Denmark

Country: Denmark

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.

Denmark is not a cheap country. According to Study in Europe, students usually spend €1,000–1,700 a month, depending on the city and their lifestyle. Study in Denmark breaks down a monthly budget like this:

accommodation – DKK 3,000–6,500, usually including bills,
food – DKK 2,000–3,500,
books and materials – DKK 400–650,
transport – DKK 300, phone – DKK 250, insurance – around DKK 300,
other expenses – around DKK 2,000.

As a rough guide: €1 is about DKK 7.5.

Start looking for accommodation several months before you arrive. In the big cities it is very hard to find a room in August and September, and Study in Denmark advises against arriving without confirmed housing. As soon as you are admitted, contact your institution – it will help you get a place in a student residence (kollegium) or point you to local options.
