Studying in Denmark, from the official sources in our guide
What you can study here
Source: from an official dataset, ETER 2023 (CC BY 4.0). The European data counts broad fields, so some are grouped: business with administration and law, medicine with nursing, health and social care, and social sciences with journalism. The university’s own course list has the exact programmes. Visit their website for the full course list.

The same rules for every institution in Denmark; Copenhagen Business School's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.
Deadlines and intakes
Bachelor's: through the national portal optagelse.dk. Applicants with international qualifications apply by 15 March, 12 noon CET (Quota 2). The 5 July deadline is for Quota 1, which uses Danish or equivalent entrance exam grades and is not the route for most non-EU applicants.
Master's: directly to each university. Aarhus University's deadline for non-EU applicants is 15 January for the summer intake (August or September start), with the round opening 1 November. For its winter intake (January or February start), the non-EU deadline is 15 September. Other universities set similar but not identical dates: check each one.
Language you need
Most English-taught provision is at master's level; many bachelor's programmes are taught in Danish. Language requirements are set by each institution, and Study in Denmark directs you to the university for exact scores. Check the programme page for the IELTS, TOEFL or other test it accepts and the minimum per section.
No Danish is needed for the permit. Danes speak very good English, but the part-time job market outside hospitality, warehouses and tech is largely Danish-speaking, and graduate employers outside international firms often expect it. Municipal language centres offer Danish courses to residents; start in your first term if you want to stay.
Free for students
Tell us what you want to study. Your request goes to the admissions team or to an adviser who works with them will contact you by email to help with your application. It costs you nothing.
Student reviews: none yet for Copenhagen Business School. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
Get in touch
Studies Multiverse passes your question to the admissions office by email, and they reply to you directly. We do not sell your details to anyone.
For staff of Copenhagen Business School
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, visit Copenhagen Business School’s website.
