As a new student, you will automatically be registered for all courses in your first semester. After the first semester, you will need to register for courses yourself during the two annual registration periods.
When you register for a course, you will automatically also be registered for the first exam attempt.
In itslearning, under the Calendar tab, you can always find your class schedule for the courses you are enrolled in.
All the books you need can be purchased online at www.academicbooks.dk, where you will also find curriculum lists.
The curriculum lists are updated continuously right up until the start of the semester.
Ask your teachers for advice
It is always a good idea to ask your teachers for advice on which literature you must make a priority to buy and which literature is considered to be of secondary importance and which you may not necessarily need to buy.
