Admission Requirements

VIA University College expects international students who wish to take part of their degree course at VIA University College to have completed part of their degree course at their home university.

To become an exchange student on the fifth semester of our Bachelor Programme in International Sales and Marketing Management, students need to have studied at least four semesters at their home university in the field of business, management and marketing. This would usually be the first two years of a B.Sc.

We work in close cooperation with the students' home universities. This collaboration is to ensure that each course, which the student completes successfully at VIA University College, is credited at the home university. 

Usually exchange students do not pay tuition fees
Exchange students pay no tuition fee if they come from: 

• institutions which have signed a Bilateral Agreement on exchange of students with VIA University College.
• countries which are full members of the EU or from Norway, Iceland or Lichtenstein.  

If you do not fulfill the above criteria, you can contact our International Coordinator Lise Hjerrild at lh@viauc.dk to hear more about your possibilities.

Language requirements
If you wish to study for one or more semesters at VIA University College, you must be able to speak and write good English. You must be able to understand the spoken English language when following courses and also be able to write your homework and other assignments and reports in English.

In order to be admitted to the Bachelor Programme in International Sales and Marketing Management, you must document your English skills. As documentation of your English language skills, we accept the TOEFL test with a score of at least 80 (internet-based), 213 (computer-based) or 550 (paper-based), or the IELTS test with a score of at least 6.0 in all bands. Further information regarding our language requirements is outlined in English Language Requirements.

If you are an international student who does not meet the English language admission requirements, we invite you to sit for VIA University College's English Language Assessment Test. For further information, please click here.

Applicants who are native speakers from the UK, Australia, the USA, Canada and New Zealand are exempt from the English language admission requirements.
