Obligatory credit assessment

Under the Ministerial Orders on Admission to and Enrolment on Master's Programmes at Universities, applicants must provide information on and apply for credit transfer for all courses previously completed as part of degree programmes at Master’s level. Credit transfers are limited to passed courses which are part of a Master’s degree programme which has not been completed.

You are obligated to inform Aarhus University of any passed subjects or courses which are part of a Master’s degree programme which has not been completed when you fill out the digital application form for admission to a Master’s degree programme. Please make sure that the information you upload is as detailed as possible. E.g. please attach official and certified transcripts of records and course descriptions in English or in the Scandinavian languages.

If you are granted admission for a Master’s degree programme, Aarhus University assesses whether credit transfers may be granted for previously passed courses or subjects. Credit transfer means that the subjects or courses you have passed previously will substitute subjects or courses at the Master’s degree programme you have been admitted to at Aarhus University.

Please be aware of the fact that there might be disciplinary sanctions if you submit wrong or lacking information to Aarhus University or if you omit to inform Aarhus University of passed subjects or courses which are part of a Master’s degree programme which has not been completed.

If you have not passed any subjects or courses at the same level which are part of a Master’s degree programme which has not been completed, you are not required to do anything.
