Architectural Technology and Construction Management (professional bachelor)

About the course

A new English-taught professional bachelor in architectural technology and construction management at UCN in Aalborg. UCN plans to start it in 2027, but it is still awaiting final approval, so the plans may change. It lasts 3.5 years (seven semesters), with a 20-week internship in the sixth semester. You can also leave after 2 years with an academy profession degree. UCN already runs an exchange version, where exchange students take selected semesters, so make sure you apply for the full-degree programme.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Danish institutions accept the Leaving Certificate as an EU school-leaving qualification. Each programme sets subject requirements at Danish levels (A, B or C), and the institution decides how Leaving Cert subjects match those levels. UCN has not yet published entry requirements for this English-taught programme, so ask UCN admissions how it treats Leaving Cert subjects. Do not assume Ordinary Level will be accepted.
• Maths: UCN’s Danish-taught version of this programme (bygningskonstruktør) asks for Danish Mathematics at C level. The English-taught programme’s requirements are not published yet, so confirm the maths requirement with UCN.
• English requirement: UCN has not published one for this programme yet. English-taught programmes in Denmark usually ask for English at the equivalent of Danish B level. Ask UCN whether it accepts Leaving Cert English or needs IELTS or TOEFL.
