Step 5: Application fee and tuition fees

This step only applies to non-EU/EEA citizens.

If you are from an EU country, an EEA country or Switzerland, you are not required to pay the application fee or tuition fees.
 

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. Following the approval of the Withdrawal Agreement, your rights as a student in Denmark remain unchanged as if you were still an EU citizen during the transitional period set out in the agreement. This also applies if you begin a higher education after the transitional period as long as you are residing in Denmark before 31 December 2020.

You can read more about how the Withdrawal Agreement might affect you on the website of the Ministry of Immigration and Integration.
