and click on the facebook icon you could join the group and already find your fellow new students!

We hope to see you all there! 

Kind regards,  

Olle Bonnedahl & Kristine Aass Rud 

Welcome from Programme Director

Dear class of 2024,

Welcome to BLC!

The BLC program is looking forward to engaging with you over the coming three years.

University is a great place to experience the junction between intellectual activity, social interaction, and societal engagement, and will give you a unique opportunity to develop your skills, abilities and values.

You have chosen a program, which in 2024 celebrates its 40 years anniversary. The BLC will provide you with deep knowledge of a wide range of business economic, political, and intercultural issues in the context of international business and sustainability, and your chosen language area. The programme will prepare you for further studies and/or the job market.

As you probably already know, you will be the last BLC cohort, as CBS has made a strategic decision to phase out programmes with languages. Nevertheless, the CBS is deeply committed to make sure that your education experience over the coming three years will be of the same quality as that of previous BLC cohorts!

My warmest wishes for you and your cohort,

Michael W. Hansen
Programme Director

Read more about the Kick Off

The Kick Off is the last day of intro and your first day as an bachelor student. Here you will get to know your fellow students better – both academically and socially –  and learn more about student life with the nine competences that run like a common thread throughout your studies at CBS. The Kick Off ends with a semester start party for all students! 

The theme for the day is Nordic Nine, which are the nine competences that are the most important skills – besides the learning from your programme – you achieve while at CBS. With Nordic Nine, CBS wants to inspire you to help solve society’s challenges with consideration for yourself, for others and for the planet. At the Nordic Nine Fair, you can talk to other students, teachers and representatives from the business world about how Nordic Nine can be used in practice and help make your education something extraordinary. 

We will provide delicious meals from food trucks and good company. If you want to play football in the afternoon, you can sign up, and otherwise you can cheer with the others before the Semester Start Celebration with live music and DJ.
