A study contract is an overview of your study programme - in other words, it is a complete list of the courses you are planning to follow. It must be composed individually and under guidance, and it must be approved by the head of degree programme. The contract is thus an academic approval of your specific study programme constituting a degree within your field.
When the contract has been approved by the head of degree programme, it is mandatory, and you must therefore only register for the courses that are included in the contract. The contract, and hence the courses in your programme, can be changed, but the changes must be approved by your head of degree programme, before you register for courses.
Remember that you must update and have your contract reapproved every time you make changes to your study programme.
You cannot finish your study programme without an updated and approved contract.
You can find the contract generator here.
NB: The fact that courses are approved in your study contract does not mean that you are automatically registered for them - you must register for courses at mitstuide.au.dk, when the course registration is open.
You must create a Bachelor's contract prior to registering for your first elective course in your program.
Preparation of your Bachelor's contract must take place under guidance and therefore you should contact your head of degree programme and receive the needed student guidance before you complete your contract.
Your Bachelor's contract must (as far as possible) be submitted no later than:
You must have an approved Master's contract before starting your degree program.
If you have a bachelor's degree from another university you cannot fill in a Master's contract until you have been admitted on your degree program as you cannot log in to the system prior to admission.
Preparation of your Masters's contract must take place under guidance and therefore you should contact the head of degree programme and receive the needed student guidance before you complete your contract.
Your Masters's contract must (as far as possible) be submitted no later than:
Please notice: An approved Master's contract is not an approval of admission to the Master's programme. You have to apply for admission separately. You can read more about how to apply for admission to a Master’s degree programme here.
You can find a guide on how to fill out your Master's contract here:
A project contract is an agreement between you as a student, your supervisor, and your degree programme.
It is via the project contract that your supervisor professionally approves your problem statement and your collaboration.
The project contract forms the framework for individual projects and is used, among other things, to set up your exam in WISEflow.
Please note:
The submission deadline in your contract is final. If you want to change your submission deadline, a new approved contract is required.
You must always state your primary supervisor in your project contract. If you have several supervisors, your primary supervisor will be the one who represents your degree programme.
Your main supervisor will automatically have access to your exam submission when it has been submitted in WISEflow.
Once your contract is approved, you cannot change it.
You can make a new contract instead. Once it has been approved by your supervisor and your Head of Degree Programme, your new contract will replace the old one.
Once you have submitted your contract for approval, it awaits either your supervisor or your Head of Degree Programme.
You will always be able to see the status of your contract in the Contract Generator. You can contact either your supervisor or your Head of Degree Programme if you have questions about when your contract will be approved.
You need to draw up a project contract in connection with your:
Bachelor's project
