The Study Board wants to ensure a sound research based teaching with qualified teachers and sufficient teaching facilities. Due to the fact that the programme receives an increasing number of applications from holders of professional bachelor degrees and holders of international degrees, we have to maintain a moderate increase, and ensure that the students have the right academic competences. This regulation will support the development of a good practice for the education; for both Danish and international students. Students who have a legitimate claim to the programme cf. § 6 of the curriculum of the masters of Social Sciences in Economics and Business Administration will be accepted in any case. Acceptance of graduates of relevant professional bachelor programmes and graduates of educations with an unknown or uncertain university level of Social Science Studies will be individually assessed on the basis of the presented documentation of the application.

The Study Board emphasises academic competences within sociological organization analysis, methods of Social Sciences, a broad scientific theoretical understanding, and are capable of building up and working with problem oriented argumentation.
