Universities in Denmark Accepting Cheap Tuition Fees from Foreign Students - Cost of Studying
Most students search for cheap tuition universities and schools in Denmark for, tuition fees, cost of living in Denmark and admission requirements. These are exactly what we have covered in this article. Also, I will like to let you know that there are many low tuition study abroad options one can choose from in Denmark.
Denmark as a Country
Denmark is known for its cheap and affordable tuition universities and colleges where international students with low financial income can study their dream courses.
It is also a popular international study destination in central Europe. Arriving at Denmark, you will discover that high-quality English-taught degree courses are operated there and innovative teaching methods which are practical based are used.
The very good European standard of living and diversified study subjects make Danish universities important contenders on the international higher education market. Before you finally decide if to study in Denmark or not, let’s consider other factors.
Tuition Fees
In Denmark, tuition fees to study at Bachelor’s or Master’s level is free only for students coming from the EU/EEA area and also for students participating in an exchange programme in Denmark.
In addition to that, most programmes are free but not all. All international students will have to pay some tuition fees of about 6,000 Euro.
Besides noting this, the tuition fees will also depend on the course one desires to study and the university offering the course. Above all, the average tuition fees is around 12,000 – 15,000 Euro/year. If you have the following you won't have to pay tuition fees as well
- Permanent residence permit in Denmark,
- Temporary residence permit which can be changed to a permanent one,
- Parent from a non-EU/EEA country who is already working in Denmark.
How to Apply
The Danish Immigration Service recommends that the application be submitted in about 2-3 months before your expected arrival.
If you are an international student, it is wise to send your application to the Danish mission in the country you come from or have lived in for the past 3 months.
You can also obtain the application forms from the mission or from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
If there is no Danish mission in the country in question, you can contact the mission of the Schengen country, which represents Denmark.
Cost of Living
Costs of living as an international student in Denmark are generally higher when compared to most places of the world. If you intend to live in the major cities like Copenhagen, you have to budget your expenses wisely so that you can put down the cost.
About 700 to 900 Euros every month can cater for your needs and will cover expenses like accommodation, books, food etc.
In the other hand, staying in minor cities in my opinion should be the best option since the living cost is cheaper.
Admission requirements
Again, in Denmark, the admission requirements are not the same for all courses or programmes. It is advisable to get this information from the institution you wish to study in.
We can still assist you on that. All you need to do is to send us the name of a university in Denmark that you may want to study in via a mail, the course and the level of study.
