CBS student? Check what we need from you:
If you indicate your CPR number and your bachelor degree correctly, when you apply, we do not need any further information on your bachelor degree. This means:
*If you apply for "your own" graduate programme (MSc EBA/cand.merc. excepted), we do not need any further information from you.
*If you apply for MSc EBA/cand.merc. as "your own" graduate programme, it may be an advantage for you to upload documentation on your electives (your status from E-campus is fine) and/or your bachelor project (and any extra courses you may have done outside CBS), as this may be important in connection to the selection criteria at the concentrations at MSc EBA/cand.merc.: Selection Criteria. Also, please remember to check if you fulfil the language requirement.
*If you apply for the MSocSc/cand.soc. or if you do not apply for "your own" graduate programme (i.e. you do not have direct qualifying degree), please follow the directions given below.
