At the Faculty of Natural Sciences we offer many bachelor level courses and all our master level courses in English.
You can see our English taught courses below.
- You must take 20-30 ECTS of your courses at the department (subject area) that you apply to.
- If you meet the academic requirements, you can also choose up to 10 ECTS courses from another department at Faculty of Natural Sciences or Faculty of Technical Sciences.
- In order to register for a course, you must meet the specific academic prerequisites. You can see all our courses and their academic prerequisites in our course catalogue.
- As a 3rd year bachelor student you may choose master level courses if you meet the academic prerequisites.
- You are expected to be flexible regarding your course selection as your first priority choices may not be available.
- You cannot register for a Bachelor's or Master's thesis module.
General information
If you are a MASTER LEVEL exchange student and you have a relevant academic background, you have the opportunity to choose to study the spring semester in Greenland!
The Arctic Science Study Programme (ASSP) offered in Nuuk, Greenland gives your education an Arctic angle and provides you with first-hand experience of working in and with the climate, environment and communities of the Arctic.
! Please be aware that it is not possible to register for courses that take place in Aarhus and in Greenland in the same semester !
You therefore have to choose between a whole semester in Nuuk or a whole semester in Aarhus.
Here you can find more information about the Arctic Science Study Programme (ASSP) and the course package offered in Nuuk.
How do I apply?
You must be nominated by your home university and apply as an exchange student via our exchange system and you must choose the subject area "Biology - Arctic semester in Greenland" in your application.
You should also apply for the spring semester on this page.
