NARIC guide on Higher Education Systems in the European Union

Marks and examinations
Generally, marks are given on a 13-point scale indicating the performance of the student:
13 = exceptionally independent and excellent performance
11 = independent and excellent performance
10 = excellent, but not particularly independent performance
09 = good performance, a little above average
08 = average performance
07 = mediocre performance, slightly below average
06 = just acceptable performance
05 = hesitant and unsatisfactory performance
03 = very hesitant, very insufficient and unsatisfactory performance
The student must obtain at least a 6.0 average in order to pass (see Appendix I).
Some examinations only use pass or fail.
Students in Danish higher education are normally not assessed during the term to the same extent as in some other countries.
However, before graduation, the student must pass a number of oral and written examinations. These normally take place
twice a year, in January and in May/June. The number of examinations and the format varies from course to course.
Nearly all examinations — oral and written — are conducted with the participation of external examiners.
