International Bachelor’s degree

As a citizens from a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland, you can apply for admission based on 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 academic admission requirements. This means that they automatically fulfill the academic admission requirements. See the list of bachelor’s degrees that automatically fulfil the academic admission requirements.

  • If your degree does not fulfill the academic admission requirements automatically, the Admissions Committee will evaluate your application and assess if your degree can meet the academic admission requirements based on its academic content.

You can only get an answer to whether or not your degree meets the academic admission requirement by applying for admission at the MSc Programme. Solely the Admissions Committee can evaluate whether you are qualified or not. They do this once they have received your application.

Tuition fees

Citizens from a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland must pay tuition fees. The fee is DKK 75,000.00 per academic year.

Tips for the Application Portal

  • Use Firefox or Goggle Chrome as your browser when creating and submitting your application.
  • Check the user guide for the application portal when you fill out your application.
  • Read the FAQ where you can find answers to the most common questions concerning the Application Portal.
  • Contact the Student Advisory Service if you cannot find the answers, you are looking for in the FAQ.
    Contact the MSc Admissions Team at the Faculty of Social Sciences if you have technical problems.

Technical challenges

If you are having trouble logging into the Application Portal or encounter other technical difficulties when applying, please contact the Faculty of Social Sciences by e-mailing admissions@samf.ku.dk. The e-mail should include a description of the problem in question as well as one or more screen dumps that illustrate the problem in question.

Program errors on your own computer and technical difficulties in general, including troubles with logging in, that result in the fact that you are unable to submit your application before the deadline for applications, are not considered to be valid reasons for not applying before the deadline for application. Only the fact that the Application Portal itself fails will be considered as a valid reason for not applying before the deadline for applications. In such cases, make a screen dump which indicates the date and time of your attempt to submit your application as well as the error message displayed and e-mail this to admissions@samf.ku.dk.

The Application Portal is a nationwide online application system, which is used by most of the universities in Denmark. You should therefore expect that the server is very busy on a regular basis - especially close to the deadline for applications. If many applicants are attempting to log into the Application Portal simultaneously, you may experience login issues and other problems when attempting to submit your application etc. If this result in the fact that you are unable to submit your application before the deadline for applications, your application are not considered, as this is not considered to be a valid reason for not applying before the deadline for applications.

We, thus, recommend that you apply as soon as possible when the Application Portal opens.
