Language Requirements

The official language of Denmark is Danish.

Degree programmes are most commonly offered in Danish or English. If you are studying in a non-native language, you will need to provide evidence of your language proficiency. This is usually done by taking an English language test, or providing results of tests. If you do not meet the required standard, you may be able to take a language course to help you improve.

Even if you are able to study in English, you should still make an effort to learn as much Danish as possible. Communicating with locals and other students is the perfect way to practice. This is a skill that will make your everyday life more enjoyable, as well as looking great on your CV/resume!
