Business Academy Aarhus offers different Academy Profession (AP) and Bachelor's degree programmes. All the programmes are practice-oriented higher education programmes. This means that we combine theory and practice, and that we teach the theories enabling you to solve practical problems.
At Business Academy Aarhus we offer both Academy Profession Degree Programmes (AP degree) and Bachelor's programmes.
An AP degree programme corresponds to the first two years of a Bachelor's programme. A full-time AP degree programme provides you with 120-150 ECTS points depending on the specific programme. After completing the 2 years of studying, you receive a final diploma.
The AP degree programme provides qualifications in itself but may also be a dynamic way to get a long-cycle education. Therefore you have the option to enter work life directly after your final exams or continue your studies to a Bachelor’s degree at one of our top-up programmes or at another institution in Denmark or abroad.
