Guest students are students who are enrolled in a higher education programme at a Danish higher educational institution and as a part of this education wish to follow single subject courses and take an exam within the study programmes at Aarhus BSS in one or more semesters.
A credit module is not a course you take in addition to your degree programme. If you would like to take modules in addition to your degree programme, please read more here: Single-subject Daytime Courses.
As a guest student you have the possibility to be signed up for courses and exams within the study programmes at Aarhus BSS where the following provisions have to be fulfilled:
You apply for preliminary approval through the study board at your home institution. It is a good idea to apply in good time. If it is possible to have more courses approved than you need, it will be an advantage. You can make a priority list and we can then move down your list of courses, in case one of your first priorities is full. If you do not have more courses approved than you need, you will have to re-apply for a new approval of credit transfer after you have received a letter from us saying that one of your courses was full. It can be hard for you to get a new approval before it is too late to sign you into courses.
All applications for admission are considered individually and the admission requirements depend on which courses you apply for, but in general the following criteria must be met:
Admission at master's level requires that you have passed your bachelor's degree equaling 180 ECTS.
Admission at bachelor's level can have a minimum grade point average requirement from your upper secondary exam. Please make sure that you fulfill the specific admission requirements at bachelor.au.dk before you apply, e.g.:
You have to get full credit transfer for the courses at your own institution.
To be admitted there has to be available seats on the course you apply for.
The registration deadline is 14 days before the semester commences.
The Bachelor’s and Master's degree courses, offered for visiting student, can be found in the course catalogue. Please note that some subjects can be filled with the programmes’ own students. It is therefore advisable to contact the Student Counselling Office for information before you start looking for courses.
