Academic Requirements
Admission Requirements
If you have completed a Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree or are enrolled in the final semester of a Bachelor\xc2\x92s programme you are eligible to apply for the Master\xc2\x92s programme in Computer Science.
Regardless of what university you are enrolled at, you can - if you meet the language requirements - apply on the basis of a Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree that grants direct access or another relevant Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree.
Bachelor\xc2\x92s degrees that grant direct access
If you hold one of the degrees listed below, you are considered to meet all admission requirements and have direct access to apply to the Master\xc2\x92s programme in Computer Science.
- BSc in Computer Science from the University of Copenhagen (reserved access*)
- BSc in Computer Science from Aalborg University
- BSc in Computer Science from Aarhus University
- BSc in Computer Science from the University of Southern Denmark
- BSc in Science and IT with the MSc admission course package in Computer Science from the University of Copenhagen
* If your Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree grants reserved access, you are guaranteed a place on the Master\xc2\x92s programme if you apply before the application deadline during the first application period after you complete your Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree.
Other Bachelor\xc2\x92s degrees
If you have a Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree other than those listed above, you must submit additional documentation along with your application so the University can evaluate whether or not you meet the admission requirements.
If you have a Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree in:
- Mathematics from the University of Copenhagen
- Physics from the University of Copenhagen
