The national application system KOT features 3 different groups of applicants:
- Quota 1: Applicants with a Danish qualifying examination
- Quota 2: Applicants with a foreign qualifying examination and citizenship from an EU/EEA country
- Quota 3: Applicants having a qualifying examination and a citizenship from a non EU/EEA country
Application deadline for applicants with a foreign qualifying examination, including the International Baccalaureat, is 15 March, noon, via www.optagelse.dk.
The admission process varies, depending on which quota your application belongs to and of course which programme you have applied to. Read more about the different quotas:

How your application gets assessed
You will be evaulated in several ways: on the basis of your qualifying examination, the result of the aptitude test - a multiple choice test, which is general for the whole university and an interview/specific test or a motivated application.
We will automatically assess your application in quota 1 if you have applied via quota 2 and your qualifying examination fulfills the requirements of the given GPA - this applies to both Danish and non-Danish examinations
As a part of the entry requirements in quota 2, most programmes at SDU require that you attend
the aptitude test (uniTEST) - a multiple choice test which is general for the whole university.
-
Quota 3
You have to apply via quota 3, if you...
- are a citizen of a country outside EU/EEA/Switzerland
- are resident in Denmark without a permanent residence permit/visa
How your application gets assessed
The admission process in quota 3 is exactly the same as in quota 2 - all applicants have to take the aptitude test/specific test/interview if the programme they have applied for, requires it.
All applicants with a citizenship from a non-EU/EEA country have to pay tuition fees, unless you have obtained a residence permit in Denmark where payment is not necessary.
