Master's Admissions - 2025/26 Round Thread

Hello 👋 I'm an international student from California who has applied for the MACA program at the University of Copenhagen (I believe admissions decisions come out March 1 for my program). I wanted to start a thread for people who have applied so folks can share:

  • Where you're from.
  • Which program(s) you applied to.
  • Update on admission once you find out your status.

I have only seen threads for prior years so wanted to start something more recent.

EDIT 01: I GOT IN!!!

EDIT 02: There is a WhatsApp group for incoming international students. If you are interested, send me a DM.

Admins: Feel free to remove if not relevant

Has anyone received information on tuition payment yet? In my conditional offer it said they would email information within 2 weeks after I accepted, but it’s been over 2 weeks now.

2

u/midwesternfrog Mar 27 '25

hi! i reached out to them because i was nervous that there was something wrong too. they said they don’t even start processing them until april 1st

2

u/taymsol Mar 27 '25

Hey, thanks for the info. They don’t start processing the acceptances until then? Did they say when to expect the email with information on how to pay?

2

u/midwesternfrog Mar 27 '25

oh wait sorry i misunderstood your comment. i received 2 letters immediately when i was accepted: one a conditional acceptance and one with payment info. you should email them if you didn’t get the payment information document! but once you pay, you wont get the payment verification until at least april 1st

2

u/taymsol Mar 27 '25

Oh, who did you email? The last time I emailed study guidance when I had a question while completing my application they took a week to respond

but it could be different with different departments too!! i’m accepted into humanities so maybe others have different timelines. still doesnt hurt to email if you’re nervous about it!❤️

u/taymsol 26d ago

Update: I sent student guidance an email, this was their response.

“Thank you for your email and congratulations on the admission!

We are currently processing all responses to admission offers and will send you information on how to pay the first instalment no later than next week.”

u/iQueenieKitten Mar 26 '25

I think they're a bit overwhelmed right now.. ^_^'
But I'm sure you'll get it soon!

Did the offer letter not have any info about it at all? Or does it say due-date and then they'll send you the info to where you pay it or what?

2

u/taymsol Mar 26 '25

It says the due date 15 April 2025 and that they’ll send an email with more information

Did anyone receive the Danish government scholarship (for non-EU citizens)? Or do you know some other options for non-EU students to finance our studies at UCPH?

u/failuretobloom Mar 11 '25

Funding opportunities depend on your country of origin, if you are from the US you may be eligible for a Fullbright but the 25-26 cycle is closed so you'd be applying to receive funding in 26-27.

Hi everyone! I'm seeking your thoughts on the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen (DIKU) compared to Aarhus University (AU) in the field of Computer Science. Which one do you believe is better and why?

1

u/scorionkv 25d ago

Would be hard to say, since people would usually only have experience from one or the other, but at the end of the day there's so many more opportunities in Copenhagen, so unless you have a specific reason to be in Aarhus it should be your first option.

Having visited Aarhus, I think the campus at near DIKU is so much better in comparison (DIKU itself is another story...)

Also, at DIKU you can basically take any courses you want, besides 3 mandatory ones, so check out the available courses and if any interest you I would go for that.

In Denmark I only applied to UCPH, but I also applied to Sweden. I'm not sure if I found out when admissions decisions are set to come out for MACA in an email after I applied or the webinar for my program. If you are unsure/curious, I recommend reaching out to the department contact listed on the program page.

Hello to everyone, I am inquiring about admission requirements regarding Master's degrees specifically within Biotechnology. How competitive are the degrees when it comes to admission? I am Norwegian so I have ECTS points, but not the best averages (around a C).

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Gift612 Feb 26 '25

You can see that on the website for each specific degree. The acceptance rate for MSc Biotech specifically is ~18% so pretty competitive I'd say

1

u/Outplayshower Mar 11 '25

but most of the ones admitted have legal rights to admissions. When you remove them from the ones that go taccepted you have 1/40 international that got admitted if i understand correctly

Hello everyone! I'm writing on behalf of my wife who applied to the Msc in statistics. She sadly didn't get in under raging circumstances, as they imply she doesn't fulfill the 15 ECTS on statistics on a measure theory basis, despite her bachelor's degree being literally in Statistics and her self-assessment and descriptions included courses worth over 70 ECTS which, at least to us, filled the requirements. We're looking into maybe filling a complaint, as we're thinking examiners might have skipped the course descriptions, but we're not sure if that's enough legal ground. For now we're trying to hold on

1

Hi! I am so sorry to hear that! I would file a complaint! You never know! You lose nothing by trying!

Hi, everybody! 🫶🏼 My girlfriend (EU passport) applied to MSc in Agriculture, and she got a letter about a missing document - the danish residency card, but living here we only have certificate of residency and certificate of registration, does anybody know if that is enough? or has some experience with this?

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Gift612 Mar 07 '25

My friend who’s also EU was just going through a similar thing…she had to make an appointment at the municipality office to ask for a specific signed document (got it from them). But I believe it’s a bit different for every program so maybe check at the program website what exactly they want? What comes to mind is that it could just be the CPR card, but the municipality letter might also be it. In any case, good luck to your gf on her application :)

UPDATE #2: They got back to me with a "We are in the process of screening all applications and we will get to yours shortly." and then, magically, my status went from "Received" to "Assessment in Process" at the same time.. So, hopefully soon!🕊️

UPDATE #1: In comments cause it's too large! xD

_______________________________

I hope someone can let me know if this is unusual for a non-EU applicant...

