The rules on conditional admission and on taking Master’s-level courses while completing your Bachelor’s degree apply only to AU students in Economics and Business Administration, BSc who have applied for admission to the Master’s degree programme in Business Administration (cand.merc.).
As a general rule, you must have completed your Bachelor’s degree programme in order to be admitted to a Master’s degree programme. If you have applied for admission to a Master’s degree programme, but have not yet completed your Bachelor’s degree programme, you will be offered conditional admission. Admission is conditional upon you completing your Bachelor’s degree programme or meeting language requirements or other unfulfilled requirements before a given date. If you are waiting for marks from a re-examination or Summer University, for instance, your conditional admission will automatically turn into a ‘real’ admission once your marks have been registered and/or credit has been transferred to your degree programme, provided this happens before the given deadline.
While you are waiting to receive documentation regarding fulfilment of the final requirements, you will be granted a so-called conditional enrolment.
If it is not possible for you to complete your Bachelor’s degree programme before the documentation deadline, your conditional admission will no longer apply, and your conditional enrolment will be discontinued. You will then only be enrolled in your Bachelor’s degree programme.

If you are a student at AU and have been granted conditional admission to your Master’s degree programme but will be unable to complete your Bachelor’s degree programme before the deadline, you can apply for enrolment in Master’s courses while completing your Bachelor’s degree programme. This has previously been referred to as ‘temporary enrolment’.
Master’s degree programmes with restricted admission, including the Master’s degree programmes that have been resized, only grant enrolment in Master’s courses to Bachelor’s degree students who have a legal right of admission. In addition, you must have applied for and been offered conditional admission to your Master’s degree programme.
The University may enrol you in Master’s courses while you are completing your Bachelor’s degree, provided that the University assesses that you have the academic prerequisites to complete and pass your Bachelor’s degree concurrently with enrolment in Master’s courses.
You can only register for Master’s degree courses corresponding to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits.
Enrolment in Master’s courses does not grant the right to monthly SU grants for the Master’s degree programme, but you may use any monthly SU grants that you have left from the Bachelor’s degree programme.
