Are you finishing high school and just about to enter the higher education field? Or you have already finished a degree and want to continue your studies? Well, Denmark might just be the place for you, as Danish institutions offer courses and programmes tailored to almost all needs!
What are my study options?
Regardless of whether you are interested in a research-oriented programme or an applied programme, you will have plenty of options in Denmark.
Danish higher education institutions offer a wide range of opportunities for international students. Programmes and degrees are internationally recognised and of the highest quality. And with almost 700 programmes taught in English we most probably have the right course for you!
What’s more, the Danish higher education system is flexible, allowing you to choose between three types of educational institutions and even letting you move between institutions.
Before choosing your programme, you first need to decide on the purpose of your studies. What is your ultimate goal?
Do you want a professional qualification that will lead to a specific career?
In that case you might wish to consider one of the Academy Profession's or Professional Bachelor’s programmes that have a strong focus on professional practice.
Are you focused on academic achievement? In that case you may prefer a more research-based university bachelor’s degree that offers more time for independent study, group activities and project work.
You can choose between several programmes taught entirely in English:
- Academy Profession (AP) degree programmes
- Bachelor's degree programmes
- Master's programmes
- PhD programmes
- Exchange programmes
- Short-term programmes and summer schools
You can choose between five types of Danish educational institutions:
- Universities
- University Colleges
- Business Academies
- Artistic Higher Education Institutions
- Schools of Maritime Education and Training
Thanks to credit transfer opportunities, you will sometimes be able to move between institutions.
