Please note: You cannot follow courses that take place at the same time - exams will most likely also be held at the same time. It is therefore very important that you check the course schedule before selecting courses. Also note that all home assignments/mini projects (running in parallel with the course) will take place simultaneously. That means your exam submissions must be handed in on the same day and time.
NB! Short courses (3 weeks) cannot be taken together with any other course - neither another short course nor an ordinary 6 weeks course.
ISUP courses will be available in CBS Calendar on calendar.cbs.dk. You need CBS email account to access calendar.cbs.dk. NB! Until you receive your CBS email account you can find the course and exam schedules below under "Bachelor level courses 2022" and "Graduate level courses 2022" respectively.

Course changes and withdrawal
Switching courses
After the application round is over, there will be very limited possibilities to change courses. We will overbook all courses in relation to the number of places in each course. So even if someone else withdraws, this will not necessarily leave a place to be filled.
Course changes and cancellations
The ISUP course offer is subject to student interest and enrolment. Due to unforeseen circumstances there might be changes to the course offer which can happen up until the beginning of the programme. Changes will be communicated without delay.
Course withdrawal
Students can withdraw from courses depending on the student category.
- CBS Elective Students can withdraw on 15 March 2022 (end of second application round) at the latest through the Online Student Service. After deadline please contact your study board
- CBS Mandatory Students must get a dispensation from their Study Board
- Nominated Exchange Students must contact their coordinator who will afterwards contact us. Deadline for withdrawing is 13 June 2022
- Credit Transfer Students, Non-European Freemovers and Open University Students can withdraw by writing to isup@cbs.dk no later than 13 June 2022
Preliminary assignment and feedback activity
All courses include a Preliminary Assignment. The workload is approx. 20 hours.
For bachelor level courses: A generic test/assignment will be developed concering "Nordic Nine", same for all courses. It will be uploaded on Canvas at the end of May. Students are expected to access this assignment before classes begin. The assignment will not be reviewed in classes.
For graduate level courses: The course coordinator uploads Preliminary Assignment on Canvas at the end of May. It is expected that students participate as it will be included in the final exam, but the assignment is without independent assessment and grading.
Feedback Activity
The course responsible decides how the feedback is given. It could be, for instance, some sort of feedback for all (based on a test, quiz, group presentation etc.), and for courses with a project exam/home assignment an approval of a research question/problem formulation for the exam project. For further information see the course description.
Course literature
Pre-course readings
All courses include Preliminary Assignments that will be announced on CBS Canvas (e-learning platform) at the end of May. Further information under Preliminary assignment and feedback activity above.
Will I have full access to the library and its facilities?
ISUP students will be given access to the library facilities, as well as to all electronic journals that CBS subscribes to.
Do I need to buy literature and text books for all my courses?
CBS library tries to have a copy of the required literature for each course, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be available to you, since you will be sharing this resource with many other students. Therefore, we advise students to buy the required text(s) (see the course descriptions) and use the CBS Library for supplementary reading. Please note sharing of textbooks during an exam is strictly prohibited.
Where can I buy the literature for my courses?
Information about author, title, publisher and ISBN number is available in the course descriptions. For further information regarding the course literature, please contact the course coordinator.
CBS Canvas (e-learning platform)
What is CBS Canvas?
- Students find course information, preliminary assignments, additional material etc.
- Students post messages and communicate with their instructor and fellow students
How do I get access?
After you have been admitted to the programme, the ISUP Secretariat will send your CBS username and password, which is needed for logging in. You should receive this by mid/end-May at the latest. Then you can access CBS Canvas
Link to CBS Canvas can also be found at my.cbs.dk
ECTS credits and class attendance
Each ISUP course is worth 7.5 ECTS credits, and two courses are equal to 15 ECTS, or half a semester's full course load at CBS.
The workload in ISUP is 206 student work hours per course, and this includes participating in classes, course reading, group work and exams/written projects. A large portion of the learning process in ISUP courses is outside of class, so students should be prepared to spend plenty of time reading before ISUP as well as during the programme.
At Danish universities class attendance is not mandatory. However, ISUP is a very intensive programme, and we expect that all students attend and actively participate in all classes.
