ADMISSION REQUIREMENT

Admission requirements at Danish higher education institutions.

International students wishing to study a full Danish degree programme should be aware that admission requirements vary from programme to programme.

You are eligible to apply for admission to an undergraduate programme if you hold a qualification comparable to a Danish qualifying examination. Please check whether your qualifications are recognized in Denmark. We would advise you to contact the institution you are interested in for more information about the specific admission requirements.

All programmes require a high proficiency in English. For admission to programmes in Danish, you are also required to prove that you have a sufficiently high level of Danish by taking the Study test of Danish as a Foreign Language or The Danish Test 2 . Some programmers may require that you have passed The Danish Test 3 . In addition, some of the study programmes have additional admission requirements, such as prior studies of a specific subject area or areas, practical work experience etc.  

Admission requirements for Master's programmes (candidate’s programmes) are:

The general admissions requirements for PhD studies include a Candidates/Master's degree or equivalent (comparable to the Danish two-year Candidates/Master’s degree) In some areas, a four-year PhD programme is offered to students who have completed a Bachelor’s qualification and one year of study at postgraduate level.

Each institution is responsible for their own admission and further information about entrance qualifications, additional tests and potential credit transfer can be obtained at the institutions' admissions offices. However, The Danish Agency for International Education also provides general information on assessment of foreign qualifications for admission to the Danish higher education programmes.
