My experience at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) my is vastly different from what university life was like for me in Singapore.

At Singapore Management University, we’re used to the seminar-based pedagogy whereas at CBS, it was mostly interactive lectures and tutorials for some of the modules. The class sizes were definitely a lot bigger, and it was interesting to see how they offered some of the modules for exchange students exclusively.

Some of the group work also mandated that the groups should consist of students from various continents, nationalities and ethnicities. So overall, I think that the exchange programme at CBS catered rather well to exchange students in helping them network and connect with students from all over the world.

I guess this is something that our local universities could adopt as well to not only ease the transition for the exchange students, but also allow local students to broaden their horizons from the perspectives offered by those abroad.
