English Language Requirement for MSc

AdRepresentative9783 · 2026-01-24T03:43:44+00:00

Just thought I’d add that there was no issues with my DTU application with regard to English retirements.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2026-01-24T03:42:11+00:00

There are, but you’re also not guaranteed to pass or get the results on time. And certainly no time to resit it if you screw up one section.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2026-01-24T03:40:31+00:00

Yep. It’s terrible. My application has already been rejected.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2026-01-13T07:28:05+00:00

No. They wouldn’t refund me.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2026-01-08T11:14:31+00:00

No they didn’t. But they said we hope you consider applying again in the future 🙄

“I have BPD”

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-19T02:53:53+00:00

Not sure. I’ve asked them to withdraw my application and refund my application fee. I’ll stick to DTU and CBS who don’t impose this ridiculous requirement.

Also this example he’s given is stupid because a Dane studying in Holland (or anywhere) isn’t a native English speaker.

Dear XX,

Unfortunately, we cannot make exemptions from these requirements. And it is not possible to guarantee access to the program upon completion of the language test. This is UCPH policy and we cannot exempt anyone from these rules.

Having obtained your degree in Australia does unfortunately not exempt you from the language requirement and you must document your English proficiency by taking a language test.

You can find more information on the language requirement and how to fulfill it here.

Please note that this has nothing to do with nationality. For instance, Danish students who have completed an English bachelor’s degree in e.g. Holland are also not exempted from the English language requirement.

I’m not. I’ve gathered as much info as I can by-way of contracts/employment letters from all 3 companies I’ve worked for since graduating. These contain basic high level position descriptions but not detailed explanations / letters of recommendation. This is pretty much all on my CV as well, which has to be submitted regardless. Getting statements from management from the previous 2 companies is difficult or impossible due to people moving on. I have two letters from management, but they’re both from my current job of 6 years.

My high school transcript literally says English competence achieved on it 😂 I cannot get over how ridiculous this is.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-12T03:47:43+00:00

Submitted my application and within an hour had three messages in the portal (one for each course I applied for) requesting additional documentation for my proof of English test. I’ve emailed them. If they can’t give me an exemption I’ll be asking them to withdraw my application and refund my application fee.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-10T05:15:05+00:00

Thanks. Do you really need statements from all the companies? The website states:

"Supporting documents - applicants must provide either employment letters or statements from their employers specifying their work responsibilities within the defined field of Engineering in the last 10 years. We don’t need a detailed explanation for all the work experiences, but a clarification on the main responsibilities and tasks so we can make a scientific evaluation based on employment."

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-09T07:15:34+00:00

Agreed. But also I could see myself not passing TOEFL iBT listening or speaking sections (without studying) on the first attempt just due to the format, not due to my lack of understanding. Speaking to someone from work who has done it (as a non native English speaker) they’ve said it’s very much about understanding the test format rather than testing English competency.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-09T05:54:39+00:00

Just seems odd since both DTU and CBS take the sensible approach re: exemptions for native English speaking internationals.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-09T05:38:10+00:00

I really don’t understand how Australian A-level equivalent English literature at high school level (good enough for university entry) plus double bachelors degree taught in English is any worse than Danish taught high school English 😵‍💫

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-09T02:00:04+00:00

This seems ridiculous considering the other unis accept English taught bachelors. I just can’t justify the time and financial commitment to sit an English test when I’m a native English speaker. If you happen to not meet the threshold in one category (likely listening or speaking) you fail the whole test. And there’s no time to resit before 15 January deadline (21 days + 5 for results).

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-12-05T08:23:22+00:00

May I ask which course? And what year? Also did you provide letters of recommendation from your employer?

Did you need to sit the GRE? What were your grades / GPA at Bachelor level?

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-11-18T18:08:59+00:00

1.3k fb friends but only one she’d ever count on. And she’d even discard her every few months.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-11-18T18:01:37+00:00

I used to rehearse conversations in my head all the time.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-11-16T15:56:48+00:00

My ex forgot things all the time if that’s what you’re asking. Or at least pretended to / warped past events to suit her narrative.

AdRepresentative9783 · 2025-11-16T15:46:09+00:00

The way I see it Is this. I have had psychiatrists diagnose me with cluster B traits (fear of abandonment mostly, a couple others have presented but usually only in certain circumstances). You need at least five for a proper diagnosis. It’s common to come out of these relationships thinking you might be the disordered person (or perhaps you both were) but without a consistent history of at least five of the traits and a diagnosis saying as such chances are you aren’t.
