Two ways to take it
Entry requirements differ between them.
| Path | Length | Grade-based admission needs | DP Course Results | What is different |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BSc in Engineering | 3 yrs · 180 ECTS | at least 31 IB pointsPublished as an average of 7.0 on Denmark's 7-point scale | Full Diploma needed | 3 years, research-based, and leads straight into the MSc in Engineering. No internship. |
| Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) | 3½ yrs · 210 ECTS | at least 26 IB pointsPublished as an average of 5.0 on Denmark's 7-point scale | Accepted | 3½ years with a six-month internship, aimed at industry; a master’s stays open. Accepts one more science combination. |
What you need
- Any IB EnglishDanish requirement: English B
- Maths HL (AA or AI)Danish requirement: Mathematics A
And one of these:
- Physics (SL or HL)+Chemistry (SL or HL) Danish requirement: Physics B + Chemistry C
- Not open with IB: 2 Danish-only options Biotechnology A: The handbook publishes no equivalent for this subject.Geoscience A: The official handbook leaves the IB column blank for Geoscience A. IB Geography HL is not automatically accepted; you would normally need a Danish supplementary course.The options above are the way in. Danish requirement: Physics B + Biotechnology A / Geoscience A + Chemistry C
-
Quota 1: at least 31 IB points
Danish requirement: an average of 7.0
Under 31? Quota 2
Below this, your way in is quota 2: SDU's entrance test (uniTEST: study skills, not subject knowledge). Apply by 15 March, 12:00, and register for the test by 20 March; places go to the highest test scores.

Uddannelses- og Forskningsstyrelsen (Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science) national agency
IB-elever uden IB Diploma, men med mindst 18 point (Diploma Programme (DP) Course Results), har adgang til videregående uddannelser i Danmark på lige vilkår med ansøgere med den 2-årige hf-eksamen uden overbygning. Det kræver, at alle 6 IB-fag (3 HL-fag og 3 SL- eller 4 HL-fag og 2 SL-fag) er bestået med mindst karakteren 3. Det betyder, at de har adgang til at søge optagelse på erhvervsakademi- og professionsbacheloruddannelser gennem kvote 1 og 2. Ansøgere med et Diploma Programme (DP) Course Results på mindst 18 point og mindst karakteren 3 i alle fag kan derudover få adgang til en universitetsbacheloruddannelse gennem kvote 1 og 2 ved enten at supplere med enkeltfag efter samme regler som hf’erne eller tage deres IB-eksamen om for at få et IB Diploma – Retake.
DP Course Results (formerly the IB Certificate) of at least 18 points, with at least grade 3 in all six subjects and at least three subjects at HL, are a qualifying examination in Denmark on the same terms as a two-year hf without overbygning: they give access to erhvervsakademi- and professionsbachelor programmes through quota 1 and quota 2, and to a university bachelor only after two successive raises of upper-secondary subject level, at least one to A level, taken as hf-enkeltfag. Course Results under 18 points, or containing any subject at grade 1 or 2, are not a qualifying examination at all. A full IB Diploma of 24 points or more gives access to every higher education programme in Denmark.
