Frequently asked questions

How much does Aarhus University's MSc in International Business cost?
It is tuition-free for EU/EEA and Swiss citizens, as Aarhus University is a public Danish institution. Non-EU/EEA students pay a tuition fee — Aarhus does not publish a single figure that applies across all programmes, so confirm the current tuition for this specific master's on the school's own page. Budget separately for Denmark's relatively high cost of living.
Do you need a GMAT for Aarhus University's MSc in International Business?
No — the GMAT is not required. Admission is grade-based with a limited intake, and Aarhus publishes the ranking it uses when qualified applicants outnumber places: grades from the qualifying degree first, then grades in the relevant subject fields of management and organisational theory and of methods, then relevant subject fields measured in ECTS, a criterion capped at a maximum of 15 points. Entry is a relevant bachelor's degree (180 ECTS) with an itemised 85 ECTS of prerequisite coursework — 10 ECTS quantitative methods or statistics, 7.5 each in marketing, finance, accounting and organisation/leadership theory, 5 each in microeconomics and operations management, 20 further ECTS in those areas and a 10 ECTS bachelor's project — plus documented English proficiency.
Is Aarhus University a good business school?
Aarhus University's school of business and social sciences (Aarhus BSS) is one of the relatively few business schools to hold the triple-crown accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA). The MSc in International Business is a research-based management master with a strong international and exchange orientation, and the tuition-free structure for EU/EEA students makes it a strong-value option in the Nordics.

Limited intake, quoted: "All Master's degree programmes at Aarhus University have limited intake. This means that you are not guaranteed admission even if you meet the entry requirements." The criteria used to rank qualified applicants, in the order the page lists them: (1) "Grades from the qualifying degree"; (2) "Grades achieved in relevant subject fields: Management and organisational theory; Methods"; (3) "Relevant subject fields (measured in ECTS)", where "You can earn a maximum of 15 points in this criterion." The specific-requirement composition totals 85 ECTS: quantitative methods or statistics 10, marketing 7.5, finance 7.5, accounting 7.5, organisation and leadership theory 7.5, microeconomics 5, operations management 5, a further 20 ECTS within those areas, and a 10 ECTS bachelor's project. The page states no relative weighting between the three criteria and no number of places. Re-read twice on the same day to confirm the criteria wording SELECTION CHECKED again 2026-09-11 (P24e) and reproduced: the three ranking criteria are still "Grades from the qualifying degree", "Grades achieved in relevant subject fields: Management and organisational theory, Methods" and relevant subject fields measured in ECTS at "1 point per additional ECTS within the relevant field. You can earn a maximum of 15 points in this criterion", with "If you have a legal right of admission, you are guaranteed a place in the programme and do not need to consider the ranking criteria" and "grades achieved after the application deadline are not included in the assessment". The page states no weighting or ordering between the three, so this profile should not imply one. No admission test appears anywhere on the page ↗ — Aarhus University
