UCPH International Summer Programme

UCPH International Summer Programme offers access to a range of academically rigorous, research-based summer courses taking place in July or August.
The programme provides access to a select number of courses taught in English and rooted in the University's strong research environments across the humanities, health sciences, social sciences, theology and natural sciences.
The courses are designed to provide participants with insight into current academic developments and research perspectives within their respective fields. 

The International Summer Programme currently consists of a limited number of specialised courses reflecting the University's research strengths and strategic international engagement. Course offerings may vary from year to year and are typically offered at bachelor's and master's level.

Further information about current course offerings, admission requirements and practical matters is available at www.studies.ku.dk/summer

UCPH International Summer Programme offers accommodation to international students in collaboration with Housing Foundation Copenhagen.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

Since 2013, the University of Copenhagen has been a Coursera partner institution. We currently offer 27 MOOCs on the Coursera platform and more than 550,000 learners have signed up so far. The courses have been strategically chosen to highlight some of the world-class research being done at UCPH.

The University decided to offer MOOCs based on the belief that the new technologies and rapid innovation within online learning will ultimately lead to better education – not just for the University’s many thousands of MOOC learners around the world, but also for the students enrolled at UCPH.
