Each course description is based on the same template. The following explains the key points.
Language
If the language is indicated as “Danish”, the course is taught in Danish. If it is indicated as “English”, the course can be followed by English-speaking students either because the course is taught in English or because there is a special course of study for international students.
Credit points
The workload is calculated in ECTS credit points (European standard), where 60 credit points corresponds to one man-year.
Type
- “Foundation courses”: the department’s core courses, which as a rule are offered for at least three years.
- “Initiative courses”: this course type can be offered and suspended at short notice. Such courses can be study groups that reflect the department’s research activities or they can be offered based on student interest.
Blocking of credit points
Other courses which resemble in content the course in question to a great degree and which, therefore, do not carry credit points along with that course.
Compulsory requirements
For reasons of safety, students are required to pass courses specified as “compulsory” before enrolling in the course in question. If you are uncertain whether you meet the requirements for following the course, you are welcome to contact the contact person for the course.
Academic requirements
Courses listed under “academic requirements” represent the academic qualifications needed to enrol in the course in question. If you are uncertain whether your academic qualifications meet the requirements for following the course, you are welcome to contact the contact person for the course.
Preferred qualifications
It is preferable that these courses are taken either prior to or along with the course in question. In the list of courses, a slash (/) means or (i.e. only one of the courses), while a full stop (.) means and (i.e. both/all of the courses).
Recommended semester
The specific semester in a course of study when it is recommended that the course in question be taken. This can give you an idea of the academic level of the course.
