• Selection Criteria

  Selection Criteria

  Selection Criteria for the Double Degree Program:

  • GPA above C: The grade point average and study progression in your program at NHH are the primary selection criteria. For bachelor students, this refers to your undergraduate studies at NHH. For first-year master’s students, this refers to the autumn semester at NHH. In cases where two candidates have the same GPA and are competing for the same position, subjective criteria such as interview performance, motivation, and relevant experience will be considered.
  • Study progression: Completion of 30 ECTS per semester at NHH.
  • Motivation: Both academic and personal motivation for the Double Degree program and for applying to the specific partner institutions and study programs.
  • Personal aptitude for the program and study environment.
  • Master’s students must also meet the study plan requirements of the prioritized partner schools.
