We hope the following information will help answer some of your questions, as well as help you with the practical side of preparing for your study abroad. The suggestions you find below are based on our experiences combined with words of wisdom from former international students. PASSPORT / SHORT TERM VISA Do not forget to bring your passport. EU citizens can travel without a passport within the Schengen agreement using only their national ID. Students with dual citizenship are strongly advised to bring both valid passports. It is your own responsibility to check whether your nationality requires a visa for entering Denmark. You can check the website for the Danish Immigration Services or the Danish embassy in your home country whether you need to apply for a visa. Since you are going to study in Denmark for less than three months, you will not get a student visa, but a short term visa for the period of the duration of the programme. Students, who need to apply for a short term visa to enter Denmark, should apply at the Danish embassy or consulate in their home country as early as possible once they have received their letter of acceptance from the ISUP secretariat, as applying for a visa can take several months. Note: The ISUP Secretariat cannot help you to apply for visa/passport. 9 HEALTH INSURANCE EU/EEA students should bring the blue European health insurance card that entitles you to the same health services as Danish citizens who need urgent medical treatment. Students from outside the EU/EEA need to ensure that they have some form of private medical insurance coverage. Non-EU/EEA and EU/EEA citizens You need to arrange for additional private insurance yourself. Some insurance companies extend their insurance policies to cover stays in other countries, and you should therefore contact your present insurance company for further information. ACCOMMODATION CBS does not have a campus as such. Traditionally, Danish universities do not own student-housing facilities. The majority of Danish students leave home at about the age of 19-20 to live in private flats, or in one of the dormitories in the greater Copenhagen area. Accommodation for our international students is therefore rented through public and private housing companies. You can apply for housing for ISUP 2019 through our online housing application system from end April/start May 2019. CBS Housing department will send you an email with the link to the online application to the email address you used when you applied for ISUP. Accommodation is assigned on a first come – first served basis. If you have questions specifically about accommodation, please contact CBS Housing Department at [email protected]. 11 ARRIVING AT CBS Contact Academic books for any further questions via their homepage.
