Course registration - MSc in Economics

Registration period

  • Courses in the spring semester: Register 1-5 November
  • Courses in the autumn semester: Register 1-5 May 

Step-by-step guide to registration

  1. Please find the elective courses offered on your degree programme in the AU course catalogue . You can limit your search by selecting “degree programme” and “period”.
  2. Please select which courses you wish to register for. Your registration is binding. This means that you will not be able to cancel or change your registration for elective courses once the deadline for registration has expired, unless you apply for and are granted a dispensation from the board of studies.
  3. Please log on to mystudies.au.dk – find a direct link to the student self-service system (STADS) – register for courses.  Go to -> ‘Courses’ -> ‘Register’. Here you will find a registration form with a list of your course options.
  4. You should only register for the number of courses you wish to take. If you are registered for Summer University courses, credit modules at another educational institution or an exchange programme, you should only register for the number of courses you will attend at your own degree programme in the next semester.
  5. Please select “1” for each course you wish to register for.
  6. The allocation of elective courses is final by 22 May 2024. Check your registrations in the student self-service system STADS under ‘Classes - show registrations and cancellations’. There may be changes in the allocation of elective courses right up to 22 May 2024. For example, if you Initially, registered for three elective courses, and you can now only see two elective courses in the registration list, you were not allocated a place on all desired elective courses in the first period of registration. You can register for a third elective course in the second registration period.
  7. The second registration period takes place from 23 - 26 May. Here you will be able to register for courses with vacant places. When the allocation of courses is final you can check your registrations in the STADS self-service. If you have not received a place after the second registration period, please contact your study administrator by e-mail: bachelor.bss@au.dk or kandidat.bss@au.dk 

Overview of electives

Before you register for any courses, please check whether the classes or exam dates for the courses in question overlap. It is your responsibility to ensure that there are no overlapping activities. For this reason, before you register for any courses, please check for:

  • Overlapping classes in mytimetable – you will be able to check this from 23 April
  • Overlapping exams in the exam schedule – you will be able to check this from 29 April

If you have to attend a compulsory course along with your elective course, you also have to remember to check for any overlaps between the compulsory course and the elective course.

Please be aware that your registration is binding.

You can also prevent overlapping activities by only looking at the “course clusters”. Courses in the same course cluster do not have any overlapping classes or exams. You are free to select courses from different clusters, but if you do this, you need to be highly aware that classes or exams might overlap.    

Allocation of places

If the number of registrations for a course exceeds the number of available places on that course, the places will be allocated by drawing lots. 

If you are not granted a place on one or more of your desired courses, you must register anew in the second registration period.

If you initially registered for three courses but are now only able to see two courses in your overview of registrations, you were not allocated a place on all your desired courses in the first round of registration. This means that you will be able to register for a third course in the second registration period.

Allocation of places - special for Public Policy

If the number of registrations for a course exceeds the number of available places on that course, the places will be allocated by drawing lots. 

If you are not granted a place on one or more of your desired courses, you must register anew in the second registration period.

If you initially registered for three courses but are now only able to see two courses in your overview of registrations, you were not allocated a place on all your desired courses in the first round of registration. This means that you will be able to register for a third course in the second registration period.

Registration after the normal deadline

If you did not receive the number of courses you wished to register for, or if you forgot to register for courses in the normal registration period, you have the opportunity to register late for availbe courses.

The allocation of places will take place on a first-come, first-served basis, and it will be possible to register for a course as long as there are vacant places on the course. Once a course has been filled, it will no longer be possible to register for the course in question.

The list of available courses can be updated on a regular basis.
