In addition, you must meet the specific requirements for the individual programme, including language requirements.
Find the specific admission requirements for the individual study programmes on the Master's degree programme pages under the "specific admission requirements" tab.

Frequently asked questions about admissions and qualifications:
Generally, admission to a Danish master’s degree programme requires a bachelor’s degree within the same specific area of study (except for a few programmes within the humanities that admit students from different areas of study).
There is no list or overview of master’s degree programmes you can apply for with a specific bachelor’s degree. To find out which master’s programmes you can apply for, you have to look at how the admission requirements may match the contents of your bachelor’s programme.
It is possible to apply for admission before you have taken your English language test and obtained the required result. In that case, you must upload documentation that you have signed up for a test and that you will upload your documentation later. Please state you expected result date.
When you have passed your English language test, you must upload your test result to your application. See the documentation deadlines.
If you are considered academically qualified for admission, you will receive a letter of admission conditioned on the submission of a sufficient test score before the announced deadlines.
