Denmark has two German exam locations, Copenhagen and Aarhus, which is unusual for a country this size and means most Danes are within a couple of hours of one. The Goethe-Institut covers A1 to C2 plus TestDaF and the Goethe-Test PRO, and it is one of the centres Finnish candidates are directed to.
Where to sit the exam
Each centre was checked on the exam board's own website. Dates and fees change, so confirm directly with the centre before you pay or travel.
Frederiksborggade 1, 4. th., 1360 København
On the fourth floor - allow time in the building. Copenhagen is also the closer option for candidates in Skåne in southern Sweden.
Søndergade 74, 8000 Aarhus C
The second Danish exam location, in Jutland. Confirm which levels run there before travelling, since regional locations usually carry a shorter list than the main institute.
We do not publish individual sitting dates: they change too often to be safe. Follow the centre link for the current calendar.
Before you book
Copenhagen and Aarhus both examine, which puts most of the country within a couple of hours. Check the Aarhus level list first if you are in Jutland - it may save the trip across the Great Belt.
From Malmö or Lund, Copenhagen is far closer than Stockholm and examines the same range. The certificate is identical wherever you sit it.
Goethe-Institut Finland does not currently examine and points candidates to Estonia, Sweden, Denmark or Norway. There is a shared Nordic mailbox, pruefungen-nordeuropa@goethe.de, for working out which is best.
The Danish institute refers to activities in Iceland, and goethe.de/island redirects to the Denmark site - but it does not state that exams run there. Ask Copenhagen directly if you are in Reykjavík.
Sitting the exam abroad usually means one shot and a long wait for the next date. Practise in the real format first - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics show which module still needs the weeks you have left.
FAQ
At the Goethe-Institut in Copenhagen, Frederiksborggade 1, 4th floor, which examines A1 to C2 plus TestDaF and the Goethe-Test PRO; and at a second exam location in Aarhus, Søndergade 74.
Confirm before you travel. Aarhus is an exam location rather than the main institute, and regional locations usually carry a shorter level list. Contact Copenhagen for the Aarhus calendar.
Ask the Copenhagen institute. It refers to activities in Iceland and goethe.de/island redirects to the Danish site, but it does not state that exams are held there, so we cannot confirm one either way.
We checked telc’s own centre register and it lists none, and ÖSD publishes no register we can read. Treat that as "none found" rather than "none exists", and ask any school claiming to examine either board for its centre number.
The exam boards maintain their own centre finders. They are the authoritative list.
