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.
