Postgraduate
We require a five year Candidatus/Candidata Magisterii or a bachelor’s degree (post-1993). The current scale, syvtrinsskalaen (The 7-step-scale), was introduced in 2007, and replaces the old 13-skala ("13-scale"). The new scale is designed to be compatible with the ECTS-scale. Syvtrinsskalaen consists of seven different grades, ranging from 12 to -3, with 12 being the highest. Pre-2007, the grading scale ranged from 1-13, with 13 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.
Please note that the Magisterii is equivalent to a British taught master’s; it is acceptable to consider an applicant who has not finished their Magisterii but has completed four years of the course instead of five. It is also acceptable to accept lower grades from a Magisterii than you would from a bachelor’s degree.
