Foreign students may be admitted to Danish higher education either as guest students, international students or as regular students along with the Danish applicants.


Higher education comprises the university sector, which offers research based undergraduate and graduate programmes, as well as a parallel sector for professional bachelor and diploma programmes and more business oriented programmes. Most higher education institutions offer courses in English, and at graduate level several English programmes such as MBA and MPA programmes are available.


Furthermore a variety of long and short programmes related to specific subjects (e.g. the police academy) as well as a number of programmes offered by the private sector (like e.g. banking) are available. For these programmes a good knowledge of Danish is required.

As a starting point, you need a residence permit before arriving in Denmark. The Danish Immigration Service recommends that the application be handed in approx. 2-3 months before expected arrival.

The application should be sent to the Danish mission in the country you come from or have lived in for the last 3 months. Application forms can be obtained 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.
