Academic culture may be very different at a partner institution; Copenhagen Business School provides a rigorous academic experience to both local and visiting students, and you will be subject to their academic policies and procedures during your time at this institution. In many classes, the majority of your grade will be dependent on one final exam, paper, or presentation, and grading may be on a curve.
