Inspiration und Impact – Das sagen unsere Alumni
Lass dich von den Erfahrungen unserer Alumni inspirieren und entdecke, wie das Studium an der CBS ihre berufliche und persönliche Entwicklung geprägt hat.
"CBS was more than just a study program for me – it was my entrepreneurial playground. Through founding the CBS Finance Club and starting my first business during my semester abroad, I was able to explore my entrepreneurial side. The most valuable part was the network I built, which introduced me to my first employer, now my mentor and business partner. For over six years, we’ve been shaping leadership development together – an invaluable network."
"The practical learning experience in small groups effectively prepared me for today’s project-based work and teamwork, sharpening my professional skills. At CBS, I not only acquired essential soft skills but also gained up-to-date practical knowledge that directly supported my personal and professional growth. This combination has been invaluable in helping me successfully launch my career and confidently navigate the challenges of the professional world."
"My studies at CBS International Business School provided me with the ideal foundation for my career in consulting. The practical projects, in which we gained insights into major consulting firms, including the Big Four, were particularly valuable. The combination of theory, practice, and international exchange has thoroughly prepared me for the challenges in management consulting."
"I particularly appreciated the personal character of the program and the pleasant atmosphere, which were fostered by the small class sizes and the close collaboration with the lecturers. This close-knit support system not only significantly enhanced my learning process but also allowed me to focus on developing my skills in a more targeted and effective way."
