Admission Guest Student Scholarships

Cultural Agreements

The Danish Government Scholarships under the Cultural Agreements are aimed at highly qualified exchange students and young research scientists wishing to immerse themselves in studies of the Danish language and culture or other fields of study related to Denmark. Scholarships are available to master’s and PhD-level students from higher education institutions. However, bachelor's degree students wishing to study the Danish language and literature can also apply if they have studied the Danish language for two years.
