Motivation, determination and self-discipline are indispensable tools
and core premises for completing a university programme.
Especially self-discipline is a key to every study technique. When
studying at the University, you are in charge of your own course of
study. No one makes sure that you study sufficiently, whether you
attend classes or whether you submit your essays or assignments. It is
your own responsibility to learn something, and it is a heavy
responsibility to face alone. Danish students too struggle to keep up to
the mark and to figure out the most efficient method of study.
At the University of Copenhagen, regular tests are generally not
carried out as compulsory parts of a course. The extent of your
knowledge is only examined at the final exam. Therefore, it is
extraordinarily important for students to keep themselves studying in
the course of the semester.
