The world is largely made up of chemical processes and reactions. Chemical products are central to society and help create a good foundation for living. Right now humanity is faced with some enormous challenges. Climate change and pollution have to be brought under control, and we must find new drugs to combat diseases that are currently seen as incurable. As a chemical engineer you can help solve some of these challenges.
What will you learn?
You will learn to understand or predict why and how different substances and materials will react in a given chemical process, so you are able to create new, improved products and production methods. As a student on the Chemistry and Technology study programme, you will acquire a fundamental knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics from lessons in theory, combined with project work and practicals in the laboratory.
You will be introduced to basic chemistry and its technological applications. You will work on chemical analysis and synthesis, and study the properties and chemical reactions of substances. You will learn the principles of chemical and biochemical product development and production, which must be done efficiently from a technical and economical viewpoint, while considering the environment and safety.
Chemistry is a subject where theory and practical experiments go hand in hand. You will learn to think creatively and use your knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry to develop concrete products and production methods.
Study programme structure
The BSc in Chemistry and Technology has a set programme for the first few semesters, so you acquire a good understanding of the field of chemical engineering. You will do subjects in general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and laboratory methodology. Later in the programme you will choose electives and specialize. Various recommended courses have been defined which you can follow, but you can also combine subjects based on your interests. For example, you can combine chemistry with elements from the world of engineering and technology, or focus on economics or management.

Danish language requirement
In all Danish-language civil engineering and engineering majors, it is a requirement that your Danish qualifications are equivalent to a Danish A-level from upper secondary school. This is called the Danish language requirement. The Danish language requirement applies to those who apply with a foreign entrance examination.
In the Danish-language civil engineering majors, the Danish A-level is included as one of the specific entrance requirements. Fulfilling the Danish A-level by passing a subject in the Danish A-level also fulfills the Danish language requirement.
In engineering majors, the Danish A-level is not included as one of the specific entrance requirements and the Danish language requirement is therefore relevant if you apply on the basis of a foreign entrance examination.
How to meet Danish language requirements/Danish A-level
The requirement for Danish A-level is fulfilled by Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Icelanders by passing Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Icelandic at an equivalent level. Faroese can fulfil the requirement for Danish A by passing Danish or Faroese at an equivalent level. Greenlanders can fulfil the requirement for Danish A by passing Danish at an equivalent level.
The Danish language proficiency test
is considered equivalent to the Danish A-level. The Danish language proficiency test is the final exam for Danish language education 3, module 6. It is the highest level in the Danish language education system. The Danish language proficiency test is an exam at C1 level. The Danish language proficiency test must be passed with at least a 2 in each of the three disciplines.
The Danish primary school leaving exam
Danish applicants with a foreign admission basis (e.g. IB) who have previously passed the Danish primary school and received a full leaving certificate, and who were raised in a Danish-speaking home, can obtain an exemption from the requirement for Danish at A-level if they submit documentation of their leaving certificate.
Prior learning assessment certificate with full recognition in Danish A
If you have skills that correspond to Danish A, you have the opportunity to get an Individual Competence Assessment (IKV) at a VUC.
English language requirement
For admission to the English-language bachelor's degree in General Engineering, all applicants with a foreign degree must meet the English language requirement. Even if you meet the requirement for English at B level from your foreign upper secondary education, you must still take an English test when applying for admission to General Engineering. If you have a Danish entrance exam, please note that you cannot take a language test instead of taking a supplementary course. The English language requirement can be met by documenting completion of the tests below with a test result above the minimum score.
