Recognition of foreign qualifications in Denmark

I am very happy; they accept my qualification through assessment the higher education agency in Copenhagen. Usually, the foreigner they send to them. Therefore, the agency will process the further assessment with 3 months. But normally they do prefer for translation in English or Danish.
However, they give me as normal equivalence letter for my degree. In addition to that there is no fee, it’s free of charge. 
Finally, I will encourage the entire foreigner those who have a higher qualification they must contact the higher education agency in Denmark. All the contact information you can find in your local municipality

When I came here 21 years ago, there wasn't that much fuss about qualifications.  In addition, I was under a 2 year contract to a research institution that hired primarily people from outside Denmark, since we were affiliated with UNEP and much of our work was done in developing countries.  Later on, when I switched to the official pay scale, there were some murmurings about my qualifications (BA, MA and MF from the US and a Ph.D from Holland, and 30 years of experience in my field), but the Foreign Ministry intervened and made those concerns go away.

Now, things are tougher, but our relationship to UNEP and the Foreign Ministry lessens these concerns, although we are functionally a part of DTU

But I know it's difficult in many other cases and the rules seem to be applied without much discretion.

Same here for me as Abdurazik. 2014 they accepted my qualification through assessment the higher education agency in Copenhagen.

I moved here when I was 30, coming directly from my military career with years of training and experience working as a cook in both functionary and leadership roles. I also had certifications in computer repair and maintenance (not that that was an active part of my professional life). When I came up here, I was told NOTHING could be used -not my military experience, not my civilian experience... nothing  . At the time, this was a pretty big deal, I had gotten my residency visa, but didn't have any career possibilities. I figured there was only one thing to do...go back to school, and that's exactly what I did. I worked at McDonalds for nearly three years starting my first year in country, once I felt my danish was ok-ish enough, I applied to Århus Teknisk Skole with a study course in Teknisk Design. It wasn't easy, actually it was hard, but with a little help from my friends    I was able to successfully complete the school and finish with a 10 on my final exam. This gave me the tools I needed to get a career going, and 3 months after graduation, I had gotten a job at Crisplant designing baggage handling systems. That was 11 years ago, now Crisplant is called Beumer and things couldn't be better professionally. So if you come to Denmark and can't use your study/work history, it isn't necessarily a deal breaker, as long as you are willing to work and do what is necessary to contribute to society while furthering your own interest. The important thing is to be productive, work a crap job if necessary, working long hours with little prestige. You have to be willing to start at the bottom, lay a foundation, and then move forward. Be true to yourself, your family and Denmark, the rest will come in time.

Hello,
I currently live in Pakistan and  waiting for my degree assesment for past 21 months. I am a dentist and sent my documents in oct 2015 to the DPSA for evaluation. this is a painful procedure and costs a great deal, means its not free if you apply from outside denmark. there is a large sum of fee to be paid. I m still waiting for my assessment report, expected in this month as we were last informed May 2017.
