Please note that registration for this elective course is binding. However, we recommed you apply for de-registration of Summer School courses if you do not pass your exams in June, leaving you to register for re-exams in August. Apply by filling out the form “Application of Exemption from the Deadline for Registration or De-registration for courses” here: https://spoc.sdu.dk/form/4153/view
If you need to pass mandatory subjects from the 5th semester of your bachelor’s programme, you cannot register for the summer school course as a masters’s elective, as you can only take master’s electives once your bachelor’s degree has been completed.
