Study Engineering & Technology in Denmark from Egypt
Reference institution: Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art (Ramat Gan, Israel)
If you're coming from Egypt to study engineering and applied technology in Denmark, the academic side is only half the picture — where a programme is taught in Danish, the language pathway is what turns an offer into a place you can fully live and learn in.
Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art — based in Ramat Gan, Israel — lists programmes associated with engineering & technology (fields such as Engineering & Technology, Architecture & Design, Arts & Humanities). Your degree background matters for admission, but Danish proficiency is assessed separately.
The Danish-language requirement
Denmark offers a number of English-taught programmes, especially at master's level — those may not require Danish for admission. Danish-taught programmes typically ask for roughly B1–B2, which maps to Prøve i Dansk 2 or Prøve i Dansk 3, and higher-level admission may go through Studieprøven. Either way you'll need Danish for paperwork, part-time work and everyday life. Confirm the exact requirement with the specific university and programme.
For engineering and applied technology, a solid B1–B2 lets you follow a Danish-taught programme, write assignments and integrate — aim a level above the minimum if you can.
Using a Danish degree back in Egypt
In Egypt, recognition of a foreign degree goes through Supreme Council of Universities (SCU) — General Administration for Academic Degree Equivalency (https://scu.eg). The SCU is the sole authority for foreign-degree equivalency (معادلة) in Egypt.
A common concern for students from Egypt — "معادلة الشهادة (degree equivalence); recognition for jobs and professional syndicates" — is worth planning early, alongside the language requirement. Students from Egypt commonly search for: معادلة الشهادات, SCU equivalency, study/work abroad from Egypt.
Practise for Prøve i Dansk 2 (A2–B1) — honestly
AlmiDanish lets you practise the four skills — Reading (Læseforståelse), Listening (Lytteforståelse), Writing (Skriftlig fremstilling) and Speaking (Mundtlig kommunikation) — at Prøve i Dansk 2 and the surrounding levels. AlmiDanish gives you an honest readiness estimate — a per-skill band (Clear or Borderline) against each exam's real criteria — never an invented official SIRI or Ministry result.
Reading and Listening practice is free; AI feedback on Writing and Speaking and the full timed mock become available with a 7-day free trial ($12/month after, cancel anytime).
Thinking about staying after your studies?
If you plan to remain in Denmark after graduating, the language also matters for residency and, later, citizenship. Danish citizenship commonly requires Prøve i Dansk 3 (B1–B2) and the Indfødsretsprøven (a Danish society knowledge test), alongside residency and other conditions. The exams sit under the Ministry of Immigration and Integration, and applications are handled by SIRI. The rules change, so we don't state a fixed number of residency years or a fixed step — always confirm the current requirement with SIRI. We help you prepare fairly; we never claim to help anyone shortcut or beat the process.

Questions
- Do I need Danish to study Engineering & Technology in Denmark?
- For Danish-taught programmes, usually around B1–B2. Many English-taught master's waive it for admission, but you'll still need Danish day-to-day. Confirm with the university.
- Will a Danish degree be recognised in Egypt?
- Recognition of a foreign degree in Egypt goes through Supreme Council of Universities (SCU) — General Administration for Academic Degree Equivalency. The SCU is the sole authority for foreign-degree equivalency (معادلة) in Egypt. Confirm the current process on the official site (https://scu.eg).
- Which level should I aim for?
- Most Danish-taught higher education sits around Prøve i Dansk 2 to Prøve i Dansk 3, and higher-level programmes may use Studieprøven. Regulated fields and professional practice may need more. AlmiDanish shows an honest per-skill readiness band, not an official score.
- Is the readiness estimate my real result?
- No. It's a practice estimate against the real criteria to guide your prep. Only the official assessment issues a real result.
