Academic Requirements
Bachelor’s Degree Requirement (Main)
- Applicants need a completed Bachelor’s degree or equivalent comparable to a Danish Bachelor’s degree in both level and duration, normally corresponding to 180 ECTS.
- The qualifying degree must include 80 ECTS broadly distributed across AU’s listed physics, chemistry, molecular biology and nanoscience areas, plus 15 ECTS in Mathematics.
Note
Nanoscience has limited intake. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission; AU ranks applicants using degree grades, grades in Chemistry, Physics, Molecular Biology, Mathematics and Nanoscience, plus additional relevant credits.
Tests
Standardized Test Requirement
No GRE, GMAT, SAT or other standardized admission test is published for this MSc. Selection is based on the qualifying degree, required subject coverage and Aarhus University’s programme-specific ranking criteria.
