Master's programmes at Aalborg University

What is a master's programme?
A master's (MA) programme is a coherent education leading to a master's degree. It is also called a postgraduate programme, however, at AAU’s websites, you will mostly see the term “master’s programme”.
Admission for a master's programme requires a completed bachelor’s degree from either AAU or another university. Some master's programmes also admit students with a professional bachelor's degree.
AAU’s master's programmes are well-known for
- Group- and project work
- Problem-based learning
- Research-based education
- Students are at the centre of learning
- Professional and social network through groupwork
Changes to Master's Programmes
A national reform of all Danish university master's programmes is on the way, which will take effect with the 2028 admissions. Implementing the reform is a work in progress at Aalborg University.
Read more about the reform's impact on AAU's master's programmes (danish webpage).
