Non-EU students can expect to pay between 6,000 and 16,000 EUR per year, while master's degree programs range from 6,000 to 25,000 EUR per year.

To study in Denmark, non-EU/EEA/Swiss students must have a student visa or residence permit, while EU/EEA/Swiss students must register with the authorities upon arrival. All students in Denmark must have health insurance, and non-EU/EEA/Swiss students must have comprehensive insurance covering the entire duration of their stay, including repatriation costs. Requirements may vary, so it's best to contact the authorities for more information.

Admission requirements for studying in Denmark vary by institution and program of study. Generally, international students must have a qualification equivalent to a Danish upper secondary school leaving certificate. Undergraduates must meet specific requirements, such as language proficiency or entrance exams. Graduates must have completed a bachelor's degree or equivalent, and meet program-specific requirements.

Scandinavian, German and Dutch students can apply for financial aid in the form of governmental loans and scholarships. If you live outside the mentioned countries, you can always apply for scholarships offered to international students by the university.
