About the admission figure
The figures in this article are based on AAU's internal record of admissions as of 28 July 2025. The figures here are a snapshot, and may be subject to small shifts – for example, as a result of complaints or the need for corrections. Please note that these are study places offered and 87-89 percent usually answer "yes". It is also possible to be admitted to an available study place in the second round of admissions. Thus, these are not final figures on the number of new students at AAU. Final figures will not be calculated until 1 October 2025.
The statistics in terms of geography, age and gender are drawn from AAU's internal key figures on 18 August. These are updated continuously.
