Each semester, the University of Copenhagen offers a wide range of courses taught in English at either bachelor (BA) or master (MA/MSc) level.

The online course catalogue lists all courses available at the University of Copenhagen. The full list of courses will be available 2–3 months before the semester starts.


When searching in the course catalogue ...

1. Select the appropriate study level (e.g., bachelor, master), academic year, and semester/block.

2. Check the "Courses for exchange students" checkbox, so that you view the courses open to exchange students.

Courses for exchange students

Semester or block structure?

Most faculties run courses in either the autumn or spring semester. However, both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences also use a block structure, where semesters are divided into blocks.

Blocks 1 and 2 are in the autumn semester, blocks 3 and 4 are in the spring semester.

If you choose courses with the block structure, make sure that you do not take more than 15 ECTS per block. You should also make sure courses offered in the same block are not placed in the same schedule group (i.e., taught at the same time). You can see which block the courses are offered in and their schedule group in the course catalogue.

Preliminary course plan

We recommend that students look at the courses offered in English this semester or the previous semester in order to make a preliminary plan for their studies in Copenhagen.

In the online course catalogue, you will find previous courses for the last two academic years.

If you are a bachelor student in the last year of your bachelor degree, you can consider courses offered at master's level, since some departments are willing to accept student's in the last year of their bachelor studies.
