This brochure is a brief guide for non-Danish students investigating the possibility of being admitted to a course of higher education in Denmark. The aim is to provide a sense of direction. More detailed information can be obtained from the appended addresses and Web sites and the reading list.
In Denmark more than 130 institutions of higher education offer courses and study programmes with varying lengths and levels. The institutions can be classified into two sectors, the university and college sectors.
The university sector includes five multifaculty universities; ten universities specializing in such fields as engineering, veterinary science, pharmacy, art, architecture and business studies; and two academies of music. These institutions award researchbased degrees both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The college sector comprises more than 100 specialized colleges of higher education that normally offer short and mediumterm professionally oriented programmes of higher education in teacher training, social work, physiotherapy, nursing, engineering, design, music and other disciplines. Most of the colleges are small, specialized institutions with 400-600 students and offer one or a few study programmes in a specific field.
The state finances and regulates most institutions of higher education; there are very few private institutions.
Most university programmes consist of a 3year bachelor's degree programme followed by a 2year programme leading to a Candidatus degree (master's degree). Most degree programmes are selfcontained, and students choose their specialty when they begin their studies. Programmes for the Candidatus degree include 6 months of work on a thesis. A few disciplines (such as medicine, veterinarian medicine and pharmacy) do not award a bachelor's degree: only the Candidatus degree after 5 to 61_2 years of study. Three years of supervised postgraduate studies after the Candidatus degree leads to a Ph.D. degree.
The degree programmes offered by Aalborg University and Roskilde University begin with 1 or 2year basic programmes with a broad and interdisciplinary introduction to the more specialized degree programmes. The study methods at these universities focus on problemcentered and projectoriented group work.
Most college programmes last 3 or 4 years. They are professionally oriented and normally include periods of practical training. The general admission requirements are the same as for the university degree programmes. Some countries offer comparable courses of study as part of their university programmes, but Denmark has a long tradition of offering them at specialized institutions.
Apart from the regular degreeoriented study programmes, Danish institutions also offer courses as open education.
Denmark's institutions of higher education expect students to be very independent and active. Besides traditional lectures, most teaching is conducted in the form of seminars and small work groups in which all participants are expected to contribute actively. Part of the studies consists of independent project and research work.
The academic year is divided into two terms: the autumn semester (from August or September until the end of December) and the spring semester (from January or February to May or June). Examinations are conducted in January and June.
Danish institutions do not normally charge tuition for regular study programmes. Participation in open education programmes is subject to fees.
The usual language of instruction is Danish, but more and more institutions offer some of their regular courses in English or another foreign language or have special arrangements for non-Danish students. Nevertheless, opportunities to take a full degree in a language other than Danish are still limited. Further information about courses in other languages are available from the individual institutions (see list of addresses).
Denmark's International Study Program (DiS), an institution affiliated with the University of Copenhagen, offers tuitionbased courses in English for students who want to spend one or two semesters in Denmark studying within such fields as the humanities and social sciences, international business, architecture and design, marine biology and ecology, engineering and environmental studies. Applications must be submitted through a university or college in the United States, Canada and Australia with which DiS has an agreement. Further information can be obtained from DiS (see list of addresses).
Non-Danish students aiming at a full degree from an institution of higher education in Denmark must apply for admission on the same terms as Danish students. They are eligible for admission if they can prove that they have sufficient command of Danish and hold either a Danish qualifying examination or qualifications recognized or assessed as being comparable to the Danish entrance qualifications. Examples include:
upper secondary certificates and diplomas from the Nordic countries, European Union countries and other countries that have signed the European Convention on the Equivalence of Diplomas Leading to Admission to Universities;
the International and the European Baccalaureate;
high school diplomas from the United States either followed by up to two years of university or college studies in relevant subjects or supplemented by three advanced placement examinations in relevant subjects with a grade of 3 or higher. This also applies to applicants with a high school diploma from countries with a similar educational system; and
bachelor's degrees in relevant subjects from universities in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the Philippines.
Each individual institution decides on admission. Further information about entrance qualifications and supplementary tests can be obtained from the admission offices at the institutions.
Fulfilling the general admission requirements is often not enough to be admitted to a given programme. Many programmes have specific course requirements, such as a given combination of subjects or a minimum score in certain subjects.
Proof of a good command of both Danish and English is a prerequisite for admission as a regular student. Students from outside the Nordic countries must pass a Danish test. The test normally required is Danskprøve 2 (Danish Test 2) from Studieskolen or an equivalent test. The test comprises both an oral and a written examination. Registration for the tests and the preparatory courses takes place at Studieskolen (see list of addresses). Students applying for admission for August or September must have passed the required Danish test no later than May or June.
Each institution decides how many places are available for most disciplines. The Ministry of Education regulates admission in such fields as medicine, teacher and educator training. In 1995 about 60,000 students applied for admission, and about 40,000 were admitted. When there are more qualified applicants than places available, the applicants are normally admitted according to the following system.
The available places are divided into two quota systems. Places in the first quota are distributed to applicants with Danish qualifying examinations based on the average mark obtained at their final examination at the upper secondary level.
Places in the second quota are awarded based on individual assessment by the institution. Applicants with an international or foreign qualifying examination are also admitted through this quota.
Some institutions, including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the music academies and the Danish School of Journalism, have their own aptitude tests.
The application deadlines for all applicants with examinations from outside Denmark, regardless of nationality are:
admission in August or September: 15 March
admission in January or February: 1 September.
