General entry requirements - the Faculty of Business & Social Sciences

Courses within business and social sciences are offered in English at three campuses: Odense, Esbjerg, and Sønderborg. Please look at the course offerings at the different campuses to find out which campus suits you best.

At our Odense campus, you also have the possibility of combining courses from the International Graduate programme with courses from the Scandinavian Area Studies programme.

Some times it easier to find updated course information through the information for current students.
