Brexit
The United Kingdom’s (UK) decision to leave the EU means that, as of 31 January 2020, the UK is no longer an EU Member State. According to the Withdrawal Agreement UK citizens residing in Denmark before 31 December 2020 are allowed to begin a higher education as if you were still an EU citizen.
Tuition fee waivers and scholarships
A limited number of Danish state tuition fee waivers and scholarships are offered for selected master’s programmes to highly talented students who come from countries outside of the EU/EEA and are required to pay tuition fees at 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University.
The tuition fee waivers and scholarships are only distributed once a year for the September entry. The tuition fee waiver and scholarship has a maximum length of 22 months for programmes that start in September. The scholarship amounts to DKK 7,800 per month, and is meant to cover living expenses in Denmark.
Tuition fee waiver and scholarship students must follow the study plan and not be delayed in their studies in order to maintain the tuition fee waiver and scholarship.
Who can apply for a scholarship?
In order to be eligible to apply for a tuition fee waiver and scholarship, you must be a non-EU/EEA citizen that is required to pay tuition fees and apply to one of the master’s programmes that offer scholarships.
Please note that being eligible to apply for a tuition fee waiver and scholarship does not guarantee that you will be awarded a tuition fee waiver and scholarship, as there is only a limited number. Applicants are ranked based on their academic performance, motivational letter and work experience. Family or social background is not taken into account.
Before each admission round, the university selects the specific master’s programmes that may offer one or more tuition fee waivers and scholarships.

Enrolled students cannot re-apply for a tuition fee waiver and scholarship
It is not possible to apply or re-apply for the tuition fee waiver and scholarship for a later semester than your semester of admission. You are only able to apply for the tuition fee waiver and scholarship as part of your application for admission to the selected master’s programmes.
