See the specific admission requirements for Chemical Biology 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 Chemical Biology

In order to qualify for admission your bachelor's degree must contain 60 ECTS from within the natural sciences or engineering, of which 30 ECTS must be within chemistry.

The 30 ECTS in chemistry must include at least:

• 5 ECTS physical chemistry
• 5 ECTS organic chemistry with laboratory  
• 5 ECTS analytical 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 at Roskilde University you have a legal right  of admission (retskrav) to the master's programme in Chemical Biology.

Bachelor’s degrees in Natural Sciences

• Chemistry + Bioprocess Science
• Chemistry + Environmental Biology
• Chemistry + Mathematics
• Chemistry + Medicinalbiologi
• Chemistry + Molecular Biology
• Chemistry + Physics
• Kemi + Fysik
• Kemi + Medicinalbiologi

In order to use your legal right of admission to the master's programme in Chemical Biology, 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.
