Only a subset of vocational degrees grants direct entry into post-secondary programs in Denmark. For example, prior vocational training in carpentry provides direct admission into the bachelor’s program in Construction Architecture. By contrast, landscape gardening (an otherwise similar vocational degree to carpentry) does not offer entry to any post-secondary program, so a worker would have to complete an additional three years of high school to become eligible for higher education.
