• General proficiency/marks in the qualifying degree program
• Knowledge of social science methodology. If it is not evident from the diploma and/or transcript that the courses in question are courses in social science methodology, you can attach documentation and explain why these are nonetheless relevant methodology courses.
• Relevant academic experience, including relevant work experience. Describe the academic and work-related experience that you have acquired and its relevance towards the MSc in Anthropology (max. 1 page)

Do you have a master degree?

If you already have a master's degree from Denmark or another country, you can, in principle, only be admitted to a new degree programme if there are places available on the programme for which you are applying for admission (the master's degree admission rule).

In exceptional cases, we may grant dispensation from the master’s degree admission rule.
