- Credit transfer and pre-approval of credit transfer are always granted on the basis of an individual academic assessment.
- It is not possible to transfer credits from a Master's degree programme to a professional Master's degree programme, or vice versa.
- A Master's thesis that forms part of a completed degree programme cannot be transferred for credit.
- Pre-approval of credit transfer for courses from other Danish universities is only granted when the ECTS weighting is the same. However, credits may be transferred as a block. For example, two courses worth 7.5 ECTS credits each may be transferred as a 15 ECTS credit block to another 15 ECTS credit block, for example one consisting of a 10 ECTS credit course and a 5 ECTS credit course. For courses from universities outside Denmark, there is greater flexibility in accepting minor differences in ECTS weighting.
- Credit transfer and pre-approval of credit transfer may be granted for compulsory courses taken at other Danish universities when there is sufficient correspondence in terms of the courses' academic level, content and focus. For courses from universities outside Denmark, a lower degree of overlap in content and focus is typically accepted.
- Credit transfer and pre-approval of credit transfer may be granted for elective courses when the course is broadly relevant to the degree programme and when it can be argued that the elective course gives the degree programme the desired academic profile.
