The prerequisite for admission to the program is completion of an undergraduate university degree; it is irrelevant whether this is a BA, BS or BEd.  Application and registration forms are available both in electronic form and for printing. Each applicant will also write a personal letter in which he or she will talk about him- or herself; will explain the reasons why he or she is interested in this program and his or her expectations for the program.


English ability


Applicants must have a good command of English, as all instruction takes place in English. It is assumed that applicants from Iceland, the Scandinavian countries, English-speaking countries, and from universities where all teaching takes place in English will have satisfactory English skills and knowledge. Other applicants must demonstrate that their English ability is sufficient by submitting TOEFL scores or results from other equivalent tests.
