Guide to recognition of foreign qualificationsThere are several ways of having your foreign qualifications assessed and recognised in Denmark, depending on how you plan to use your qualifications

How do you plan to use your qualifications?

  • Job search
  • You may find an assessment from the Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation helpful when looking for a job.
  • Regulated professions
  • If you wish to practise a regulated profession, you need an authorisation or similar recognition by the competent public authority.
  • Pay grading
  • An assessment of your qualifications may be useful for determining your pay grading.
  • Credit transfer
  • If you continue your studies, you may be able to transfer credit from studies you have already done in your country.
  • Competence assessment
  • If you have competences other than documented qualifications you may be able to have them assessed and recognised, in particular within the Danish adult education system.
