The following criteria are included in the assessment:

1. Courses in the following subject areas (ECTS points)
   You will get one point if you have more ECTS in a subject area than required to meet the entry requirements. You can get up to 2 points in total.
   
   
   • Mathematics (Mathematics, Statistics and Signal Processing) – 1 point if more than 30 ECTS
   • Physics and technology (Mechanics, Electronics, Electromagnetism, Thermal Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Optic) – 1 point if more than 45 ECTS
     
     
2. Grade point average of your qualifying degree (Danish 7-point grading scale)
   • GPA 7 (1 point)
   • GPA 10 (2 point)
