As a freemover you must submit a valid English language test to your application unless:

• You are a native speaker with an English taught qualifying exam (including applicants with a qualifying examination from USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Scotland, or Ireland). Please note that applicants with a qualifying examination from all other countries (including African and Asian countries, where the exam has been taught in English) must submit a test.
• You have an English taught Bachelor’s or a Master's Degree from USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Scotland, or Ireland.
• You hold a Nordic/Duborg/IB or ScholaEuropaea European Baccalaureate entrance examination with an English level the Danish Agency for higher Education considers comparable to a B level.
• You are studying at a partner university which has approved your course to be inserted into your study programme.
• You are a phd.student

If none of the above is the case you must submit a valid English test before we can accept your application. The test result must not be more than two years old, but if you do not currently hold a valid English test it is possible to submit the test results later on also after the application deadline. The deadline for submitting your language test results is May 15^th. The list of accepted language test is as follows:

TOEFL
Test result of at least 83.
The Aarhus University TOEFL code is 8935.

IELTS:

English B – IELTS Academic test result of at least 6.5 points.

Cambridge ESOL examinations
English B – Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) (only grades A, B or C) or First Certificate with grade A or 180 points as a minimum on the Cambridge English Scale.

Unless otherwise announced in the course description found in the course catalogue, seats in any given course will be distributed to the following groups in descending order:

• Aarhus University students from primary or related programme offering the course
• Aarhus University students from any other study program
• Exchange students and students from other Danish universities
• Freemovers

Within these groups the seats will distributed as described in the course description. 

It is really hard to predict how likely it is that we are able to accept your application, this really depends on what applicant type you are and how popular the course you are applying for is. So our best advice is to have 3 priorities. This way we will hopefully be able to offer you one of the three courses.

In that case there will be a second application round from May 1 - June 1 where courses with empty seats are offered in a second allocation round, where you can apply again for different courses.

The first thing you can do to make sure you are qualified for admission for a specific course is to familiarize yourself with the prerequisites. You can see the specific prerequisites for each course on their course page. 
Apart from that all you can do is to send your application with the required documents attached. When we receive it, we will assess it shortly after and let you know if you are qualified for admission or if we need anything else from you/if you need to consider different courses or e.g take an English test in order to be qualified for admission.
We will send you an e-mail in either case so you know. 
Please note that being qualified for admission is not the same as being accepted/admitted, but it means that you will be admitted to the highest possible priority where there is space according to the general selection criteria when we start the admission process. 

If we are not able to admit you into any of your priorities we will refer you to our second allocation round. 

You will have to pay by credit card via the online webshop link what we will send you with the acceptance letter. You will have 1 week to pay from the day you receive the acceptance letter.

Yes, you can get a full refund upon cancellations made at least two weeks prior to course start. It is not possible to get a refund for cancellations made within two weeks of course start    

You should contact the international office at your home university and please refer them to this page when you do.

No, your nomination must also be accepted by the receiving department/academic area at Aarhus University. If your nomination is not approved by AU or your home university will not nominate you, you can consider  applying as a freemover fee paying student instead.

No. It is unfortunately not possible to take more than one course in each term, as they are taught concurrently.   

The fee only covers the actual course fee.

This means that books, course material, housing, social program and meals are not included in the fees and must be paid separately.

Estimated budget for one month in Aarhus:

Social Activities: 100-140 EUR

Housing: 430 EUR

Meals: 200 EUR

Transport: 40 EUR

Books: 40 EUR

Total: 810-850 EUR

No! Unfortunately, we do not have any kind of scholarships available for AU Summer University courses.

If you are applying as a freemover, you will have to pay the EU-fee if you

• Are an EU Citizen
• Have a permanent residence permit in Denmark
• Have a temporary residence permit with a view to/possibility of permanent residence in Denmark
• Are under the Children of workers from non-EU/EEA countries rule

If none of the above applies to you, you have to pay the NON-EU fee. You can find the EU and non-EU fee for each course on the individual course sites.

The maximum amount of ECTS points you can take is 20, and the maximum of courses you can take is two, but only if their teaching dates do not overlap. So, you can take 5,10,15 or 20 points - but all our courses are either 5 or 10 ects.     

Usually between 9-12 for 5 ects point courses and 9-13 for 10 ects point course, this is what we will recommend the lecturers and most of them follow our advice. You will receive a detailed schedule and syllabus in June in good time before the course starts so you know what to prepare.
