Entry requirements
Entry requirements
You are qualified for (but not guaranteed) admission to the programme if you:
A) Fulfil the language requirement by the application deadline
B) Fulfil the specific entry requirements below
C) Have a bachelor degree (or will by study start)
The programme has a limited number of places. If there are more qualified applicants than places available at a programme, there will be a selection process, according to the selection criteria below. In other words, fulfilment of the entry requirements does not guarantee admission.
Language Requirements
The programme requires English at Danish level B, and only the qualifications listed on the English level B page are accepted as alternative fulfilment.
The English language requirement must be fulfilled by the application deadline.
SPECIFIC ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Your educational background will be subject to an overall individual assessment in order to establish if your bachelor's degree qualifies you for the programme and the academic areas listed below are covered in full and as prescribed.
The specific entry requirements are min. 30 ECTS-points within one or more of the following areas:
- Organisation
- Quantitative methods
- Economics
- IT
- Epidemiology
- Human biology
- Pathology
- Physiology/anatomy
- Biochemistry/organic chemistry
CBS Admissions is not able to pre-assess your qualifications ahead of the application round.
To help you to prepare your application, you have the following two options:
- Check below if we have already published an advance assessment for your bachelor degree
- If your bachelor degree is not listed in the advance assessments below, you can make your own self-assessment using the self-assessment (course match) form further down
Advance assessments
The following advance assessments are valid for the 2023 admission round for applicants whose bachelor degree exactly matches the university, degree title and enrolment year listed.
The advance assessments are based on the obligatory courses as listed in the programme regulations. If you have obligatory courses that have been credit transferred from elsewhere, we will not use the advance assessment and will instead assess your courses using the available documentation.
The advance assessments are grouped accordingly:
- Qualifying Bachelor Degrees:
Your obligatory courses fulfil the specific entry requirements
- Potentially Qualifying Bachelor Degrees:
Your obligatory courses do not fully cover the specific entry requirements. You will therefore need to either choose relevant electives or take supplementary qualifying courses to fulfil the requirements.
- Non-qualifying Bachelor Degrees:
Your obligatory courses do not fulfil the specific entry requirements and it is unlikely that elective courses and/or taking supplementary qualifying courses will help you to fulfil the requirements in full.
Your bachelor degree could be placed in different categories for different enrolment years.
Fulfilment of the entry requirements does not guarantee admission. Read more under ‘Selection Criteria’.
