Degrees in Denmark

In Denmark, undergraduate degrees are offered at both traditional universities and specialised higher education institutions. These programs award qualifications such as Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Arts (BA), and Bachelor of Engineering (BEng).

Danish is commonly the language of teaching, but a significant number of programs are also available in English, reflecting Denmark’s wish to attract and accommodate international students.

How to Apply for a Degree in Denmark

International students usually apply through a centralised application system known as the Coordinated Enrollment System (KOT). Necessary documents typically include academic transcripts, a motivation letter, and a resume or CV.

Proficiency in English is essential for programs taught in English, with tests such as IELTS or TOEFL often required. Some programs may also require Danish language proficiency, typically demonstrated through tests like the Studieprøven. Academic requirements can vary by program but generally include specific GPA or SAT scores and relevant subject knowledge.

Undergraduate Tuition Fees for International Students

Tuition fees for international students in Denmark vary by nationality. EU/EEA and Swiss students generally do not pay tuition, while non-EU/EEA students can expect to pay between €6,000 and €16,000 annually. Public universities in Denmark usually charge lower fees compared to private institutions.

There are numerous scholarships and financial aid options available to help support international students financially. These are provided by Danish universities, the Danish government, and various international organisations, designed to make studying in Denmark more accessible to foreign students.
