FAQ
If you meet the admission requirements, you apply for admission through the Danish applications system, optagelse.dk.
In the application system you must upload your application and required documentation of your educational background.
The application deadline is 15 March at 12 noon (CET).
Your eligibility is assessed on your qualifying education and programme-specific subject requirements.
Your upper secondary qualifications must be recognised as equivalent to a Danish upper secondary education.
That depends on your citizenship.
If you are an EU/EEA citizen, your admission is assessed either based on your grades or via an admission test (uniTEST) depending on whether your qualifications can be converted to the Danish grading system.
This means:
- EU/EAA citizens whose grades can be converted are assessed on grade point average (GPA)
- EU/ EEA citizens whose grades cannot be converted will receive an invitation to uniTEST and are assessed based on the results
All non-EU citizens will be invited to uniTEST because their grades cannot be converted to the Danish grading system.
