Bachelor's degree from Denmark

EU, EEA or Swiss citizens

In order for you to be offered admission, you need to have a qualifying bachelor’s degree or another qualifying degree at the same educational level:

  • Some bachelor’s degrees have already been assessed to meet the academic admission requirements. See the list of Bachelor’s degrees that automatically fulfil the academic admission requirements.

  • If your degree does not fulfill the academic admission requirements automatically, the study board will evaluate you application individually. This means that the study board evaluate whether your degree can meet the admission requirements based on its academic content.
