INFORMATION FOR BOGAZIÇI UNIVERSITY PHILOSOPHY MAJORS

The International Office at the University of Copenhagen would like to draw your attention to the following information that is relevant for students applying for an exchange with the University of Copenhagen. We hope that the information and the contact details will help you and your students in the application process. Application The University of Copenhagen is receiving an increasing number of applications from international students. For the International Office to process the applications in due time, it is very important that our deadlines are met. The deadlines are:

*    1 April for autumn semesters (September-January)
*    1 October for spring semesters (February-June)

An application should include the three application forms: Admission as an Exchange Student, Housing (optional) and Danish Language Course (optional). Please note that if application forms for housing and Danish Language Courses are not included with the application for admission and sent at a later date, we cannot guarantee that they will be considered. Please note that incomplete applications cannot be processed.

We are aware that Socrates/Erasmus students are nominated sometimes several weeks after our deadline, and we try to be flexible. However, we should like to stress that nominations not fully confirmed by the Danish departmental coordinator and applications received after 1 June are very likely to be rejected. Likewise, housing applications received after this date are often impossible to process, and the student in question will only be eligible for housing if there are available rooms at the beginning of the semester. Visa Overseas students who need a visa to enter Denmark must expect at visa-processing period of more than 10 weeks.

Housing
 

The International Office assists exchange students who have applied for housing in due time with finding accommodation in Copenhagen during their studies. If students are interested in receiving a housing offer, it is absolutely necessary that they enclose a housing form with their application. Please note that incomplete housing applications cannot be processed. Furthermore, we should like to stress that housing in Copenhagen is scarce and only a punctual forwarding of housing application forms will ensure that the students in question will stand a reasonable chance of being offered suitable accommodation through the
International Office.

Danish Language Course During August and January the University of Copenhagen offers a 3-week pre-semester Danish language course to exchange students. The language course is optional and free of charge. If students wish to participate, they must fill in a Danish Language Course application form and enclose it with their application.

More Information The International Office's web site www.ku.dk/sa/inter has detailed information about the University of Copenhagen. Courses offered in English, earning credits and much more. We hope that your students will make use of the web site if they consider going on exchange or when actually planning their studies in Copenhagen.
