Pre-assessment of foreign qualifications

You can request a pre-assessment of your foreign qualifications to check whether you meet the admission requirements for the bachelor programmes you intend to apply at Roskilde University.

The service is offered between 15 September to 1 November, to ensure that you will receive the result before the admission period begins.

Please read carefully the information about admission requirements for the bachelor programmes, before you apply.

Why apply for a pre-assessment?

  • You will have more time to prepare and collect the required documents for your admission application.
  • You will receive an early indication if you fulfil the admission requirements for Roskilde University.

Pre-assessment expectations

The pre-assessment is an advisory service only and does not constitute an application for admission to Roskilde University. 

The purpose of the pre-assessment is to provide prospective applicants with an indication of fulfilling the admission requirements for the upcoming intake only, and it is not legally binding.

If the pre-assessment concludes that one or more admission requirements for the chosen bachelor programme are not met, we will unfortunately not be able to provide specific guidance on how these requirements can be fulfilled.

A positive pre-assessment does not guarantee admission, even if the applicant fulfils all the admission requirements. 
If the study programme you apply for has a limited number of study places, the selection between qualified applicants is based on GPA* (quota 1*) and/or motivational letter, additional study, work experience and other relevant qualifications etc. (quota 2), which we cannot assess beforehand.

* Most Non-EU/EEA general entry exams cannot have a converted GPA and are usually assessed only in Quota 2.

Rules, regulations, and requirements may change between the time of your pre-assessment and your admission application. The pre-assessment cannot account for such changes, and Roskilde University cannot be held responsible for them.
