Note that these are the minimum scores needed to meet Denmark undergraduate English language requirements, and some Danish universities may also require higher scores. To be clear about this score requirement, talk to the study experts at GoDenmark.

If you need to take any of these English proficiency tests, you must do it as soon as possible and arrange for the results to be delivered to the department you are applying to. Also, ensure your English proficiency test results are not older than 2 years because the Danish universities will not accept your scores.

You can avoid submitting English language proficiency test results if:

You have a high school or upper secondary exam from English-speaking nations, like Canada, New Zealand, USA, Ireland, or Great Britain. But make sure you have passed your last examination in English to prove your English proficiency for a bachelor's in Denmark.
You have undertaken a Danish, Duborg, Nordic, International Baccalaureate, European Baccalaureate, or A.P. Møller exam.
You have been given an exam with an English level considered comparable to a Danish B level in English by the Danish Agency for Higher Education.

Excluding the above criteria, all applicants with higher education or upper secondary education from all other nations, including Asian and African countries, where the language of instruction is or was English, must submit an English proficiency test certificate. If you think taking the English proficiency examinations may not help because of your poor English skills, opt for an English language test preparation course, available from universities in Denmark or private institutions. These will prepare you thoroughly for the exams helping you come up with flying colors.
