On Friday 26 July, CBS will send admission letters to everyone who has been accepted to a bachelor programme at CBS.

Response to your application

You will receive the answer to your application on Friday 26 July.

CBS will send all admission letters as encrypted email. We send out the admission letters starting at midnight and expect all applicants have received their answer within 3-4 hours.

​In the admission letter from CBS, you will be informed about which programme you have been accepted to with study start 1 September 2024.

One offer for a study place

You will only receive one offer for a study place, even if you have applied for several programmes. The distribution of study places is done collectively for all educations in Denmark, and therefore you only receive an admission letter from the institution where you are offered a study place.

Have you not been offered a study place?

If you are not offered a study place, you will receive an answer from the Coordinated Admission (KOT) on 26 July letting you know that you did not get in. You will receive an answer from KOT via E-Boks or email. 

Because CBS has far more applicants than study places, there are no available places and no waiting lists.

If you have not been offered a study place, we recommend you read the article You did not get in. What now?

Before you accept

Before you accept your study place, consider whether you feel ready to start studying this year or whether you might be better off taking a(nother) sabbatical year.

Experience from previous years have shown that students that have thought this through will make an easier transition into university life. So before you accept your study place, please take a minute to read about what is worth considering.

Read more about the considerations you should make here at cbs.dk > Study start > Before you accept your study place

Bachelor programmes with last year of admission in 2024

If you have been accepted into one of the following programmes, please note that you cannot apply for these programs again next year:

These three programmes have last year of admission this year. This might be relevant to consider before accepting or declining a study place.

Remember to accept the offer!

If you have been accepted to CBS, you must remember to accept the offer for a study place no later than 30 July at 23.59 CET. If you fail to accept the offer before the deadline, you will lose your study place.

To accept the offer you must:

  • Click on the link in your admission letter
  • Log on with the username and password stated in your admission letter
  • Follow the instructions on the website

INTRODUCTION WEEK

All bachelor's programmes start with an introduction week on 26 - 30 August, which is the week before the semester begins.

We recommend that you prioritise participating throughout in the entire intro week. Here you get an introduction to your new programme and you meet your fellow students for the first time. Our experience shows that students who participate in the introduction week get off to a better study start which is very helpful for your studies at CBS.

Read more about the introduction week and find the programme for your study programme

MENTOR AND STUDENT LIFE

When the intro activities are over and the teaching starts, students in most programmes will be assigned a mentor who is typically a 2nd or 3rd student from the same programme as yours. Your mentor will help you to get off to a good start on your programme and in your student life.

Are you currious about what it will be like to start studying at CBS? Then you can read prior bachelor students testimonials about among other things what has been difficult during there studies and their advice for new students at CBS.

Find the testimonials here on cbs.dk > All bachelor programmes > Choose programme > click on a student profile

You can also read more about classes, the study environment and our collaborative mindset etc. on cbs.dk > Student life 

Educational grants (SU)

You are enrolled at CBS with study start 1 September. You are therefore eligible for education grants (SU) from 1 September. You are not eligible for SU or public transport discount (ungdomskort) during the introductory activities in August.

You can apply for SU from 1 August - but no earlier than 48 hours after you have accepted your programme offer.
