See the specific admission requirements for Environmental Science below. If your bachelor’s degree has not been preapproved, the Admissions Office will assess if the academic content of your educational background fulfils the specific admission requirements. This is based on an individual, academic assessment.

We are not able to assess your qualifications before you apply for a master’s programme.

Specific admission requirements for Environmental Science

In order to qualify for admission your bachelor’s degree must contain at least 90 ECTS natural science elements. The 90 ECTS must include:

• 35 ECTS in biological sciences, earth sciences or environmental sciences  
• 10 ECTS in natural science methodology, including experimental studies in biology, geography, physics, geology or chemistry

The University makes an individual assessment of whether your qualifications cover the above subject areas to a sufficient extend based on the documents that you upload with your application. 

Please note that only formal qualifications (ECTS/credits) are assessed, and that the university only takes ECTS/credits passed as part of or prior to the graduation date of the bachelor’s programme into account.

If you have completed one of the following bachelor’s programmes you have a legal right  of admission (retskrav) to the master's programme in Environmental Science.

Bachelor’s degrees in Natural Sciences:

• Bioprocess Science + Molecular Biology
• Environmental Biology + Bioprocess Science
• Environmental Biology + Chemistry
• Environmental Biology + Computer Science
• Environmental Biology + Datalogi
• Environmental Biology + Fysik
• Environmental Biology + Geografi
• Environmental Biology + Mathematics
• Environmental Biology + Medicinalbiologi
• Environmental Biology + Molecular Biology
• Environmental Biology + Physics
• Environmental Biology + Teknologisk-samfundsvidenskabelig planlægning, TekSam

In order to use your legal right of admission to the master's programme in Environmental Science, you must apply for admission to the master's programme in accordance with current application deadlines and procedures.

If you apply after the application deadline you may only be admitted if the university offers vacant study places.
