Studying in Denmark is free for EU/EEA and Swiss students, including more than 500 programmes taught entirely in English, while students from outside the EU/EEA usually pay €6,000–16,000 a year. Bachelor's applications go through the central optagelse.dk portal, where you can choose up to 8 programmes. Explore the admission quotas, what a month costs (usually €1,000–1,700) and the rules on working while you study.
All programmes require good English. The standard is the Danish “English B” level:
Some programmes require the higher “English A” level: IELTS at least 7.0, TOEFL iBT 94–101 points or Cambridge CPE.
For programmes taught in Danish you usually have to pass the Danish as a second language exam (Studieprøven i dansk som andetsprog). International students can learn Danish for free, so you could start with a bachelor's in English and switch to a Danish-taught master's later.
