Danish qualifications can be documented as follows:
- Danish A from a Danish upper secondary school exam ("gymnasium")
Passed Danish A in a Danish secondary school exam ("gymnasium") or from VUC - Nordic entry examination
The requirement of Danish A is fulfilled by Norwegians, Swedes, Fins, and Icelanders by having passed Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian at the equivalent level. Faroese can fulfil the requirement of Danish A by passing Danish or Faroese at the equivalent level. Greenlanders can fulfil the requirement of Danish A by passing Danish at the equivalent level. - The Study-test in Danish as a Foreign Language
The study-test in Danish in combination with passed mother tongue at the highest level is considered comparable to a Danish A level. The teaching language in the secondary school exam is considered the mother tongue and the grade from the mother tongue is used, provided the grade is convertible.
The Study-test in Danish must be successfully passed with grade 2 in each discipline.
Applicants for the Medicine and Odontology programmes must pass the Study-test with a minimum of 7 in each discipline.
Applicants for the Spanish and French programmes must pass the Study-test with a minimum grade of 7 in the written discipline (and 2 in the other disciplines).
Applicants for the International Business Communication programmes must pass the Study-test with a minimum grade of 10 in each discipline. - Applicants who have passed the Danish primary school leaving examination
Applicants with an International qualifying examination (e.g. International Baccalaureate) who have passed the Danish primary and lower secondary school leaving examination ("Folkeskolens Afgangsbevis - FSA" or "Folkeskolens Udvidede Afgangsbevis") can be granted exemption from the Danish A requirement, provided they document a full passed FSA along with passed mother tongue from their qualifying examination. The teaching language in the qualifying examination is considered the mother tongue and the grade from the mother tongue is used, provided the grade is convertible. Please be aware that Aarhus University only grants exemption if you have a full FSA in which reading, spelling, written production and oral must be passed.
Aarhus University usually does not grant exemption from the Danish A requirement based on a diploma for Danish taken as a single subject at Danes World Wide (“folkeskolens afgangsprøve enkeltfag”) or Danish taken as a single subject comparable to the Danish level in the Danish lower secondary examination. - Applicants who have been issued a certificate with full recognition of Danish at A-level
Applicants can meet the admission requirement of Danish at A-level, if they on the basis of an individual competence assessment done by VUC in Denmark, have been issued a certificate with full recognition of Danish at level A on the basis of an individual competence assessment done by VUC in Denmark.
