What the named master's policies say
| University and scope | Published PTE position |
|---|---|
| Aarhus University: master's English requirements | Pearson PTE is explicitly on the list of tests not accepted. |
| DTU: MSc English requirements | The approved tests are IELTS, TOEFL and specified Cambridge qualifications. Other English tests are not accepted; PTE is not listed. |
| University of Copenhagen: master's English A and B | The test tables list IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge; the policy rejects language tests other than those stated. |
These are specific admissions policies, not a claim about every institution or course in Denmark. A PTE-to-IELTS conversion cannot replace a test that a university requires. The linked university guides explain the accepted alternatives.

Browse free PTE Academic question types →How to check a different institution
- Find the official programme admissions page for your degree level and intake. Look for an explicit PTE Academic entry, not just a general statement that English is required.
- Use Pearson's recognition search as a starting point, then compare it with the university's current policy. If they differ, ask admissions for written confirmation before booking.
- Record any overall and individual-skill minimums, test-age rules, evidence deadline and score-delivery instructions. Do not invent a threshold when the page does not give one.
- If PTE is not accepted, choose one of the institution's accepted tests. Do not substitute PTE Core or assume a high Academic score overrides its policy.
Practise after confirming the right test
If your programme confirms PTE Academic, use the free question-type drills below to identify weak tasks, review sample answers and repeat with new questions. The public drills distinguish objective marking from speaking and writing sample comparison; practice feedback is not an official Pearson score.
If your application instead requires IELTS Academic, use the Denmark IELTS guide for the named university examples and start its free reading and listening drills. Keep the test choice tied to the application you will actually submit.
Check residence permission separately
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is PTE Academic accepted everywhere in Denmark?+
No. Aarhus explicitly excludes Pearson PTE in its master's policy, and the DTU and Copenhagen master's policies list other accepted tests and reject unlisted tests. Check a different institution's own current policy.
What PTE score is equivalent to Denmark's IELTS requirement?+
There is no single Denmark IELTS requirement to convert. First confirm that the institution accepts PTE Academic, then use its own overall and skill thresholds. A conversion table cannot establish acceptance.
Can PTE alone qualify me for a Danish residence permit?+
No English-test result alone establishes residence eligibility. SIRI's higher-education route has its own conditions, separate from the university's admission decision.
