Application types

New programmes and offerings, the merging of degree programmes, separate modules, possibly work-integrated Master’s degree programmes

Please note that the description is primarily aimed at applications for new degree programmes and offerings, but that the method can also be used for other application types. Applications for new degree programmes and offerings are subject to the most extensive documentation requirements. Therefore, the use of the method must reflect the documentation requirements associated with the individual application types and associated guides. Examples of different application types are listed to the extent that the method has been used in specific AU applications.      

Purpose

Legitimacy, general societal and market trends, support more specific analysis of prospective employers.

How

Find out if analyses, reports etc. are already available that point to a labour market need that the degree programme can help to meet,  for example, done by relevant industry organisations etc.      

When           

Initially in the development phase. 

Pros

Can strengthen and add new perspectives to the analysis of prospective employers.

Cons

Can rarely stand alone, as it is not about the need for a specific degree programme.
