As a bachelor with reserved access to the programme, you are guaranteed a place if you apply within the normal application deadlines.

You need to create an application in the application portal. This is the only way to apply for admission - even if you already received a dispensation to complete courses for your MSc programme before you finish your bachelor's degree.

Get your documentation through data exchange

If you have completed or expect to complete your bachelor’s degree with reserved access, you do not need to upload other documentation than your transcript and/or your national ID. You can authorize automatic data exchange to collect data from your educational background at UCPH.

To the best of our knowledge, we will let you know if anything is missing. We will send you a message in the application portal.

Copy or scan of passport/national ID

You must upload a copy or scan of your valid passport or national ID.

If you do not have a passport or a national ID, you must upload a statement of when you expect to receive it. A driver's license is not sufficient and will not be accepted.

The identification document must be in English, Danish, Swedish or Norwegian and include:

• Photo
• Your full name
• Date of birth
• Nationality
• Expiration date

Deadline to upload your copy or scan of passport or national ID: 1 September

You are obliged to inform us of former master’s courses/programmes

You must upload documentation if you have completed courses or exams from an unfinished MSc programme. We use the documentation to assess whether you are eligible for a mandatory credit transfer.

You are also obligated to inform us whether you have completed an MSc Programme. Read more about the master’s degree admission rule.

If it turns out that you have used falsified or otherwise misleading documentation in your application, we are obliged to report this to the police and cancel your admission.

You can submit 3 applications for UCPH

Please note that you are only allowed to submit a maximum of 3 applications to study programs across all faculties at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) for the same intake.

Any additional applications will be cancelled by the MSc admission office.

Keep track of your application

Once you have applied for admission, you will receive updates and messages from us in the application portal. When you receive a message in the application portal, a notification will be sent to the email you have registered in your application. Please note that emails may end up in your spam filter.

We recommend that you do not use your student email when creating your application as some universities terminate student accounts once a student has completed their degree.

Before courses start in September, we have made an online part of your study start. Here you will find an overview of activities and begin the first part of your introduction to your MSc with our online course.

The welcome programme at your MSc will take place 26 – 30 August – the week before your courses start. Here you will meet your new fellow students and get introductions to your MSc programme.

We will send you all information concerning your study start to the email you have used in the application portal.

From May to August, we will be sending welcome letters with access to our online course, which prepares you to start your new MSc programme and register for courses. You will also hear from us when you can register for welcome days at your programme.

You must register for courses in the same way as you did during your bachelor's.

To be sure to get a place on the courses, you need to register in the ordinary registration period.

You can use the late-registration period to change your course registrations.

You will receive further information on how and when to register for courses, when you are admitted.

SCIENCE Student Services is ready to help you with your course registrations.

When you apply for admission to a master’s programme, you need to reapply for a state education grant. Read more about state education grants on www.su.dk.
