What you need to apply
General rules of the region · Western Europe outside the EU
We have no separate rules for Greenland, so below are the general rules for Western Europe outside the EU. Check the exact list with the university and the embassy.
Western Europe outside the EU, bachelor’s
These are the general admission rules of Western Europe outside the EU, shown for Greenland because its own rules have not been checked one by one yet: the school-leaving attestat with its transcript, certified translations, legalised documents, a recognition check of the qualification and proof of the language the programme is taught in. Every figure — scores, money, deadlines — belongs to the university in Greenland and to its embassy, not to the region, so treat this as the shape of the answer and confirm each line with them. Most degrees are taught in the national language of Greenland and a smaller English-taught offer sits alongside them, so the course page, not the region, says which language you have to prove.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
One year at a university in Uzbekistan
An Uzbek attestat is issued after eleven years of school. None of the regional and international pages this template rests on states how many years of schooling Greenland asks for, so this row cannot promise you an answer: universities in the region commonly ask an applicant with a shorter school record to add a year — a completed year at a university in Uzbekistan, a foundation or preparatory year, or an extra examination — while others take the attestat as it is. Ask the university you have chosen and the embassy of Greenland before you plan that year.
- Legalising your documents
- The HCCH status table does not list Greenland as a Contracting Party to the 1961 Apostille Convention, so documents are normally legalised through the consulate of Greenland rather than with an apostille. Territories covered by another state’s extension of the Convention are the exception, and are worth asking about. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.

Documents
School certificate
The school-leaving attestat together with its transcript, in the original and in a certified translation. The ENIC-NARIC network's page on the Lisbon Recognition Convention (ETS No. 165) states that a foreign qualification must be recognised unless the recognising authority can demonstrate that it is substantially different, and that the responsibility to show that lies with the body doing the assessment. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
Academic transcript
The full transcript of subjects, hours and grades, because that is what an assessment of the qualification is made on. The ENIC-NARIC page on the UNESCO Global Convention says the convention establishes universal principles for fair, transparent and non-discriminatory recognition of higher education qualifications and of qualifications giving access to higher education; it lists no documents, so the list belongs to the university. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
Certified translation
A certified translation of every document into the language the university works in, or into English. The national information centre of Greenland — the ENIC-NARIC network names it on its Countries of the Networks list — publishes which translators and which certifications it accepts. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
Apostille
The HCCH status table does not list Greenland as a Contracting Party to the 1961 Apostille Convention, so documents are normally legalised through the consulate of Greenland rather than with an apostille. Territories covered by another state’s extension of the Convention are the exception, and are worth asking about. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.

Other requirements
Recognition of the foreign qualification by the national information centre
Before or during the application the qualification is usually checked by the national information centre of Greenland, the body the ENIC-NARIC network lists; its page says whether the centre, the ministry or the university itself issues the statement of comparability, and how long it takes. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
Proof of the language the programme is taught in
Every programme states the language it is taught in and the proof of that language it accepts. Where the proof is stated as a CEFR level, the European Commission's Europass page describes what the six levels A1 to C2 mean; it names no level for university entry, and no single level holds across the region, so the level is the programme's own. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
Any one of these is enough
IELTS Academic, for a programme taught in EnglishOptional
A programme taught in English asks for an English test. IELTS say on their own page to choose IELTS Academic if you wish to study at undergraduate or postgraduate levels. The minimum band belongs to the programme: no score holds for a whole region, so this row carries none. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
TOEFL iBT, accepted in place of IELTS by most universitiesOptional
ETS describes TOEFL iBT as accepted worldwide and as measuring the four academic English skills. Whether the university in Greenland takes it in place of IELTS, and at what score, is the programme's own rule, so this row carries no score. This is a general rule of the region; the university and the embassy of Greenland set the exact list.
