Eligibility Requirements
The scholarship is open to candidates from non-EU/EEA countries who are eligible to pay tuition fees. As an exchange or guest student, applicants can only follow courses at the master level if they have completed what is equivalent to 180 ECTS credits, which represents three years of university-level studies in relevant courses.
English language proficiency is mandatory. Applicants must have English skills comparable to the Danish B level. Exchange students can document this through a language requirement form, secondary school leaving certificate showing a minimum of 210 hours at high school level, an IELTS score of minimum 6.5, or a TOEFL score of minimum 575/230/88.
Application Process
To apply, candidates must upload all required documents to the online application form. Required documents include the Language Requirement Form (print out, fill in, scan, and upload) and a copy of a passport or ID card. Documents should not be sent by email or ordinary mail.
Applicants must first be admitted to the university. All eligible applicants who are offered study places will be automatically considered for the scholarship, with no separate scholarship application needed.
The scholarship is available to full-degree global learners from non-EU/EEA nations and through Cultural Agreements for Exchange and Guest Students. The program aims to grant complete tuition fee waivers and grants to candidates in recognition of the important investment made during their education by international learners.
