Quota 2

What is quota 2?

Diplomas from outside EU/EEA and non-Nordic countries

Please note, that if your upper secondary education is not from within the EU or you have an International Baccalaureate (IB) or European Baccalaureate (EB), or the Scandinavian countries you can only apply through quota 2.

The quota 2-proces at the University of Copenhagen consists of a quota 2 admission test and a quota 2-interview. This is made so you can apply for admission, if you are uncertain if your GPA is high enough to get admitted through quota 1 or you GPA is below 6.0 GPA. You can apply for admission via quota 2 if:

  • you have a qualifying exam, and you fulfill the specific admission requirements
  • your degree does not qualify for quota 1 because it is not from a country within EU/EEA or is a vocational secondary education
  • you are uncertain of your grade point average is high enough to be admitted in quota 1
  • your GPA is below Danish 6.0
  • you fulfill the language requirement
  • Pass the quota 2-test. Please note that you must enroll separately in the quota 2 admission test before the 21 March if you want to apply for admission in quota 2. Applicants that have not participated and passed the quota exam will not be considered for admission. The quota 2-test is in Danish.
