Prior to each semester, the Faculty of Humanities welcomes all new exchange students to participate in the Faculty's Orientation Programme. The Orientation Programme offers important information regarding your studies at the Faculty of Humanities, as well as the opportunity to meet and socialize with fellow international students.

Further information about the Orientation Programme

KUnet

KUnet is the University of Copenhagen's intranet. On KUnet, you can find your Master's degree programme's study website and access your UCPH student e-mail, Absalon e-larning platform and Self Service (for course registration).

In order to access KUnet, you need a password that will be sent to you by IT services in an e-mail. Once you gain access to KUnet, you will be able to order your student id card online.

The Faculty of Humanities has a mentor programme, which goes by the name of the QA Programme. By joining the programme you will establish an instant network and we strongly encourage all international students to sign up.

The mentors, who are themselves domestic or international students at UCPH, will assist with the practical aspects of adjusting to a new educational system, be available for questions and introduce you to the social life at the Faculty and beyond. The mentors are also the backbone of the Faculty’s international study environment and they will host events throughout the semester that you can attend as a student at UCPH.

Normally your mentor group will contact you by email prior to your arrival in Denmark. Therefore it is important to make sure that the email address used in your registration is valid and that you check it regularly prior to leaving your home country.

The QA Programme website: qaprogramme.dk

In the booklet My Guide to the Humanities (e-pages), you will find a detailed list of initiatives for students at the faculty.

We also refer you to our list of useful advice for exchange and guest students studying at the Faculty of Humanities.
