Admission Criteria

Students are admitted on the basis of application documents. At this application stage ÅAU only requires scanned copies in colour and in pdf format. Students must fulfil the formal admission criteria in order to be admitted. Relevance of former studies and grades for these are considered. A Bachelor´s degree with peace studies, psychology, anthropology, or law as major subject is required. A score for major subject (in parenthesis) is given as follows: peace studies (40), psychology (40), anthropology (36), law (36). The score is then multiplied with a quotient based on the grade point average (GPA), varying from 0-1.00, with 1.00 representing the highest possible grade of previous studies.
