uniTEST assesses your ability to think and solve problems in ways that are important for completing a university degree.
You are not tested within a specific subject area, and we do not expect you to know everything before you start your studies.
The uniTEST is designed to assess your general academic abilities – not your subject knowledge. The test focuses on skills that are important for completing a university education, such as problem-solving, critical thinking and understanding written material.

You are not tested on a specific curriculum and the information you need to answer the questions is provided in the test.
If your grades can be converted to the Danish grading system, your application may be assessed in quota 1, where admission is based on your grade point average (GPA).
If you wish to be considered for places allocated through quota 2, you must register for the uniTEST. Your application will then be assessed based on your test results.
However, even though your grades can be converted, SDU recommends that you take the uniTEST regardless.By doing so, you will be assessed based on both your grades and your test results, which improves your chances of admission.
All non-EU/EEA citizens will be invited to take the uniTEST because your grades cannot be converted to the Danish grading system. You will receive your invitation via SDU's self-service system at sdu.dk/admission.
