Pass requirements and academic levels

The average obtained from the IB is converted to the 7-point grading scale in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science. 

There are grade requirements and specific admission requirements to programmes at the University of Southern Denmark.

To be assessed for admission to quota 1, you must have obtained a certain grade point average on your qualifying examination when it is converted to the Danish grade scale.

The specific entry requirements mean, that you must have certain levels in several of high school subjects. You have to meet them whether you are applying for admission to quota 1 or quota 2.

I.e. you must have achieved certain levels in a number of upper secondary school subjects. Tables drawn up by the Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation show, whether subjects taken in an IB correspond to the required academic levels.

The university has adopted the conversion system for specific entry requirements shown below.
