The University of Copenhagen

Applicants with an International Baccalaureate (IB) or other international diploma from countries which have signed the European Convention on the equivalence of diplomas leading to admission to universities are eligible to apply to the University of Copenhagen at the same conditions as Danish applicants.

The IB results are converted to the Danish grading scale according to the rules set by the Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation.

Applicants from other countries than those mentioned above will not be considered eligible for admission unless they have completed a secondary school and one to two years of university studies preferably in relevant subjects in their home countries. The University of Copenhagen offers Bachelor's degree programmes taught only in Danish. This is why all foreign applicants must be skilled in Danish.

All other foreign applicants must pass the Danish language test before being admitted as a university student. The required Danish test is: "Studieprøven i dansk som andetsprog".

A number of Master's (graduate level) degree programmes are taught in English. Admission to a Master's degree programme requires a relevant Bachelor's degree as a minimum.

Enrolment takes place once a year - on 1st September. The only exception to this rule is the degree course in Economics where students are usually enrolled twice a year - on 1st September and 1st February.

The online application form with all the necessary documentation must be completed and submitted by 15th March. Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
