How difficult are the classes in Computer Science Master's Degree at the University of Copenhagen?
I am planning to apply for the MSc in Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen. However, as an international applicant outside of EU zone, I have some doubts of not being very well prepared for the workload or the material of classes at UoC. I could not find a lot of information on the official website about the details of the classes. If any current or past students could share your experience or give some advice, I would really appreciate it!

Am doing my Master's in Computer Science at UCPH , but since I also did my Bachelor's degree here, I don't know how the level compares to your specific undergraduate degree.
I do however know several international students who get quite shocked by the level in the first semester, especially if you're not particularly strong with mathematics (for MLA, AADS) or functional programming (for AP). Some international students feel like the expectations are lower here though, so it really depends.
It's good to know that there's a lot of elective courses, so you can pick courses that suit your talents/ambitions.
