Students applying for the EnCHiL Nordic Master must at minimum have obtained a Bachelor’s degree corresponding to a minimum 180 ECTS credits from an internationally recognised university, including a minimum of 90 ECTS of studies in natural sciences and technology. Students in their final year of their bachelor’s studies are eligible to apply, provided they complete their degree by the start of the EnCHiL programme. Minimum average grade from a bachelor programme of at least equal to C on the ECTS grading scale (grades from other grade systems will be converted to this scale by the admission office). The EnCHiL programme is taught in English, so if you are not a native English speaker you need to demonstrate proficiency in English. This can be done by either taking a language test or submitting information about previous studies in English. You need to upload proofs that you meet those requirements and those can be proven in three different ways: What is considered adequate foreign English studies is specified per country and follows the entry rules of Lund University for international M.Sc. students. You can find those country-based language requirements here. Please note that it is ONLY the language proficiency requirements we are using from Lund University web-page. Non-native English speaking applicants can also demonstrate their proficiency in English by means of an internationally recognised test: TOEFL: Paper-based (PBT): Min score of 580 (written section grade 4.5) / Paper: (rPDT) Min score of 20 in each section (22 in written section) / Internet-based test (IBT): Min total score of 92 (written section 22) IELTS: 6.5, no section lower than 5.5 (only IELTS Academic Training accepted) PTE Academic. Min of 62; where of 54 in communication skills section. Please note that the language test must not be older than two years. For all applicants, a university degree (or polytechnic/university of applied science degree) completed in English in one of the EU/EEA countries or Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland or the USA is also an acceptable way of demonstrating academic English language skills. Such degree must include a minimum of what is equal to 60 ECTS studies given in English.

Online studies or studies completed on offshore campuses outside the accepted countries cannot be used to indicate language skills, even if the degree-awarding institution is located in one of the accepted countries. Online language studies or open university studies are not acceptable when indicating language skills.

The Environmental Changes at Higher Latitudes Master program (4 semesters, 30 ECTS each) presents an interdisciplinary/multidimensional knowledge base in ecosystem and environmental science to work with the issues at stake in the Arctic region as well as knowledge about societies and governance.
A Degree of Master (120 credits) is awarded after the student has completed the courses required to gain 120 credits with a defined specialization determined by each higher education institution itself. 
A requirement for the award of a Masters’ Degree is completion by the student of an independent project (Master Thesis) for at least 30 credits in the main field of study. The program offers the students a variety of courses in the fields of bio geophysics, physical geography, meteorology, biogeochemistry, climatology and (arctic) ecosystem science. The courses are offered by a consortium of seven partners, including the three degree-awarding Universities: Agricultural University of Iceland, University of Helsinki, and University of Lund. Students obtain a double degree from two of the three universities, with always the Agricultural University of Iceland (AUI) as one of the two. For the degree, the student attends the first semester in one of the three degree-awarding universities. In the second semester, the students are always in Iceland for coursework, including one field course in Greenland. All students need to have a compulsory mobility period of one semester at the second university, which is the second semester at AUI for students starting at LU/UH and the third semester at LU/UH for students starting at AUI.  
During the second year of the EnCHiL program, the students can choose to be located at one of the seven partner universities/institutes, depending on interest for specific courses and on their thesis study. The four associated parties are University of Oulu, Finland, Aarhus University, Denmark, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Estonia, and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Greenland.
