As of 2013, all applicants must apply online to RUC via www.optagelse.dk. The digital application system is for quota 1, quota 2 and quota 3 applications, and is available in early February each year.
The site above has a guide on how to use the digital application system. Please read the guide thoroughly before you fill in the application form.
If you have a Danish CPR number, then you will need to send your application by using NemID or Digital signature. A digital application made with use of NemID or Digital signature is received in time, if the application is approved by the applicant on www.optagelse.dk before the application deadline. Roskilde University does not receive the application before it is approved.
When you apply without a Danish CPR number, you need to approve your application choices, print a signature page, sign it and send it to Roskilde University. It is the date and time that the signature page reaches Roskilde University that decides whether or not the application has been received within the application deadline and not the date when the application was filled out online.
On the application form the bachelor programmes are listed with their Danish titles.
