Pre-assessment of qualifications
When can you request a pre-assessment?
You can request a pre-assessment once a year during the application period:
- 1 October – 15 November
- Deadline for submitting additional documentation: 30 November
If your request contains all required documentation, º£½ÇÉçÇø aims to complete the pre-assessment by 1 December.
Applications submitted outside this period will not be processed.
Who is a pre-assessment relevant for?
A pre-assessment is relevant if you:
- apply with a foreign or international qualifying examination
- are unsure whether your exam qualifies for admission to bachelor’s programmes in Denmark
- want clarification before submitting your final application
- apply for admission even though you hold a master's degree and want to assess if it is equivalent to a Danish master's degree
If you have not yet completed your upper secondary education, º£½ÇÉçÇø can only provide an indicative assessment, not a final decision. This means the assessment is based on your current transcripts and planned courses.
