Admission test
Before the test
Why take uniTEST?
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.
The uniTEST measures your ability to:
- analyse information, argue and make decisions (critical thinking)
- solve problems based on numbers, graphs and general quantitative information (quantitative thinking)
- understand texts and the social and cultural contexts they reflect (linguistic thinking)
You are not tested on a specific curriculum and the information you need to answer the questions is provided in the test.
EU/EEA citizens
If you are an EU/EEA citizen, your application for admission is assessed either based on your grades or via the uniTEST, depending on whether your qualifications can be converted to the Danish grading system.
This means:
- If you are an EU/EEA citizen and your grades can be converted to the Danish grading system, your application will be assessed on your GPA (grade point average).
- If you are an EU/EEA citizen and your grades cannot be converted to the Danish grading system, you will receive an invitation to the uniTEST and your application will be assessed based on the 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.
Non-EU/EEA citizens
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.

You cannot prepare by studying specific subject content for uniTEST, but it is still important to prepare.
uniTEST does not assess your knowledge of specific subjects. Instead, it measures a range of academic abilities. To become familiar with the test format, we recommend reviewing the sample questions before taking the test.
As many questions involve reading and understanding written information within a limited amount of time, it may be helpful to practice reading longer texts and identifying key information quickly.
Additional tests and special conditions
For most bachelor’s programmes, uniTEST is the only admission test. However, some programmes have additional admission steps or offer special test conditions.
Programme-specific tests
For a small number of bachelor’s programmes, admission may also include additional activities such as an interview or a programme-specific test related to the education you have applied for.
If this applies to your programme, you will receive detailed information after you have applied. All communication about additional tests takes place via SDU’s self-service system, sdu.dk/admission.
You can always check whether your chosen programme has additional admission steps under Admission requirements on the individual bachelor programme page.
We are currently planning the quota 2 admission process for 2027. More information will be available on this page from mid-October.
