There is no national entrance exam. In kvote 1 only your grades count; in kvote 2 the institution may hold its own test or interview. Arts institutions hold aptitude tests.
Many programmes have specific subject requirements – certain secondary school subjects at a given level (in the Danish system A, B or C). The best way to find out whether the subjects on your school leaving certificate meet them is to ask the institution you are applying to.
