Acts of parliament, ministerial orders, rules and strategies all form part of a hierarchy. No rule may ever contravene the rule located above it in this hierarchy. For instance, AU’s rules about exams may not conflict with the Ministerial Order on University Examinations and Grading. This means that the academic regulations must comply with all the rules above them in the hierarchy.

The Bologna process is not part of the legal system; but academic regulations at the Faculty of Arts must live up to the agreements of the Bologna process because Denmark is part of this European collaboration, the aim of which is to create a joint space for programmes of higher education in Europe. For more information about the Bologna process, please see information about academic regulations.
The use of ECTS credits has been compulsory in all programmes of higher education in Denmark since 2001.
ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer System. The ECTS system is an international system of credits. One year of full-time study is the equivalent of 60 ECTS credits. In other words, the number of ECTS credits indicates the standard workload represented by a given course or study programme. In a joint European context, this means that a typical full-time student is expected to have a workload of between 1,500 and 1,800 hours in one year of study in order to achieve the academic objectives of their programme. When drawing up academic regulations, departments must ensure that the student’s workload and the academic objectives of the courses concerned match the number of ECTS credits stated.
