Guide to ap­plic­a­tion portal

Once you are logged in to the ap­plic­a­tion portal, you can start cre­at­ing your ap­plic­a­tion. First you will see 3-4 tabs. A tab named "User in­form­a­tion" will only be vis­ible to self-re­gistered users.

Tab 1: Cre­ate ap­plic­a­tion

  • Your name, civil registration number and e-mail address will be at the top of this page
  • Under "Choose place of education", you choose Copenhagen Business School

    Single subject as a guest student: choose this option if you are enrolled in another educational institution and want to have the courses you take at CBS credit transferred to your own study programme.

    Student Place Vacancy: choose this option if you want take single courses af CBS which you will be paying for yourself.

Then click "Search" and a list of available types of education will appear: 

  • Choose either the bachelor or graduate and click on the button "Create application"
  • At the next step, you state your nationality. This field is filled in per default, so please proceed by clicking "Create application"
  • You have now moved to the next step in the application process. A process bar will inform you of the different steps before you can submit your application.

    Please note that you cannot navigate the process by using the "back" and "forward" buttons on the browser. Instead, you must navigate back and forth by using the process bar.

Non EU/EEA citizen

Please note! If your nationality is not Danish or Nordic, you have to provide documentation of a residence permit in Denmark. Later on in the application, you need to provide this documentation.  

Explanation for selected steps in the process bar

Person
In the step "Person", some of your data will already have been retrieved from your WAYFlogin. Just state your telephone number and a private address, on which we can reach you.  

You will be presented to the abbreviations: WAYF, MAN, and DANS. This means that your information already has been retrieved via different systems (WAYF and DANS), or that you have to enter them yourself manually (MAN).  

Requirements and prerequisites
If you apply as a credit transfer student, you must upload your preapproval here. If you do not have your preapproval yet, select the option “Will be forwarded later”. If you choose this option, you will receive an e-mail about when you will be able to access your application again to upload your preapproval. The preapproval is a prerequisite for admission to a course as a credit transfer student and must be uploaded before semester start. 

If you apply as a single course student (Student Place Vacancy),  you will not be asked for a preapproval. 

Nationality
If you have stated that you are a non-EU/EEA citizen but you have a residence permit, you will be asked to upload documentation for this.

Other  
Now you need to fill out how many courses you wish to apply for. It is very important that you only write numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4. If you are a credit transfer student, you can only choose the number of courses that you can get credit transfered to your studies.

You now have to fill in which courses you want to apply for:

  • You can choose up to 8 priorities and these will be distributed according to the order of priority.
  • Each priority must contain a course code and title: eg. BHAAV2389U or CCMVV1583U. It may be a good idea to copy paste course codes directly from our homepage.
    Please note: in some cases the course code has prefix BA- or KAN- e.g. BA-BHAAV2389U or KAN-CCMVV1583U. This prefix should NOT be included in the application. 

You can find all courses offered in the given semester on cbs.dk 
=> See courses at bachelor level 
=> See courses at master level

You cannot apply for courses that are "cancelled" or "closed for further enrollment"

Tab 2: Check ap­plic­a­tion status

If you have not previously created any applications, the page is empty.

If you have previously created one or more applications, you can see them here, and you can follow applications that have already been submitted.

Tab 3: Mes­sages

Here you can read messages from the caseworker.

Tab. 4: User in­form­a­tion (only vis­ible to self-re­gistered users)
