Pre-assessment of foreign qualifications

You can apply for a pre-assessment of your foreign qualifications, if you want to know whether you meet the admission requirements for the bachelor’s programmes you intend to apply for at Roskilde University.

Pre-assessments are offered between October 1 and December 1, which means that the assessment will be completed before you can submit your actual admission application.

Why apply for a pre-assessment:

  • You will have more time to ensure all documents required for the admission application
  • You will get an early indication of your admission possibilities at Roskilde University
     

Admission requirements

Before you apply for a pre-assessment, please take time to read the information about admission requirements for the bachelor’s programmes carefully.
