Master's level courses while completing your bachelor's degree

You can apply to take Master's level courses alongside your Bachelor's degree if:

• You are a Bachelor's student at Aarhus University
• You only have a few ECTS credits left to complete your Bachelor's degree
• You have a conditional admission to the Master's degree programme

This option does not apply if you are a Bachelor of Engeneering student or if you come from another university."

You can only be enrolled in the Master's degree programme once you have completed your Bachelor's degree.

For you, this means that:

• You can register for Master's level courses for one semester – this period may be extended if the remaining Bachelor's level courses are scheduled for a later semester.
• You can register for a maximum of 30 ECTS Master's level courses.
• You must still complete your Bachelor's degree within the maximum study time.
• You cannot receive SU (student grants) for the Master's programme during this period, but you may use any remaining SU grants from your Bachelor's degree.
  • Specific questions about SU should be directed to the SU Office.

Due to workload and thus your ability to complete your Bachelor’s degree programme, we recommend that you aim for a semester workload that does not exceed 30 ECTS credits in total.

• Login in mitstudie.au.dk
• Use the application scheme "Temporary enrollment to masters degree"
• Attach the letter from the Admission department, as confirment that you have applied for admission to the Master's degree programme.

Note that there is a processing time up to 6-8 weeks.

To apply, you must fill in the form 'Application for temporary enrolment'. 

• Please state which courses you still need to pass on your Bachelor’s degree programme and during which examination period they are expected to be completed (remember to include the course title, ECTS credits and examination period).
• Write which Master’s courses you want to attend that will be included in your Master’s degree programme (remember to write course title, ECTS credits and examination period).
• Make sure that your Bachelor contract is updated in the contract generator. 
• Before applying, you must have a Master's degree contract in the contract generator.

Once you have submitted your application, the following will take place:

• We will check how many ECTS points you are missing.
• We will assess whether you have the academic requirements to take Master's level courses while completing your Bachelor's degree
• You will be notified about the outcome of your application via e-Boks or your AU email.

If we need any additional information, we will contact you by phone or AU email.
