Step 4: Pay the Application Fee

This step only applies to non-EU/EEA citizens

If you are from an EU country, an EEA-country or Switzerland, you are exempt from paying the application fee and should go to step 6.

If you are a non-EU/EEA citizen, you must pay the application fee in order to have your application processed—unless you fulfil one of the strictly limited exemptions described below.

Please notice: According to the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, UK citizens residing in Denmark before 31 December 2020 are allowed to begin a higher education as if they were still EU citizens and therefore they are exempt from paying the application fee.

NB: Applicants for the tuition fee waiver and scholarship are not exempt from paying the application fee.
