How to apply
Apply on optagelse.dk
All bachelor’s applications go through the national portal. You can rank up to eight programmes.
Know your quota
Quota 1 ranks you on your grade average alone. Quota 2 looks at your whole profile, and it is the route for most international applicants.
Meet the specific subject levels
Each degree lists required subjects at Danish A, B or C level. Your school subjects are converted to these levels.
Apply by mid-March
International applicants and everyone in quota 2 must apply by the March deadline. Answers arrive at the end of July.
Cost
Free for EU, EEA and Swiss students. Others pay tuition set by each university. Living costs are high, though students who work part-time may qualify for state support.
Language
English-taught degrees need English at Danish B or A level, shown by IELTS, TOEFL or your school results.
Good to know
Denmark has reduced the number of English-taught bachelor’s places in recent years, so check each programme carefully.
