Ranking criteria
This programme has a limited number of study places. Applicants with a legal claim for admission are admitted first. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available study places, the remaining places are allocated between two sorting groups. Non-fee-paying and fee-paying applicants are assessed according to the following ranking criteria.
Non-fee-paying applicants
Study places will be offered to qualified non-fee-paying applicants based on the average mark from your qualifying Bachelor’s degree. Based on the marks from your qualifying Bachelor’s degree, a simple average is calculated on your local scale. If your average mark falls in the upper third of your local scale, 3 points are given, an average mark in the middle third of the scale elicits 2 points, and an average mark in the lower third elicits 1 point. If you have not completed your Bachelor’s degree at the time of application, your average mark is calculated based on the marks you have received at the time of application.
Fee-paying applicants
Study places will be offered to qualified fee-paying applicants based on an interview.
Further information about the interview will follow.
As a Bachelor student at SDU, you can apply for permission to follow up to 30 ECTS Master-level courses even though you have yet to complete your Bachelor’s degree.
You can be granted permission if you have the necessary academic qualifications. The progression of your Bachelor’s programme is crucial to the outcome of your application.
