Course fees
Citizens of the European Union (EU) are entitled to attend university in Denmark or any EU country (this means the 27 member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The same conditions apply to all EU citizens whether a national of the country or not. This means that you are not required to pay higher course fees and that you are entitled to apply for any grants available to help with tuition fees.
In Denmark, higher education is free for students from the EU, the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and for those who are participating in an exchange programme.
You are also exempt if you have a parent who is not from an EU/EEA country but works in Denmark, a permanent residence permit, or a temporary residence permit that can be upgraded.
Other students will have to pay tuition fees, which range from €6,000 - €16,000 depending on the university and course.
Funding to study in Denmark
Despite there being no tuition fees for EU/EEA students, grants and scholarships are still sometimes available to contribute to living costs. For more details, see the Danish Educational Support Agency - State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme .
There are a number of things on offer for non-EU/EEA students too, including Danish government scholarships for highly qualified non-EU/EEA students.
For more information and a list of grants available to overseas students, visit Study in Denmark - Tuition Fees and Scholarships .
Danish exchanges and placements
Students attending UK universities can take part in the EU's education, training and youth support programme Erasmus+ . The scheme replaces its predecessor 'Erasmus' and offers study, training, work experience and voluntary placements to millions of young people, students and adults. Opportunities last from three months to one academic year in EU countries.
Financial support is available through the Erasmus+ initiative to any UK public, private or not-for-profit organisation actively involved in education and training.
Your university must have a formal agreement with a partner university in Denmark. Check that your university is involved in the programme and offers the Erasmus+ scheme in your subject.
It isn't necessary to have any knowledge of the Danish language, but you can arrange intensive language courses before you go. Speak to the Erasmus+ coordinator at your university about available opportunities.
Student visas
As an EU citizen, you are permitted to live in any EU country while studying as long as you:
are studying for more than three months;
are enrolled at an approved university/other educational institution;
have sufficient income (from any source) to live without needing income support;
have comprehensive health insurance cover.
