Bachelor’s degree from Denmark
Citizens from a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland
In order for you to be offered admission, you need to have a relevant bachelor's degree or another relevant degree at the same educational level.
- Some bachelor’s degrees have already been assessed to meet the admission requirements. See the list of Bachelor’s degrees that automatically fulfill the academic admission requirements.
- If your degree does not fulfill the academic admission requirements automatically, the admission committee will evaluate you application individually. This means that the admission committee will evaluate whether your degree meets the admission requirements based on its academic content.
If you are unsure whether your degree meets the admission requirements
You can only get an answer to whether or not your degree meets the admission requirement by applying for admission to the MSc Programme. Only the admission committee can evaluate whether you are qualified or not and they only do this once they have received your application.
No application fee
Citizens from a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland with a Danish Bachelor’s degree or a Danish Professional Bachelor’s degree are not required to pay an application fee.
Tuition fees
Citizens from a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland must pay tuition fees.

It is your bachelor’s degree and its academic contents, which determine whether you meet the admission requirements. You also have to fulfill the language requirement.
- Read about the admission- and language requirements before you apply for admission.

When you apply for admission, you need to create an application at the application portal and upload relevant documentation. This is the only way you can apply for admission.

Get your documentation via data exchange
If you are a student at a Danish university (UCPH, AU, AAU, SDU, RUC, ITU, DTU or CBS), we recommend that you collect the documentation of your Bachelor’s degree automatically using the data exchange function. You simply ask the system to collect your educational data from your university.

Application deadline: 15 January
You can submit 3 applications for UCPH
Please note that you may submit a maximum of 3 applications to UCPH study programs with the same study start.

Once you have applied for admission, you will find application updates and received messages from the University in the application portal. When you receive a message in the application portal, a notification will be sent to the mail address you have registered with your application.
Please note: Some universities close student accounts once a student has completed the degree. Therefore, we recommend that you use your personal email when you create your application.

Accept your offer of admission
If you have received an offer of conditional admission, you need to accept the offer. If you do not accept the offer before the deadline (which will be included in your conditional admission letter), you will lose your place in the MSc Programme. Therefore, it is important to check the status of your application regularly at the application portal.
After you have accepted the offer of conditional admission, you will receive an e-mail with all relevant information regarding your tuition fees.
Check your email regularly
When you receive a message in the application portal, a notification will be sent to to the mail account you have registered with your application. Please be aware that emails from the application portal may end up in your spam filter.
Have you accepted and offer of conditional admission?
To get your final admission to your MSc programme you need to pay the first part of your tuition fees. When you accept the offer of admission, we will send you an e-mail with a link to our payment portal and instructions on how to make the tuition fee payment.
Deadline for paying the first tuition fees : 15 April
If you fail to pay your first tuition fees before the deadline, we will have to cancel your admission.
We look forward to meeting you and to welcoming you to the MSc programme. Use the timeline to see the important deadlines before your studies begin.

The welcome programme at your MSc programme will take place 29 August – 2 September.
Keep a look out for messages in your email
We will send you all information concerning your first days at UCPH to the email that you used to register with in the application portal.
