Prerequisites

Course prerequisites

Make sure that you fulfil the prerequisites stated in the course catalogue, for the course(s) you wish to apply for, before you apply. Please note that it is your own responsibility to make sure that you fulfil the course prerequisites.

Academic recommendations

Academic level

ISUP courses are regular university courses taught in English at undergraduate or graduate level. This means that the academic level is equal to the ordinary CBS elective courses.

However, you can only choose the courses that your study board has approved for your study. Only the approved courses are visible for you in the Online Student Service.

Level of English Proficiency

ISUP students are not required to submit any proof of English proficiency. Since all courses are taught in English and at a high academic level, it is highly recommended to have a strong command in both oral and written English, otherwise it might be difficult to follow the courses and pass the exams. The ISUP secretariat recommends all students to have an English proficiency corresponding to any of the tests and certificates listed below;

  • Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English (CAE): minimum result of 185
  • Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE): minimum of 185
  • IELTS Academic Test: minimum result of 7.0
  • TOEFL iBT: minimum result of 94

Eligibility

Positive lists for CBS bachelor students taking elective courses include only undergraduate courses in the Online Student Service, and positive lists for CBS master students taking elective courses include only graduate courses in the Online Student Service.

Course selection

Selecting courses

  • Even though the system may allow you to sign up for more courses, you may maximum choose two (6-week) electives OR one (3-week) elective. These are actual course registrations and not priorities. Note that the course registration and assignment for students taking electives is done on a first come, first served basis (ongoing registration, i.e. courses will be closed as they fill up and reopen when students deregister).
  • You can only see the electives approved by your study board when applying for ISUP electives.
  • Read the course descriptions in the course catalogue very carefully to make sure that you fulfil the course prerequisites.
  • To make sure there are no time conflicts between your courses, please check the course and exam timetables in the section Courses and exams.
  • Students can maximum take two 6-week courses at ISUP (max 15 ECTS) since the workload per course amounts to 206 hours (the workload for two courses is more than a full time job). Short 3-week courses cannot be taken together with any other course - neither another 3-week course nor an ordinary 6-week course.
  • Please note the type of exam for each course. A "home assignment" exam runs in parallel with the course and will start on the first day of teaching. All the exams of the type "home assignment" will take place simultaneously. That means your exam submissions must be handed in on the same day and time. If you do not wish to have two simultaneous home assignments, please choose other courses with another exam type. Neither the time nor the exam type will be changed.

Course withdrawal

CBS Elective Students can withdraw no later than 26 May 2023 at 23:59 (end of third application round) through the Online Student Service. After deadline your registration is binding and you must apply for an exemption to withdraw. There have to be unusual circumstances in order to receive an exemption. Further information at my.cbs.dk. Any questions regarding withdrawal from electives must be directed to Student Hub.
