After completing the online application, you will have to upload a number of documents that will be listed at the end of the online application process or send them by post (see also below “What material do I have to submit?”). Please note the uploaded documents and will be processed faster.
For Nominated Exchange Students: nominated exchange students from non-EU/EEA partner universities will have to get their application receipt stamped and signed as their "nomination form" by their home university.
For European Freemovers – Credit transfer students: you will have to sumit a pre-approval of credit transfer that is stamped and signed by your home university, confirming that you will get credit for the ISUP coures you want to take in your current study program.

Should I apply for undergraduate or graduate courses?
Undergraduate courses are open to all students that as a minimum have finished two years of a Bachelor degree at university level.
Graduate courses are open to students that as a minimum hold a bachelor degree from a higher institution of education and have finished their first year of studies at master’s level.
How many courses can I apply for?
All international students must take two ISUP courses, unless enrolled in one three-week intensive graduate course.
When applying for ISUP you will have to choose two preferred courses as well as two alternative courses in case your first preference is fully booked or cancelled.
Courses that take place at the same time obviously cannot be taken together. It is therefore important and your responsibility to check that there are no time conflicts in the timetable of your first as well as second course choice.
Do I need to take an English Test?
If English is not your mother tongue, then you need to document that you can comprehend English to a good standard. The following English tests/exams are accepted:
  • TOEFL iBT test result of at least 91
  • TOEFL paper-based test result of at least 577
  • IELTS academic test result of at least 6.5
  • Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English passed
  • A complete bachelor degree done in English in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore,South Africa, UK or the US.

Please enclose documentation of your English skills with your application. You will only be accepted to the program once your application is complete.
What should I do if I encounter problems in completing the electronic application?
Please contact us at summer@cbs.dk in case you have any difficulties with the application system.
How quickly will a decision on my application be made?
Processing time of application can be anywhere from two to four weeks after the deadline.
What happens if I apply for a course that is fully booked?
If you apply for a course that is fully booked at the time of your application, then we will automatically substitute your first course priority with your second priority, as long as you meet the course prerequisites. This is also why it is very important that you check that there are no time conflicts between your first as well as second course priorities.
Will there be waiting lists for fully booked courses?
We do not offer waiting lists for ISUP courses, so we recommend that you read through our course offerings carefully to select suitable alternatives if you cannot enroll in your first preference.
