The Positive List for People with a Higher
Education
You have been offered a job included in the list of professions experiencing a shortage of qualified
professionals in Denmark.
Is my job on the Positive List for People with a Higher Education?
The Positive List for People with a Higher Education
Here is the overview of the job titles on the Positive List for People with a Higher Education arranged according to
the professional field.
The list will state whether a job title has been added by the Regional Labour Market Council (RAR) or the profession
specific unemployment insurance funds. If nothing is stated, the job title has been added based on the Labour
Market Balance.
The job titles added to the list by one of the Regional Labour Market Councils (RAR) will only apply to the
geographical area (municipalities) covered by the council that added the job title to the list.
Read more about the Regional Labour Market Councils and what areas they cover (opens in new window)
For every job title, you can also see when the job title in question can be delisted.
In order to be granted a residence and work permit under the scheme, your education must meet the education
requirement specified for each job title. At the same time, your education must be relevant to the job title.
Each of the job titles is listed with the corresponding classification code (DISCO-08-code).
Find information about the occupational classification DISCO-08 and the classification codes on the webpage of
Statistics Denmark (opens in new window)