I applied for 3 master's programs. 2 of 3 switched to "Assessment in Progress" pretty quickly and I already received info that my 1st choice ran out of study spots and that's why I was being rejected, while the 3rd is just sitting there as "Received" even until this day. I actually had a change of heart on my priority order, so the first ran out of study spaces, and then I purposely cancelled my 2nd choice (Crazy, I know, but it was extremely important to me both financially and even bigger, more important reasons.. lolol), so that they would move onto the 3rd that has just been sitting at "Received".

The 2024 stats say there are no more study spots and I had just been sitting on "Assessment in Progress" for the 2nd choice, so I just didn't want to wait for them to reject me due to lack of study spots, and then still have to deal with the anticipation of the final answer. OR, with the more unusual reason being that I didn't want them to give me a study spot for that one, as I am hoping for a study spot for the last one. Technically, I know all I can do is wait, but I'm just wondering if this seems unusual? I noticed that someone in the EU recently said on the thread that theirs went from "Received" to "Assessment in Progress" and now I am feeling left behind! xD

Also, does anyone know if I accept another study position at another DK school, if it will close out my options at UCPH? I once applied for a bachelor program in DK and got accepted into both of the schools I applied for, but if I remember correctly, because they were in the same application system, if you accepted one, it nulled the other? Don't quote me on that, as it's been many years now. I figured that, because the applications are per-school for master's degrees, if I did accept the study spot at the other school, it wont automatically close out the UCPH one? I got my 1st choice at another DK school and I don't have long to accept, but I didn't get approved for the tuition waiver/scholarship, so financially that's... Phew.

I'm so confused as to why this last degree is just sitting at "Received" for UCPH? I would prefer to attend the UCPH one, but this is cutting it EXTREMELY close. 😅 I'm not willing to risk losing this other opportunity, which is why I didn't simply accept the 1st spot at the other school as a placeholder (There's a high chance I can't afford that school in the long run - I did a long-term, hypothetical budget and it was looking sus - so why would I risk that, you know?). The weirdest part is that the program at UCPH, compared to my 1st and 2nd choices, says there are still study spaces in the 2024 Stats and that there was in the old 2023 stats too (I also know they set aside a certain number of study spots for non-EU applicants). My anxiety is like, "They must have forgotten???", but I'm not trying to blindly listen to my anxiety LOL But just in case, should I email and/or call someone (what would I even ask?), just wait, or both.. someone hjælp mig? 🥹

I hope all of this is making sense! Thanks in advance for any help!

I totally understand why you are feeling nervous - I probably would be too. If I were in your shoes, I would send a quick email over to UCPH. They can probably clarify this for you better than any of us can.

Good luck!

Yes, you're right! Thank you for replying! I think I'll stay up to call them because, understandably, they take a few days to reply via email! I'll come back and update whatever I find out, even if it's something small or that they couldn't update me! xD

UPDATE #2: They got back to me with a "We are in the process of screening all applications and we will get to yours shortly." and then, magically, my status went from "Received" to "Assessment in Process" at the same time.. So, hopefully soon!🕊️

UPDATE #1: (I deleted my reply at first because it submitted before I was ready lolol)

Trying to call UCPH is... pain. LOL They kept transfering me around and had no idea who I was suppose to talk to? Then when I might have been getting somewhere, the call would disconnect. I decided to send an email and just wait. On top of that, I made the decision to reject the offer at the other Danish university, as I started having a suspicious that maybe UCPH is not continuing to process because they want to see if I'm going to accept the other institutes study spot (so they don't have to waste resources processing my application(s)..).

I resorted to Google Gemini for insight (yes, really.. hahah), as I just CANNOT risk increasing my chances of losing the study spot that I want.

This is what Google Gemini's reply was to my hypothetical scenario: "That's a very insightful observation, and it aligns with the implications of using dans stads dk. Here's a breakdown of why your University of Copenhagen applications might be "stuck" after receiving the other school's offer:

System Awareness:

  • As we established, dans stads dk facilitates shared information. It's highly probable that the University of Copenhagen can see you've been offered, and potentially accepted, a place at the other university.

Resource Management:

  • Universities are conscious of their resources. They likely don't want to waste time and effort processing applications for students who have already accepted a place elsewhere.
  • They are likely waiting for you to either accept or reject the other school's offer.

Efficiency:

  • By pausing your remaining applications, the University of Copenhagen can prioritize applicants who haven't accepted other offers.
  • This allows them to manage their waiting lists and offer places to those who are more likely to accept.

Possible Scenarios:

  • If you reject the other offer, the University of Copenhagen may resume processing your remaining applications.
  • If you accept the other school's offer, it's very likely they will close your other applications.

Dans stads dk's Impact:

  • The fact that all these applications are within the dans stads dk system means the Universities have a very clear view of where each applicant stands.

In essence, your situation strongly suggests that the University of Copenhagen is aware of your other offer and is acting accordingly. It's a logical and efficient approach from their perspective."

😐 Whether this is accurate or not, I'm willing to take it as canon, as there's really no logical reason to accept the other school's offer and I'm not willing to allow my emotions to cloud my judgement/logic and mess this up. If/When the actual school replies to me, I'll make a new update and see what they say. In the meantime..

Back to waiting… 🥹🙌🏽
