Copenhagen Business School MiM Fees 2026

CBS does not market a programme literally called "MSc in Management". The closest equivalent — and the degree most applicants searching for a CBS MiM are looking at — is the MSc in Economics and Business Administration, the Danish cand.merc., a two-year general-management master's offered across a dozen concentrations (General Management and Analytics, Strategy, Finance and Strategic Management, Management of Innovation and Business Development, and others). It is the entry point you apply to from abroad. CBS's CEMS Master in International Management is a selective one-year track studied on top of an eligible cand.merc — not a separate degree you apply to directly.

Tuition is free for citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland — Denmark does not charge tuition to students from these countries. Non-EU/EEA students pay EUR 8,000 per semester (DKK 60,000), which is EUR 16,000 per year and roughly EUR 32,000 (DKK 240,000) over the full two-year programme. Living costs in Copenhagen are high — budget around DKK 9,000–12,000 per month for rent, food and transport. Even at the fee-paying rate the cand.merc is cheaper than most two-year MiMs at HEC Paris or Bocconi.

Founded in 1917, CBS is one of Europe's largest business schools and holds the "triple crown" of AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA accreditation. It is deeply embedded in the Nordic and Northern-European economy: graduates move into management consulting, finance, technology and the strategy functions of large Danish and Scandinavian corporates — shipping, pharmaceuticals, renewables and consumer goods are Denmark's signature sectors. CBS does not publish a Financial-Times-style weighted salary figure for the cand.merc, so we don't quote one; confirm current outcomes with CBS Career Services and the programme page.
