Welcome from Study Director

Welcome to the the CBS Business Administration and Sociology (“Soc”) program, and welcome to the Soc community.

I am Anders Sevelsted, your Study Director, and I am very pleased to extend a warm welcome to each of you on behalf of our dedicated academic faculty and the Study Board.

We have had the privilege of reviewing your applications and we are thrilled to see such a diverse and intellectually vibrant group of students from all around the world. We are excited to start this educational journey with you, beginning with classes in September 2025, and we look forward to three enriching years together.

A quick heads-up: The Soc program kicks off with an introductory week from 25th to 29th of August 2025. This week is packed with academic and social activities, designed by Soc students to help you get to know your peers, familiarize yourself with CBS, and navigate your way around beautiful Copenhagen. Make sure you are there! It will be a lot of fun, and you do not want to miss it!
