Foreign qualifications?
If you possess a diploma, degree or certificate from your home country, you can apply for an assessment.
An assessment is a brief statement saying what your foreign qualification corresponds to in Denmark: Which educational level and, if possible, which field of education.
You can have your diploma, degree or certificate assessed and recognized in various ways. The assessment will clarify your opportunities and increase your chances:
- On the labor market
- In the educational system
- On becoming a member of an unemployment fund
The assessment is free of charge but does not include translation of documents.
It is the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education that provides assessments of foreign qualifications. Go to
the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education - Foreign qualifications.
