Information from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education Bonus for early study start For the 2012 enrolment, applicants applying for admission in quota 1 will have their final grade point average multiplied by 08 if they have completed their upper secondary education in 2010, 2011 or 2012 and if their grade point average can be converted to the Danish 7-point grading scale. The time of the completion is the date of issue on the first upper secondary diploma. For the 2013 enrolment, applicants having completed their upper secondary education in 2011, 2012 or 2013 will be covered, and so forth. If the applicant s final grade point average has not been awarded according to the Danish 7-point grading scale, the adjustment will take place after conversion of the grade point average to the 7-point grading scale. Applicants who have completed their upper secondary education in 2007 and onwards and who are unable to start on a programme before the expiry of the two-year deadline, can have this deadline extended by up to four years due to the following documented circumstances: National service in the Danish Defence, including service on national service-like terms Training and education with a view to deployment as well as deployment on international operations for the Danish Defence Adoption or maternity/paternity leave Long-term illness 5. Caring for close relatives and other related persons who are disabled, seriously ill or dying 6. Training for and participation in the Olympic Games or Paralympic Games as an elite or world-class athlete appointed by Team Danmark The application for extension and the documentation must be enclosed with the application for admission. Specific entry requirements for the programmes Please note that specific entry requirements (specific upper secondary courses at A level (advanced), B level (intermediate) or C level (basic)) apply for all of the universities bachelor programmes and for a number of the other higher education programmes, and that these courses must be passed with a minimum grade of 0 (Danish 7-point grading scale). You can find additional information at www.optagelse.dk and on the websites of the individual educational institution. If you do not fulfil the specific entry requirements via your upper secondary education, you must pass a supplementary course to be eligible for admission. In this context, you should be particularly aware of the Danish turbo courses, which offer you the chance to increase your level or raise a grade for a wide range of programmes during the summer holidays. You should be aware that certain language-related entry requirements may be satisfied during the bachelor programme (propaedeutics) and that the programme is prolonged by six months or one year in such cases. Special grade requirements for a number of bachelor programmes In addition to the specific entry requirements, a few of the universities bachelor programmes require that you have completed your upper secondary education with a specific minimum final grade point average or that individual courses have been passed with a specific minimum grade higher than the grade of 0 (Danish 7-point grading scale). If special grade requirements are specified for the programme to which you are applying for admission, you have the possibility to improve your grade or grades through supplementary courses at upper secondary level. Please note, however, that it is only possible for you to improve individual grades and not your overall final grade point average from your upper secondary education. For the 2012 enrolment, the following of the universities bachelor programmes set out special grade requirements (Danish 7-point grading scale). Please note that all the levels refer to the name of the levels in the Danish upper secondary education 3

Final grade point average for guaranteed admission to certain higher education programmes Some educational institutions have set certain grade point averages for guaranteed admission to some of their bachelor programmes. A grade point averages for guaranteed admission means that the educational institution has specified a minimum final grade point average which guarantees an offer for admission. If you have obtained this final grade point average or higher, you will be offered a study place if you apply for admission and otherwise fulfil the entry requirements for the programme. You can obtain further information on grade point averages for guaranteed admission at www.optagelse.dk and from the educational institution to which you are applying for admission. Supplementary courses at upper secondary level If you have completed an upper secondary education which does not meet the specific entry requirements for the programme to which you are planning to apply for admission, you have the possibility of doing supplementary courses in the subjects you need in order to obtain the levels and grades which satisfy the specific entry requirements for the study programme. Please note that almost all of the courses offered in Denmark are taught in Danish. You can get further information on the individual supplementary courses at upper secondary level, enrolment, prices and schools at www.gsdanmark.dk or from the coordinators of the supplementary courses at upper secondary level at the following addresses: Nørresundby Gymnasium og HF Studievej 14 9400 Nørresundby Tel. +45 9817 2833 Fax +45 9817 2907 www.nghf.dk VUC Aahus Ingerslevs Boulevard 3 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark Tel +45 8732 2500 Fax +45 8732 2598 www.vucaarhus.dk Odense Katedralskole Jernbanegade 34 5000 Odense C, Denmark Tel +45 6612 2240 Fax +45 6612 2991 www.odensekatedralskole.dk KVUC Vognmagergade 8 1120 Copenhagen K, Denmark Tel +45 8232 6690 Fax +45 8232 6651 www.kvuc.dk Gentofte HF Dahlénsstræde 5 2820 Gentofte, Denmark Tel. +45 3965 8449 or +45 3965 1103 Fax +45 3968 3670 www.gnf.dk Niels Brock Kultorvet 2 1175 Copenhagen K, Denmark Tel +45 3341 9100 www.brock.dk 6
