Master's rule

Master's rule replaces the education ceiling 

The restriction on the second degree (the education ceiling) has been repealed and replaced by the Master’s rule effective March 1 2020.

The Master’s rule allows applicants who have completed a Danish or a foreign master's programme to be admitted to a new higher educational programme only in case of vacant study places. 

In special cases if you are no longer able to work within the field of the completed programme, the university can exempt you from the rule.
