Before applying for assessment of your qualifications

The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science makes level assessments of non-Danish qualifications.

The assessments can only be used 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.

Seeking admission to a degree programme?

You can apply for admission without an assessment from the Agency, and it is the educational institution that decides on your grades and subject levels. The educational institution can contact the Agency directly to get quick answers about foreign exams.
