International students in Denmark can choose between a range of different programmes:

There are three types of institutions – each with a different profile but all offering high quality education. This gives you a great variety of study options – not least because the different institutions co-operate in various areas and there are different credit transfer opportunities. So there are plenty of opportunities regardless of whether you are interested in a research-oriented programme or one which is more professionally oriented and applied.

Higher education in Denmark is regulated by the state, and all public institutions are subject to continuous approval and evaluation processes. The institutions have a high degree of autonomy, but they are required to follow the national regulations for e.g. teacher qualifications, degree structures and examinations, including a system of external examiners.

The regulations define the national standards for Danish higher education and ensure that all students obtain an education of the highest quality. A nationally established – fully independent – accreditation agency assures the quality and the relevance of higher education programmes. Furthermore many institutions have obtained international accreditation for their programmes.

All institutions of higher education in Denmark use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), which facilitates international credit transfer. Students receive certificates or other types of documentation for all completed courses. All students who complete a full degree or a diploma programme receive a Diploma Supplement in English.
