Before applying for assessment of your qualifications

See the requirements for assessment, and find the right application form.

The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science makes level assessments of non-Danish qualifications for use in Denmark. You can get an assessment of your qualification if...

  • you have completed the qualification,
  • the qualification is publicly recognised in the country of education,
  • the qualification corresponds to a level in the country's formal education system, and
  • you use our application form and document your education.

The assessment normally takes a maximum of two months from the time we receive the application and the required documentation.

The assessment is free of charge, but does not include translation of documents.

Do you have an upper secondary qualification and are you applying for admission to a degree programme?

It is not necessary to get an assessment before applying for admission. Danish educational institutions can contact the Agency directly to get quick answers about foreign exams.

Prepare and submit your application:


Are you helping someone else get an assessment?

If you are applying on behalf of someone with a foreign qualification, you must attach a power of attorney from that person.

 

Please note:

Grades and subject levels are not assessed

If you apply for admission to a higher education programme, the educational institution will assess whether your non-Danish exam satisfies the requirements concerning grades and subject levels.

Some professions require approval

Check whether you need authorization or other approval to work in the profession:
