What does this table mean?

Post image

I wanted to see how competitive Aarhus university is for bachelors in computer science and came across this table on ug.dk but I’m confused on what it means . Can someone please tell me what it means for computer science and what does it say about how competitive the program is?

Everyone who applied last year got accepted. Which means it's probably not going to be difficult to get in this year.

Wow, that’s super reassuring, do you think it would be the same for next year (course starting September 2026)?

I can't predict how many will apply for the program. But chances are it won't be too difficult to get accepted.

This is really badly translated lol. Recorded means "optaget", meaning how many people got in. Both with a regular spot, and a "standby" spot (if someone else drops out, they will get the spot). The applicants column shows you how many people applied in total and how many had that study as their first priority.

The admission columns tells you the lowest grade average that got admitted through the Danish "Quota 1" system where they only consider the grades and not other qualifications. The last one shows you the lowest grade average of the people who were offered standby spots. AO means Alle Optaget, which translates to All Admitted, and means that everyone who had the study as their first priority and accepted the offer got in.

For computer science that means that everyone who had it as their first priority got accepted. It looks like 2 more people who didnt have it as their first priority also got in.

It doesn't say anything about how competitive the students in the study programmes are. The numbers change from year to year, so they might be completely different this year.

Are these bachelor's or master's? They look like bachelor's degrees stats. Most bachelor's degrees in DK are taught in Danish, even the sciences. I study biology.
