Many international applicants ask me where they find a list or overview over Master's programmes they can apply for with their specific bachelor degrees. Unfortunately, there is no such list. To find out which Master’s programmes you can apply for, you have to look at how a specific Master programme and the admission requirements matches the courses that are included in your bachelor degree. A way to get started is to sort Master’s programmes by “Interest” on http://kandidat.au.dk/en/ and compare with your bachelor. That way you can ensure that you are applying for programmes that you are both interested in and are related to your bachelor's degree.
Many international students ask me to help them determine whether they can apply for a specific Master programme with their degree. What you really need is a pre-assessment, but unfortunately, we cannot tell you in advance whether or not you fulfill the specific admission requirements. Generally, your Bachelor programme has to be very specifically related to the Master programme that you are applying for. My advice is to make a comparison yourself to see whether the details of your Bachelor program match the program you are interested in. The only way to find out for sure is by applying for the specific programme within the application deadline.
You can read more about admission requirements here: http://kandidat.au.dk/en/admission/admission-requirements/
When you apply for a Master’s programme you always have to fulfil the language requirement(Danish/English) for the specific programme.
The English language requirement is ‘a level B’. You prove your English skills by taking a test. The test expires after 2 years. Read more about language requirements and tests here: http://kandidat.au.dk/en/admission/admission-requirements/
Even though you have been enrolled in an English-taught program, you still need to take an English test.
If you are applying for a Master’s programme taught in Danish with a foreign university degree, you need to pass the “Study Test in Danish as a Second Language” or the former “Danskprøve 2” as well as having the highest level possible for your native language. Read more about the Danish language requirements here: http://kandidat.au.dk/en/admission/admission-requirements/
Many applicants ask me about tuition fees and how to apply for scholarships. The short answer is that you apply for scholarships automatically when you apply for a Master’s programme.
Tuition fees must be paid if you are a student from non EU/EEA/Switzerland. The amount varies depending on the program. You can find out more about scholarships and tuition fees here: http://kandidat.au.dk/en/admission/tuitionfees/
Students from non EU/EEA/Switzerland also have to pay an application fee of 100 Euro when applying. Read more about application fees(and exemptions) and the application procedure here: http://kandidat.au.dk/en/admission/application-procedure/
Generally, the application deadline for summer start is March 1st 11.59 pm, unless you are a non EU/EEA/Swiss applicant. Then the deadline is January 15th 11.59pm.

Every year in February Aarhus University invites potential students to participate in our Open Day for international students.
On this day you can talk to admissions, meet current international students, get a tour of the campus and much more.
We know it is a major decision for a student to go abroad to undertake a full degree in a new country. We are also aware that parents, of course, wish to have as much information as possible about the country and the university their son or daughter may go to, to assist them in making an informed decision. We have therefore made information about Aarhus University and living in Denmark available in many different languages.
