- The current semester will also be included into the number of semesters. NB! One academic year has two semesters.
- Students who have started directly in a Master's Degree Programme and will apply during their first academic year can use 1,5 as the number or semesters present.
If you have held at least one of the following positions, one semester will be deducted from your number of semester – this will improve your score. The application system has a section to mark this, and the system will calculate your score accordingly. Report also the timing on the Any other remarks field.
