About admission in general
To apply for admission to a particular programme, you should contact the school where you want to study.
You should ask a student advisor at the school about entry requirements, any supplementary courses and opportunities for credit transfer.
Admission requirements
Your foreign school education must be on a level with a completed Year 9 or 10 of Danish basic education.
It is the headmaster who decides whether you qualify for admission. You may be required to take an admission test.
As an applicant from a foreign school you are eligible for admission to STX, HHX, HTX and the HF, if your education level can be equated with a Year 9 or 10 of Danish basic education according to an assessment by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science. In addition, there are a number of specific requirements (see below).
The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science can make an assessment if you have a completed foreign qualification. If your foreign education is not complete, the Agency can assist the school in interpreting your documents.
