Every semester, the University of Copenhagen offers a range of popular courses that are open to all international students, regardless of their field of study. Many of the courses focus on issues relating to Danish culture, history, and society, while others can be of general interest to students.

There are no admission requirements for these courses, although there can be limited places.

Please note that the courses below are those we expect to offer. There can be changes in the courses offered up until the start of the semester.
