The business community is increasingly demanding competences in the fields of economics, organizations, and management, and the ability to work across various disciplines. Chemical Engineering and International Business is a multidisciplinary study programme which gives you a broad knowledge of a technical area, while learning about the economic and management conditions within which companies must operate.


You learn to plan how a new product—such as a new drug—can be mass-produced economically and with as little environmental impact as possible. The range of work is therefore broad—from operation and development of processes, product development, and consultancy, to inspection and management.


You will learn about efficient energy use, product quality and the environment, and how to manufacture products in chemical and biotechnology plants. You will also have commercial subjects, where you gain an understanding of the conditions industry works under, and how development, production, sales, and marketing are closely linked in an international technology company.


Study programme structure

The first four semesters primarily consist of mandatory courses in chemistry, business economics and development, and mathematics. You will be introduced to the field of chemical Engineer through project work and company visits. You will learn about the physical properties of substances and the interplay between physics and chemistry.


You will also study relevant business subjects linked to chemical engineering cases and issues. This will give you an understanding of the company’s decision-making situations and project management, and a business economics conceptual apparatus. You will also have subjects that deal with the equipment used for the production of chemical and biochemical products, and mathematical models for various physical and chemical systems.


In semester 5 you will do an internship in a company in Denmark or abroad, and in semesters 6 and 7 you will learn more about chemical engineering and have the opportunity to tune your profile through electives. The study programme ends with your BEng project, which is often done in collaboration with a company.

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


  • High school Danish A-level

Passed upper secondary supplementary subject (Danish A-level).

  • Nordic entrance exams

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.
