Tuition fees and scholarships

Tuition fees

Higher education in Denmark is usually provided free of charge for all EU/EEA students and for students who are participating in an exhange programme. All other students have to pay a tuition fee. Annual tuition fees for full-time degree students range from 6,000 to 16,000 Euro.

Scholarships and grants

For full degrees or part of a degree

Scholarships are available for students from non-EU/EEA countries studying at higher education institutions in Denmark. The scholarships are administered by the institutions, so please enquire about this at the institution when you apply for admission.

Through the Erasmus Mundus scheme, it is possible to apply for a scholarship to undertake specific Master's degree programmes offered jointly by a Danish institution and other European institutions. For further information, please refer to  Erasmus Mundus in Denmark .

Exchange/visiting students

If you are studying through an exchange agreement or as a visiting student, the possibility of obtaining financial assistance will depend on your home institution and the chosen exchange agreement:

• If you are studying in a European country participating in the Erasmus programme, you can apply for exchange and mobility grants at your home institution.
• If you are studying in a Nordic country and certain European countries outside the EU you can apply for grants through Nordplus and Tempus.
• If you are studying in a country outside the EU, we would advise you to seek information about grants and scholarships at your home institution.
• If your home country has a bilateral agreement with Denmark, it is also possible for non-Danish students and researchers to apply for a number of Danish Goverment scholarships.
  

In addition to the above mentioned opportunities, a range of other grants and scholarships are available. American students may for example be eligible to apply for a Fulbright scholarship. Further information is available at the Denmark-American Foundation and the Fulbright Commission .

Several scholarship programmes for students from inside and outside the EU are listed at the EU-database Ploteus .

In accordance with the Cultural Agreement Programmes and other scholarship exchange programmes, Denmark offers scholarships to nationals from countries inside and outside the EU. 

Finally, PhD students and researchers are advised to look at The Researcher's Mobility Portal for information about available programmes.
