About the programme
As all bachelor's degree programmes at UCPH are taught in Danish, the programme information is in Danish only.
However, we offer a wide range of master’s degree programmes taught in English, and you can find information about these programmes in our list of English-language master’s programmes.
Why study History?
To understand today’s world, we must understand the past. You will learn to analyse historical sources and use them to develop interpretations of how people lived and thought. Historians draw on many kinds of evidence to understand human behaviour and society. The programme introduces past realities very different from our own and shows why historical insight is essential to understanding the present.Admission and application
At UCPH, all bachelor’s degree programmes require the highest level of Danish proficiency or documentation for academic language skills in Danish. In addition, each programme has specific requirements.
All applicants with an international degree (regardless of nationality) must submit their online application together with necessary documentation before the application deadline on 15 March at 12:00.
