VIDEO FORMATS AND UPLOAD

  • All video recordings should be made with a fixed camera position.
  • We do not require a professional recording, but the sound and light must be sufficient to be able to assess you. It is best to avoid backlight.
  • You should make one video file per task.
  • Use your full name and the number of the task as the name of the file.
  • All four videos have to be uploaded through the application portal at studieoptag.dk
  • The video must be in one of the following formats: mp4, mov or webm
  • You can upload until the end of the application deadline, but you must be aware that it can take up to 10 minutes to upload the file, so we recommend that you start well in advance.

  • The members of the admissions committee watch the videos individually.
  • The videos will not be shown to anyone other than the admission committee.
  • The videos are not forwarded to anyone.
  • The videos are viewed in their entire length.
  • Headphones are used so that the sound is as optimal as possible.
