Fee-paying guest students

You have the option of studying single courses at the Faculty of Humanities. Guest enrolment is an alternative to applying through an exchange agreement or as a degree-seeking student. 

If your home university does not have an exchange agreement with University of Copenhagen or you are interested in taking part-time studies as a professional, you can apply at the Faculty of Humanities as an international guest student.

Please note that guest students are required to pay tuition fees for short-term, non-degree-seeking studies at the University of Copenhagen.

The application deadlines for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens are as follows:

  • 1 June for autumn semester courses
  • 1 December for spring semester courses

Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens apply for the guest programme via the Office of International Education & Grants. For information on how to apply, admission requirements and application deadlines, please visit the University of Copenhagen's admission website for international visiting students.
