Undergraduate entry requirements for students from Denmark. To apply for a place at Edinburgh, you’ll need qualifications, a personal statement and a reference. You will also need to provide evidence of your English language skills through qualifications.The qualifications and grades you need vary by degree and may include admissions tests, portfolios, interviews or evidence of relevant work experience. We call these our entry requirements. Qualifications we acceptFrom Denmark, we accept the Studentereksamen (STX, HHX or HTX) or Højere Forberedelseseksamen (HF). What grades you needWhen you view a programme on our degree finder, you will see entry requirements for UK qualifications called A Levels, GCSEs and other qualifications you may require for entry.Entry requirementsThe table below shows you what the equivalent qualification would be for your country, based on the A Level requirements. You must achieve these grades, or higher, to be entered into our selection process.For some degrees, demand for places is much higher than places available, so applicants who meet the requirements are not guaranteed an offer.
