Entry scores
The score of the last admitted student, from official lists (higher is better).
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.
