Copenhagen School
of Law and Governance

You are, as a student of cand.merc.jur. and cand.merc.pol. from Copenhagen Business School, guaranteed pre-approval of several different master's courses at the Faculty of Law. 

This means that you no longer need to apply for pre-approval for the courses included in the programme, and credit transfer is guaranteed for these courses.

You have to inform the administration at your own faculty that you intend to follow courses at the Faculty of Law; and apply for a place on the course(s) you wish to follow, but the first step in the process has been cut out and thereby made it less difficult for you as a student. 

A total of two places are reserved on each course for students who are included in the programme, summer courses are not included in this.

You must have passed your bachelor's degree before you can apply as a credit student at the Faculty of Law.
