Admission requirements
Admission to the Master's degree programme in science at the University of Aarhus requires successful completion of a BSc degree within the same subject. For this reason foreign students must be able to provide full documentary evidence that they have completed a university degree equivalent to a Danish BSc degree.
General English language requirements ('English B level')
Since English is the language of instruction in all subjects, non-native speakers of English are required to provide evidence of their English language proficiency.
According to the Danish Ministry of Science's Order no 32 on Admission to Danish Universities, all applicants with non-Danish examinations to Master's programmes taught in English must document English language qualifications comparable to an 'English B level' in the Danish upper secondary school ('high school') .
English language qualifications comparable to an 'English B level' in Denmark can be documented as follows:
- TOEFL test results of at least 560 (paper-based), or 220 (computer-based test) or 83 (internet-based test)
The Aarhus University TOEFL code is 8935
- IELTS test with a minimum score of 6.5 points
- Cambridge/Oxford Certificate/Test in Advanced English
- "C1 level" obtained by examination from a CEFR -validated English language course.
- English-taught entrance examination (upper secondary school/high school) or Bachelor’s degree
- English language qualifications obtained through at least 210 hours of English lessons (1 hour = 60 minutes) in a non-Danish entrance examination. You must ask your upper secondary school/high school to provide documentation for the total number of English lessons/hours you have received during your final three upper secondary/high school years. You are required to enclose a copy of your upper secondary/high school certificate, including course and examination descriptions of your English language course.
Tuition fees
Please note that citizens from countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) are to pay tuition fees.
Financial aid and scholarships
Please note that the University of Aarhus is unable to offer financial support to foreign students, which means that you must have sufficient financial means to cover your stay in Denmark or apply to your own national authorities for a study grant.
However, the University of Aarhus administers a few full two-year scholarships awarded by the Danish government. Students cannot apply for a scholarship , but the best qualified applicants can be nominated for one. No partly scholarships are awarded.
In general, our university does not offer teaching assistantship to foreign students.
Documentation
The following documents have to be submitted with the application. If the documents are not enclosed the University cannot deal with your application. The documents must be in English, German, French, Danish, Swedish or Norwegian. Translations of documents into one of the above-mentioned languages must always be made by an authorized translator:
1. Certificates/diplomas showing examination subjects and results for each examination (a diploma without specific examination results is not sufficient)
2. Course descriptions, examination syllabus from the Bachelor’s programme
3. Major papers (e.g. Bachelor’s thesis - or English summary)
4. Documentation of your English language qualifications
5. Curriculum vitae
6. Documentation of your citizenship (e.g. copy of passport)
7. Copy of your permanent residence permit in Denmark (if applicable)
8. Any other relevant documents
Important! The University of Aarhus only accepts certified copies! Certified copies require original stamps and signatures as proof of their authenticity – alternatively, you may ask two persons who are not related to you to sign the back of the copy, including their name, address and birth date, thereby confirming that the copy is in conformity with the original.
