Ranking criteria

This programme has a limited number of study places. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available study places, study places are allocated between two sorting groups, non-fee-paying and fee-paying applicants. All applicants are assessed according to the following ranking criteria, which includes two steps.

Step 1: In the first part of the ranking process, applicants are given points and ranked based on the extent to which the key subject areas are included in your qualifying bachelor's degree: following criteria:

  • 1 point is given for every 10 ECTS in communication
  • 1 point is given for every 10 ECTS in design
  • 1 point is given for every 10 ECTS in coding or data science 

The highest ranked applicants in each sorting group move on to Step 2.

Step 2: In the second part of the ranking process, applicants are invited to an interview which will take as its basis the statement of academic interest submitted as part of your application. Based on this interview, applicants can receive 1 point for each of the following criteria:

  • Ability to account for the relevance of your Bachelor’s degree in regard to the Master’s degree programme
  • Relevant occupational experience in regard to the Master’s degree programme
  • Other relevant experience in regard to the Master’s degree programme
  • Knowledge you have about certain areas with relevance to the Master’s degree programme

In the event of a tie, study places will be offered to the applicants who have the highest collective sum of ECTS points in the key subject areas.

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.
