IELTS for Denmark: university scores and free preparation

Use these as named university examples, not a country-wide minimum. Copenhagen's programme page determines whether English A or English B applies. The official university sources below also explain alternative evidence and the application category each rule covers.

• DTU: submit the official score report by the application deadline. Its IELTS validity period is two years from the test date.
• Aarhus: the IELTS test must be no more than two years old when the application portal opens.
• Copenhagen: the IELTS result must be no more than two years old at the start of the programme.
• These three published master's policies do not accept IELTS One Skill Retake. Check your intended institution before relying on a partial retake.

• Write down your programme, intake, accepted test version, overall target, four skill targets and evidence deadline.
• Start with a free Academic Reading set and a Listening set. Record which question types caused errors and why.
• Repeat the weakest question type on a new set; compare accuracy and time, rather than memorising the previous answer.
• Practise writing and speaking too. Reading or listening marks cannot show whether you meet a writing or speaking requirement.

Admission and residence permission are separate checks. SIRI's higher-education route requires language skills sufficient to participate in the course, alongside its other conditions. A university's IELTS threshold is not a universal Danish visa score, and an English-test result alone does not establish residence eligibility. Check the official SIRI route for your circumstances.
