Register for courses - a step by step guide
Go to the online course catalogue - choose the British flag in the right corner. In order to find the courses at Economics, please fill in the form as below:
- Choose Department – Department of Economics
- Choose Language
- Choose Volume (for the academic year that you are going to register for)
- Choose Block (either Autumn or Spring )
- Press “Search”
- Economics courses all have codes starting with AØ....For instance "AØKA08087U"
Being careful in the registration process means less trouble for yourself later: If you choose the wrong courses then you must change courses later. Changing courses after semester start means missing out on the first lectures of the new course.
Be honest to yourself. Many of our master courses require a high level of mathematics and econometrics, so please read the course descriptions and the Academic qualifications section carefully and make sure you are qualified before you register.
Check your home university for an approval of the courses before you register – are you allowed to do the course at all?
A course might have both lectures and classes. If you choose more than one course, be sure to check whether classes and lectures of all courses overlap. Some courses only have lectures every second week – so be careful when you choose courses! To avoid extra work for yourself - make sure to inform us which class number you want to register for. Otherwise, the administration will assign you a random class number which might clash with your other lectures and classes.
- Go to the course description
- Check the course schedules - they are posted under Timetable in the lower right corner.
- Check the exam date - it is is posted under Exam in the course description
- Compare all your course and exam schedules before you register