Application forms can be obtained from the Danish institutions of higher education (see list of addresses) approximately 2 months before the deadlines.
Students who wish to attend advanced courses at a Danish institution of higher education for 3-12 months as part of their current studies in their home countries may apply for admission as guest students either individually (called free movers) or under the terms of an official exchange agreement (such as Socrates/Erasmus or a bilateral agreement). Applicants must be enrolled at an institution of higher education outside Denmark and must have completed studies equivalent to at least 1 year of studies at an institution of higher education in Denmark. Guest students are not required to take any Danish test, but some institutions require a good working knowledge of Danish or recommend that guest students take Danish courses. Many institutions offer intensive language courses before the start of the term.
Potential guest students should normally apply to the international office of the Danish institution or to the student's home institution if the visit falls under a formal exchange programme.
The usual entrance requirement for Ph.D. programmes in Denmark is a Danish master's (Candidatus) degree or an equivalent academic level. Although Danish is the basic language at all Denmark's universities, Ph.D. programmes are increasingly being conducted in English; in principle, Englishspeaking students can obtain a Ph.D. degree in most subjects at a Danish university without knowing Danish. As each Ph.D. programme is primarily planned by the host university faculty or department, all questions about admission of or visits from non-Danish students should be directed to the relevant faculty or department.
Non-Danish students must enter into an agreement with a university researcher who agrees to supervise the Ph.D. studies before applying for a Ph.D. programme.
Very few statefinanced scholarships are available to non-Danish Ph.D. students, and it is difficult to find private grants. Non-Danish students therefore usually need sufficient external money to cover their living expenses. They also have to negotiate individually the financial conditions for being accepted as a Ph.D. student, as each university has different financing and regulations.
Students from the Nordic countries do not need a residence permit to study in Denmark. For students of all other nationalities, a residence permit is required if the stay is expected to be longer than 3 months. No residence permit is required if the stay is expected to be shorter than 3 months, but a visa may be required for the nationals of certain countries.
Students from European Union countries who have been accepted for enrolment at a recognized educational institution in Denmark are entitled to a residence permit for European Union citizens for the study period. The student must have health insurance if necessary (see section V) and money to cover his or her living expenses. The institution in Denmark may be able to assist accepted students who need to apply for a permit.
The applicant must apply for a residence permit for studying in Denmark through the Danish diplomatic mission in the home country when accepted for admission. The permit must be issued before the student arrives in Denmark. A student cannot expect to obtain a residence permit if the sole purpose of the stay is to learnDanish, and a residence permit cannot be obtained during a temporary stay in Denmark.
To obtain a residence permit, a student must prove that he or she can pay all costs related to the stay.
Students from Nordic and European Union countries may work in Denmark without a permit.
Students from other countries can take paid employment if they obtain a work permit. This permit must be applied for through Denmark's diplomatic mission in the student's home country before departure for Denmark. Work permits are not normally issued to people with residence permits for studying in Denmark.
Anyone staying in Denmark is entitled to free emergency hospital treatment.
Students from the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom are entitled to the same health services as Danes when acute medical treatment is needed. Students from other European Union countries and Liechtenstein are also entitled to the same health services as residents of Denmark when acute medical treatment is needed if they bring an E111 form from their home country. Students from other countries are not entitled to any free medical care except the emergency hospital treatment mentioned above and are urged to obtain health insurance.
Students who are registered with the national registry in Denmark are automatically covered by Denmark's health insurance scheme after a period of 6 weeks. Students coming from European Union countries, Croatia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Morocco, Norway, Pakistan, Quebec, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey can avoid the waiting period if they are covered by the public health insurance scheme of their home countries and bring the necessary documentation.
If the student thinks that he or she can comply with the requirements outlined previously, the next step is to contact the educational institution directly to ensure that an existing diploma can qualify for admission.
Nevertheless, four requirements must be emphasized:
1) the language requirement (see section II.A);
2) admission restrictions (see section II.A);
3) the application deadline (see section II.A);
and
4) residence permit (see section III).
Danish educational institutions are generally unable to offer financial support or scholarships to non-Danish students.
Students from European Union countries and other countries participating in the Socrates/Erasmus and Leonardo da Vinci programmes may apply for special exchange and mobility grants to carry out a fully recognized period of study (3-12 months). Students from the Nordic countries, the Baltic States and certain other countries in central and eastern Europe have other possibilities, such as the Nordplus and Tempus programmes. Students should seek further information about these opportunities at the institution at which they are studying in the home country.
A few state scholarships are available to non-Danish students and researchers from countries with which Denmark has a bilateral agreement. The scholarships are granted for 4-9 months to supplement higher education the applicant is taking or has taken elsewhere. The scholarships are not granted for elementary studies of Danish. All applications for Danish state scholarships must be submitted through the authorities of the applicant's home country.
Financial support may be available for doctoral training and scientific cooperation, but only for limited stays. Scientists interested in coming to Denmark for research training are advised to contact Danish colleagues. At the postdoctoral level, funding is available through European Union programmes such as the TMR programme (Training and Mobility for Researchers). Further information on financial support can be obtained from the Danish Research Academy (Forskerakademiet; see list of addresses).
All universities are listed but, for space reasons, selected colleges are listed for each field of study. These colleges can supply potential applicants with the addresses of other relevant institutions. The Secretariat of the Danish Rectors' Conference can also provide the addresses of appropriate institutions.
