Admissions 2023 — The University of Copenhagen has seen a slight increase in the number of applicants, and pretty much the same number of admitted new bachelor students as last year. The number of women continues to increase.
New female bachelor’s degree students at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) are on average 22.7 years old, and converge on courses like psychology, medicine, law and humanities degree programmes.
Male bachelor’s degree students are a tad older, 23.1 years old on average, and take up most of the student places on economics and computer science. They are underrepresented in the health and medical sciences.
7,180 new bachelor students have been offered a place at UCPH — almost the same as 2022, with 7,161 students.
