Exemptions

Below you will find a list of the most common types of exemption requests. Following each type of request, there is a description of the common CBS Admissions practice in response to that type of request.

The processing time for an application for exemption is approximately one month from when we have received your exemption request. If you apply for an exemption due to incomplete bachelor degree by study start, you can expect to receive an answer to your exemption request one month from the date you received a study place offer at the earliest. 

Remember: Each application for exemption is reviewed on a case-to-case basis, taking into account your personal and specific situation. The information in the table below should therefore be viewed as guidelines rather than definitive responses to each type of request.

Admission to full-time degree programmes is regulated by The "Admission Order" on Admission and Enrolment to Bachelor's and Master’s Programmes at Universities ("Adgangsbekendtgørelsen") which can be found at retsinformation.dk (in Danish only). 

In addition to this, admission is regulated by the individual Rules and Regulations (Studieordning) for each degree programme.

As an applicant, you are thus subject to a lot of rules, but in some areas, special circumstances could result in an exemption being given.
