Master Programme

You must have completed a bachelor’s degree relevant for the specific master’s programme. The Admissions Office will assess if the academic content of your educational background gives you the necessary qualifications required for admission to a specific master’s programme. This is based on an individual, academic assessment.

If you lack essential qualifications that amount to no more than 30 ECTS points in order to fulfil the specific admission requirements, you may be offered admission on the condition that you complete prerequisite studies first.

NOTE: prerequisite studies are only available to the following types of applicants:

• EU/EEA citizens

• applicants with a permanent residence permit in Denmark

• applicants with a temporary residence permit with a view to permanent residence in Denmark

You will be assessed based on:

• A degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree

• Study elements equivalent to Danish bachelor’s level taken before completing your bachelor’s degree – e.g. additional courses where you obtain ECTS/credits taken concurrently with your bachelor’s degree or study elements passed at another bachelor’s degree that you have not completed. However, we will only include a maximum of 30 ECTS from these studies.

You will not be assessed based on:

• Work experience

• Motivated application

• Courses you have taken after completion of your bachelor’s degree
