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.
