Study in Denmark
World-class universities, Scandinavian work-life balance, and a pathway into Europe's innovation economy.
Why Denmark?
Denmark's universities are internationally recognised for research excellence, particularly in life sciences, clean energy, and engineering. The University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, and DTU rank among Europe's leading institutions. Danish universities emphasise project-based learning, small group interaction, and close industry collaboration — a model that produces highly employable graduates. Most graduate programs are English-taught.
Cost of living
DKK 10,000–14,000/month; Copenhagen is more expensive than other Danish cities.
Post-study work pathway
Non-EU graduates who complete a qualifying degree in Denmark may apply for a 6-month job seeker permit to seek employment in Denmark or across the EU. Securing skilled work leads to a work and residence permit.
Admissions
A bachelor's degree with strong academic results, IELTS 6.5 for English-taught master's programs, and an application submitted directly to the university. Admission to top programs is competitive.
Scholarships
The Danish Government Scholarship supports some non-EU students at select institutions. Individual university scholarships vary. Note: the Danish SU student grant is not available to non-EU students.