You can find more information on supplementary courses at upper secondary level at www.gsdanmark.dk. Conditional admission It is possible to apply for conditional admission to some programmes even though you lack a level in a subject or do not fulfil a grade requirement, if any. Some educational institutions will grant you conditional admission, which means that you are guaranteed admission to the programme once you have passed the supplementary courses. The conditional admission depends on whether you can pass the supplementary courses in time. However, you must have completed the supplementary courses prior to the study start of the programme or immediately thereafter as indicated by the educational institution. If, for example, you have mathematics at Danish level B and the programme requires mathematics at level A, you may supplement the level by doing a supplementary course at upper secondary level during the summer holidays, the so-called turbo courses. You must have completed both the course and tests prior to study start on 1 September or immediately thereafter. The same applies if you are required to have obtained specific grades to fulfil the entry requirements. Your final admission and your right to start/continue on the programme are, however, on the condition that you pass the necessary exams on the required level or with a required grade prior to the study start or immediately thereafter. This means that you will lose your study place if you do not pass the supplementary course(s). You should thus apply for conditional admission as usual by 15 March 201 It is your responsibility to apply for admission to a supplementary course. Please note that the offering of certain supplementary courses is limited to very few course venues, and that most of the courses offered in Denmark are taught in Danish. A few programmes arrange their own supplementary courses in August. More information is available from the educational institution to which you are applying for admission. It is a requirement for some programmes that you submit documentation by 5 July 2012 showing that you are registered for supplementary courses at upper secon-dary level. The possibility of applying for conditional admission does not apply to all programmes. On some programmes with restricted admission, conditional admission is granted only if you need to improve one subject by one level only. To be on the safe side, you should ask the coordinators of the supplementary courses at upper secondary level or enquire at the educational institution to which you are applying for admission. You can find further information on the individual programmes, entry requirements etc. at www.optagelse.dk and www.ug.dk. Tuition fees at recognized Danish full-time programmes If you apply for admission to a recognized Danish full-time programme (a bachelor or master s programme, a professional bachelor programme or an academy profession programme) and you are a Danish national or an EU/EEA national, you will not be charged tuition fees for attending classes and participating in the tests and other forms of assessment which form part of the exam. 7

You can log on using your NemID or Digital and complete and submit the application form electronically. When you sign your application electronically, it will automatically be sent to the educational institution to which you are applying for admission. You can order NemID at www.nemid.nu. If you have a Danish qualifying exam from 2004 or later, your final grade point average will automatically be transferred to your application. If you complete your upper secondary education in 2012, you should be aware that your final grade point average cannot be retrieved from the exam database until you have received the diploma yourself, and the educational institutions to which you are applying for admission will therefore not receive the diploma until you have received it yourself. If you apply electronically before you have received your diploma, you must therefore make sure that you forward a copy of your diploma. If you indicate other information on your application, you must make sure to send documentation for the information to the educational institutions to which you are applying for admission (remember to write your CPR number on all enclosures). After 15 March, you can submit your diploma and other information electronically at optagelse.dk, also after you have submitted your application. However, you must always comply with the educational institution s deadline for sending additional documentation, which you should check on the institution s website. If you have a Danish qualifying exam from before 2004, you must make sure to send a copy of the diploma and any other documentation to the educational institutions to which you are applying for admission (remember to write your CPR number on all enclosures). You can also complete your application form on optagelse.dk without logging on with NemId or Digital. Use the entrance Apply without login at www.optagelse.dk.
