Selection criteria

There is a limited number of study places.

The following criteria are included in the assessment:

  1. Courses in the following subject areas (ECTS points)
    You will get one point if you have more ECTS in a subject area than required to meet the entry requirements. You can get up to 4 points in total. 

    • Mechanical design, statics, dynamics and 3D CAD (1 point if more than 15 ECTS)
    • Electronics (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
    • Programming (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
    • Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Business administration or Innovation management (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)

  2. Grade point average of your qualifying degree
    • GPA 7 (1 point)
    • GPA 10 (2 point)
    • GPA 12 (3 point)

    Note that if the degree is not completed at the time of application, the grade point average is calculated based on the courses passed at the time of application.

As a Bachelor student at SDU, you can apply for permission to follow up to 30 ECTS Master-level courses even though you have yet to complete your Bachelor’s degree.
