Courses

Guest students can attend all courses held at the department if these are not already fully booked. There is not a set course programme designed exclusively for guest students, so you can choose to follow any course on offer.

Study Information System

You can find information about the courses offered each semester in the Study Information System (SIS). The listings contain a description of the course, as well as the lecturer, room number and relevant times. If you are unable to find the information you need in SIS, please contact  an international student counsellor.

Information about your courses in the e-learning platform Absalon

Once you have chosen the courses you want to follow, you register for them via Absalon, which is the e-learning platform of the University of Copenhagen. You can access Absalon through the left panel when you login to your KUnet-account, the student self-service center.

It is important that you register for your courses' Absalon "sites" as teachers upload reading material, hand-outs, as well as information about semester plans and cancellations. Please note that registering for a course in Absalon is not the same as formally signing up for courses and exams. 

Exchange and guest students follow the same courses as Danish students and may sit exams just as any other student.

Danish Courses

As an exchange student you should know enough Danish to follow classes taught in Danish. Each semester, the department offers special credit-producing Danish courses for foreigners. Read more about the courses - and how you sign up for them - here 

If you want to take language courses outside the University of Copenhagen, we recommend Studieskolen - based on former exchange students' testimonials. You cannot transfer credits from Studieskolen's courses, but they may be useful if you wish to enrol as a full degree student as full degree students are expected to have advanced knowledge of Danish.
