General admission requirements

To be considered for admission to a bachelor's programme at the IT University, you must have passed a qualifying examination. On this page, you can find information about international exams that are comparable to a Danish upper secondary school certificate and thereby qualify for admission.

We have gathered information on international exams, exams from non-EU/EEA countries and a list of the most common European examinations below. Please note that the list is not exhaustive. For further info see the International examination assessed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.

If you want to make sure you meet the general admission requirements, we offer pre-assessments of your qualifications from 1 October to 30 November.
