Educational background
Admission to a bachelor’s programme at SDU is based on your educational background. To assess your qualifications, two things are at play:
- whether your qualifying education is recognised as equivalent to a Danish upper secondary education.
- whether you meet the programme-specific subject requirements.
Both are required for admission.

Your qualifying education
Your upper secondary qualifications must be recognised as equivalent to a Danish upper secondary education. The recognition depends on the country and the type of education.
SDU assesses international exams based on national Danish guidelines.
Specific subject requirements
Each bachelor’s programme has specific requirements for passed subjects and levels (A, B or C). The requirements are based on the Danish upper secondary school system.
You can find the specific subject requirements on the pages for the individual bachelor programme.
Applying with an International Baccalaureate?
If you are applying with an International Baccalaureate (IB), you should be aware that the assessment of your qualifications is different compared to the assessment of national upper secondary educations.
