Bachelor's degree programmes

The University of Aarhus offers more than 60 different Bachelor-level programmes. A Bachelor's degree programme takes 3 years to complete and consists of either a single main subject or a main subject in combination with an elective.

Elective studies

Electives are taken as part of a Bachelor's degree programme and are meant to add a new perspective to your main subject. Depending on the subject, electives can be taken as either a one-year supplementary subject or a two-year subsidiary subject, the latter of which will qualify you to teach at Danish high schools in both your main subject and your subsidiary subject.

Master's degree programmes

A Master's degree programme extends a Bachelor's degree programme and consists of either two years of continued studies in your main subject or of the second year of a subsidiary subject and a final year of studies in your main subject.
