Admission to the Master’s program in Software Development requires a Bachelor degree. Students with a Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Informatics or a similar degree cannot be admitted.

Admission to the Master´s program in DE, ESE, MI, students requires a Bachelor degree in computer science or a closely related area from an accredited university or engineering college and have achieved a good grade. All applicants are expected to have a solid background in mathematics and computer science and must be proficient in the English language.

Although each application is assessed individually, the following are minimal requirements for admission:(Except Software Development)

1. A solid computer science background that includes courses on:
   1. Theory of Computation (Automata Theory, Computability, Turing Machines)
   2. Computer Systems (Processors, Memories etc.)
   3. Algorithms and Data Structures (Lists, Trees, Graphs, sorting, searching, complexity)
   4. Object Oriented Analysis and Dsign (UML etc.)
   5. Object Oriented Programming (Java or C++)
   6. Programming Languages and Semantics
   7. Compiling Techniques
   8. Operating Systems
   9. Concurrent Programming
   10. Networks
2. In addition, we require undergraduate mathematics as found in science or engineering degrees.
3. Some programming and design experience.
4. A decent grade, e.g. First Class - we would like to think that you are at least in the top 25% of your class.

It is a great help, if your application explains, why you satisfy these requirements.

It is recommended that applications are submitted well in advance of the beginning of the semester.

Aalborg University has a long tradition and much experience in student exchange, and can be of assistance with accommodation and other practical matters. Normally, this assistance is offered only if the application is received at least three months prior to the beginning of the semester.
