A professional Master’s degree programme is a Master’s programme that includes an element of concurrent employment. Under the political agreement on the framework for the reform of university programmes in Denmark (the Master’s Degree Reform), such programmes can be organised either on a part-time basis or as a combination of full-time and part-time study.

At Aarhus University, two main paths are established for a professional Master’s degree:

• Flexible professional Master’s: a 120 ECTS professional Master’s programme consisting of 4 years of part-time study with employment in a public or private organisation

• 1+2 professional Master’s: a 120 ECTS professional Master’s programme consisting of 1 year of full-time study with student grant (SU), followed by 2 years of part-time study with employment in a public or private organisation
