With a foreign exam, you must always apply for admission no later than 15 March at 12:00 (midday).
With a Danish exam you can enhance your chances of admission, if you apply no later than 15 March at 12:00 (in quota 2), because your application will be considered in both quota 2 and in quota 1, if you meet the requirements for quota 1.

- upload a motivational letter (in English) to optagelse.dk no later than 15 March at 12:00 (midday).

You must upload your motivational letter by no later than 15th March, noon via www.optagelse.dk. The letter must be written in English.
We expect your motivational letter to reflect your:
- Personal qualities
You are expected to elaborate on how your personal competences fit with the study programme (European and international social science focus)

You are expected to amplify why you apply for this study programme. You are expected to elaborate on what the study programme is all about and how it matches your expectations

uniTEST is a test of your general prerequisites for completing a university education. It is a multiple-choice test that consists of 95 questions and lasts 2½ hours.
uniTEST is online from March 28 - April 26, 2025.
Test content
The test is about your ability to think about and answer questions where all the necessary information is available. So you are not tested on fingertip knowledge or your qualifications within specific subject areas.
Instead, you will be asked questions to uncover your ability to:
- analyse, argue and make decisions (critical thinking)
- solve problems based on general quantitative information such as numbers, spreadsheets and graphs (quantitative thinking)
- understand a text as well as the social and cultural contexts it is an expression of (linguistic thinking)
How we evaluate your test score
You can achieve a test score between 0 and 100. To pass you need a minimum of 37.
Passing the test means that you are in the pool of applicants with a possibility of progressing. The actual score needed to progress may be higher depending on the number of applicants and how other applicants perform.
For this programme, however, you are guaranteed admission with a minimum score of 55 points.
Weighting of the question categories
When your test score is calculated, the weighting of the three categories depends on the programme you apply for. If you apply for more than one programme, you may therefore achieve different scores related to each of the programmes.
For this programme the questions categories are weighted equally.
The interview is held online via Zoom on June 3 and 4, 2025.
The interview is based on your motivational letter. We will assess your professional and social skills within the areas:
- Personal qualities
You are expected to elaborate on how your personal competences fit with the study programme (European and international social science focus)
- Motivation
You are expected to amplify why you apply for this study programme. You are expected to elaborate on what the study programme is all about and how it matches your expectations
- Insight into the study programme
You are evaluated on your knowledge, insight and understanding of the study programme content.
