This guide explains how applicants without direct access to a Master's Programme can create a new application for UCPH in the online application portal quickly and effectively.
Login to the application portal
- Find the link to the application portal on the relevant programme website.
- If you have a login for a Danish university, you can click on the button labelled "Login" on the welcome page and choose your university from the list given to log in.
- If you do not have a login from a Danish university, you need to create a new user profile. Read about how to create a user profile here.
Create an application
- Click on the tab "Create application". Choose "University of Copenhagen" as institution and "Master" as type.
- You can do a targeted search by typing a keyword into the "Degree/course name" field, then click "Search".
- Choose the programme to which you wish to apply, and check the checkbox for it. If necessary, choose a secondary subject. Then click "Proceed to create the application".
- Click "Proceed to create the application" again on the next page.
Note: If you used a direct link from a programme website, the relevant programme will be pre-selected for you in steps 1-3 above.

Collect your data from a Danish university database
- If you have a degree from a Danish university, you can choose to import that data to the application if available. Read more about data collection here.
Complete and submit application
- Click on the button "Next" to move from tab to tab.
- On the tab "Person", enter your phone number.
- On the tab "Programme of study", upload a statement of purpose if your programme requests it. If the programme does not request it, the question will not be there. Answer any other questions on the tab.
- On the tab "Requirements and prerequisites", you must make sure that documentation for your Bachelor's Degree is correctly uploaded. There are two fields, one for completed degrees and one for in-progress degrees, and you can choose either of them for upload. Read more here.
- Further down on the tab "Requirements and prerequisites", there are other questions you must answer, which will vary from programme to programme. If your degree is not from a Danish institution, you must attach information about credit system and course descriptions. Make sure all fields are correctly filled with answers and documentation.
- At the end of the tab "Requirements and prerequisites", answer the question about credit transfer appropriately and upload documentation if necessary. Read more about credit transfer here.
- Once all tabs are complete, click "Next" until you reach the tab "Send application".
Important! Click "Submit application". Only then has the application been submitted.
