Soon it will be time to start applying to Universities and Colleges for next year. For some schools the process might have already started, but for CBS the process does not end until the beginning of March (the exact dates varies depending on your nationality and prior education, for more info regarding admission dates see: http://www.cbs.dk/en/study/bachelor/admission/undergraduate-admission-step-3). Nevertheless, I thought I would give you some tips regarding what to think about when applying to CBS. Quotas When applying to CBS, you first and foremost need to go to the CBS.dk homepage to see which quota you belong to since that will have implications…

As we are approaching Christmas, exams are getting closer, i.e. constant stress and lack of sleep. But who am I to complain? In all honestly, the rate of this semester has been surprisingly slow and after two hectic years of university a “break” was exactly what I needed to get the “I love school” – spirit back.

This semester (the 5th semester) the students at CBS can go on exchange all around the world. However, since my program includes language we are only allowed to…

However the end of this semester is coming closer, which means that it´s soon time for exams. I am currently working with a project that is due on Monday so this post might be one of the boring kind. A couple…

Hello Everybody! StudyAdvantage has now expanded globally, which is super fun and exciting if you ask me! I thought I would kick of this blog with an introduction about myself (just as I did for the Swedish version). I´m well aware that there is a short introduction about myself at the top of the blog but I thought we should personalize this a little bit more. Here we go! My name is Filippa Torstendahl and I am born and raised in a small town just outside of Stockholm, Sweden, together with my family (mother, father, brother and my beloved cat).…
