Mathematics entry scores in Denmark (2026): cut-off marks by university
We have official entry scores for 3 programmes (scale from 2 to 12, higher is better). In the latest lists the score of the last admitted student ranged from 6 to 8.5. The most selective programme was at Technical University of Denmark (Kongens Lyngby), the most accessible at Aarhus University (Aarhus).
Always check current information on the official website of the university before you apply.
| Programme | University | City | 2026 | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teknisk videnskab (Civilingeniør) Anvendt matematik | Technical University of Denmark (Kongens Lyngby) | Kongens Lyngby | 8.5 | 9.6 | 9.2 |
| Matematik | University of Copenhagen (København) | Copenhagen | — | 7.7 | 7.5 |
| Matematik | Aarhus University (Aarhus) | Aarhus | 6 | 7.8 | 6.1 |
The score is the result of the last admitted student, so it changes every year.
How admission works in Denmark
You apply through Optagelse.dk, the national portal of the Coordinated Admission (KOT): you can list up to 8 programmes and receive at most one offer, at your highest possible priority. You need a qualification on a level with the Danish upper secondary leaving certificate plus each programme's specific requirements, and Danish-taught programmes require proof of Danish. Where there are more applicants than places, quota 1 selects by grade point average (the score shown is the quota 1 cut-off on the Danish 7-point scale) and quota 2 by criteria set by the institution. For the 2027 intake Optagelse.dk opens on 1 February 2027; the deadline is 15 March 2027 at 12:00 for quota 2 and for anyone with a foreign or international (IB) diploma, and 5 July 2027 at 12:00 for quota 1 with a Danish diploma; answers come on 28 July.
