• Bachelor's degree programme in Economics and Business Administration https://bachelor.au.dk/en/economics-and-business-administration

  Model elements: a student applies to a named Bachelor's Degree Programme in Economics and Business Administration.

  The programme lets students customise the fifth semester through a wide range of elective subjects offered on the programme, or by taking a semester as an exchange student at one of AU's partner universities.

  This supports a programme-based model with electives and an exchange semester, but it does not prove a second major as a standard university-wide route.

• Bachelor's degree programme in Cognitive Science https://bachelor.au.dk/en/cognitivescience

  Model elements: in the last year of the Bachelor's degree programme in Cognitive Science, students must choose a supplementary subject.

  The page lists examples such as Contemporary Communication in English, Social Minds, Cultural Data Science, Mathematics and Critical Data Studies.

  This supports programChoice 1: an additional subject block is verified, but it is smaller than the main programme and is not a double major.

• Elective and profile courses at the Faculty of Arts https://studerende.au.dk/en/studies/subject-portals/arts/electivecourses,profilecoursesetc

  Model elements: the Faculty of Arts student portal groups elective courses, supplementary subjects, profile courses, project placement, international elective courses and BA supplementary subjects.

  The page also points to BA supplementary subjects and supplementary subjects abroad.

  The source confirms that the supplementary subject is an institutionalised choice at least in the Arts part of AU, while not proving it as a university-wide double-major model.

• Advance approval, Faculty of Arts https://studerende.au.dk/en/studies/subject-portals/arts/rulesandguidelines/advance-approval-students-at-the-faculty-of-arts

  Model elements: students who want to replace courses on their degree programme with courses taken on another degree programme at AU, another Danish university or a university abroad must gain advance approval.

  The board of studies assesses whether the course can form part of the student's degree programme, and the student must provide course description, level and ECTS weighting.

  The page also states that if an AU course with advance approval is passed, the result is transferred automatically to the degree programme.

• Credit transfer at the Faculty of Arts https://studerende.au.dk/en/studies/subject-portals/arts/rulesandguidelines/credit-transfer-at-the-faculty-of-arts

  Model elements: credit transfer replaces parts of a degree programme with courses passed on another degree programme.

  Students must apply for credit transfer after passing courses at a different university in Denmark or abroad for which advance approval has been granted.

  Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 2 based on verified distribution groups, minor-like blocks, general education or structured elective requirements.

• EDDI study diagram for Economics and Business Administration https://eddiprod.au.dk/EDDI/webservices/StudieoversigtService2.cfc?method=GetStudiediagramData&lang=en&allowOrigin=true&linjeid=28314

  The official EDDI data for the English BSc line shows 6 semesters of 30 ECTS each, 180 ECTS in total.

  The fifth semester consists of 30 ECTS of Elective Courses, while the sixth semester contains Scientific Methods and the Bachelor's Project.

  This confirms the normal 3-year duration and a substantial programme-level elective block, but not a free university-wide catalog.

• EDDI study diagram for Cognitive Science https://eddiprod.au.dk/EDDI/webservices/StudieoversigtService2.cfc?method=GetStudiediagramData&lang=en&allowOrigin=true&linjeid=24832

  The official EDDI data for Cognitive Science shows 6 semesters of 30 ECTS each, 180 ECTS in total.

  The third semester includes a 10 ECTS Internationalisation Elective; the fifth and sixth semesters include TLV blocks of 15 and 30 ECTS.

  This confirms the 3-year degree structure and an additional subject block within the normal bachelor's volume.

• THE profile for Aarhus University https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/aarhus-university

  THE lists Aarhus University at rank 101 in the World University Rankings 2026.

  RAEX-100 2026 is a Russian-university ranking, so the RAEX field is omitted for Aarhus University.
