Academic Requirements
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the MA programme must have completed a bachelors degree in psychology or a humanistic subject. Certain bachelors degree programmes not belonging to these two categories may be accepted by the Board of Studies at the Scandinavian Department, if the candidate for admission is able to argue convincingly for the relevance of the bachelors degree.Selection Criteria
As the Masters programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. The admissions committee assesses each applicant on the basis of the average mark or GPA of the bachelors degree at the time of application. Marks obtained after the application deadline will not be included in the GPA.
Please note: If there are more academically qualified applicants than places available, each applicant will be assessed according to the following criteria: academic background (counts 75 per cent) based on the number and quality of BA exams relevant to the MA programme; and other relevant experience (counts 25 per cent) based on the CV and the applicants statement of relevance.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
