1) Entry requirements and grade point average

To apply through quota 1, you need a Danish upper secondary education and you must fulfil the entry requirements for the programme(s) you are applying for. You can find a list of the entry requirements for our bachelor programmes on cbs.dk > Entry requirements > Specific entry requirements

You will be evaluated solely on the grade point average (GPA) of your upper secondary education. We do not know the grade point average for this year's intake before all applications have been processed and answered.

You can see the grade point average from previous years on cbs.dk > Admission statistics  

2) Apply early - and no later than 5 July at 12:00 noon

We do not accept any applications or documentation after the deadline. Therefore, you need to approve and sign you application on Optagelse.dk before the deadline.

Make sure to finish your application well before the deadline. We often see that applicants make more mistakes in their applications the closer they get to the deadline.

3) Apply with MitID

You must apply through Optagelse.dk

If you have MitID, you must use this when applying – it makes the application process easier for both you and us. When you apply with MitID:

  • your diploma from a Danish upper secondary school will automatically be attached to your application*

4) Check that your diploma is attached to your application
