Graduates (ordinary)

The table below shows the total number of BA and MA graduates. This method has been chosen to enable comparisons over time. As of 1993, the programme structure gradually changed from undivided programmes to the current structure with three-year Bachelor’s programmes and two-year Master's programmes, and therefore the figures after 1993 comprise both BA and MA graduates.

Student intake

Since 1977, the enrolment for higher education programmes in Denmark has taken place through the Coordinated Admission System (KOT). Applicants can apply for up to eight different study programmes, and the system ensures that they are only admitted in one programme, and in their highest priority possible. The figures represent the total number of active students at Aalborg University as of 1 October each year.
