  3. About Denmark Denmark has become an attractive study destination for international students for many reasons. The following overview will give you the most important information and guidelines about Denmark. Denmark has a high standard of living and combines social security with an attractive business climate and a clean and safe environment. Denmark's infrastructure is well developed. The railway network is extensive, the roads are of high standards and are relatively uncongested. The aviation system is among the most developed in the world and the airports have connections to most of the big international airports in the world. As most Danes speak English, you will find it easy to live in Denmark even if you do not speak any Danish. Approximately 80% of the population speaks English and many speak French, German or Spanish. When you go shopping, use public transportation and visit official buildings etc. you will find that you can manage perfectly well in English.

  4. The main reasons why go to study to Denmark 1. Quality of education - there are great courses offered by Danish institutions that use innovative study methodologies, e.g. project based learning. Several Danish institutions are among the best 200 universities in the world according to different rankings. 2. English based programs – there are many interesting and innovative courses available in Danish institutions that are meant for international students and are taught in English. You don’t have to know Danish to go to study to Denmark. 3. State funded education – for students coming from EU/EAA, studying in Denmark is free as Danish government is paying for the studies to attract international students to the country. 4. Good student job opportunities – there are good student job opportunities depending on the study location. Students need to work usually 12-15 hours a week to cover all their living costs. Of course, finding a job might be easier in some places than others. 5. International education – students in study groups are usually from different countries and that makes the education really international.

  5. Expenses Currency rate: 7,45 DKK = 1 € Education: Please find this information on the left side of this page. Living cost in Denmark varies place to place and universities to universities. However, in average the cost of living for international students in Denmark is approximately between 500€ and 800€ per one month. The cost of living in Copenhagen is higher that in other parts of Denmark. Living place is in average 250-350 € per month (2500 DK). Transportation is around 40-60 € per month (400 DK). Many students prefer bicycles as it is very easy in Denmark to get around by bicycle. Food & other costs are in average 200-300 € per month (2000 DK). Compared to other European countries, food and personal care items are expensive in Denmark. To get an idea of the price level, please visit the websites of supermarket chains in Denmark, such as Fotex, Netto, Aldi, Lidl, etc. 5,800 € per year will typically cover accommodation, food and general personal expenses.

  6. DENMARKAcademies of professional higher education –courses that combine academic study with practice. Typical fields of study include business, IT, technology, food and tourism. Such academies are located in both large and small cities and have excellent links with local businesses and industry. Courses are generally two years in duration, with part-time courses open to adults and those in continuing education also available. AP degree is awarded.

  7. University colleges – grant BA, BScdegrees (directly or AP + top-up). University colleges in Denmark combine theoretical study with practice in a wide range of subjects. Courses are generally offered in fields such as business, education, IT, nursing and social work. Students are prepared for entering the real world of work in their chosen profession by being sent out on work placements as part of their course.

  8. Universities - Danish universities, like many in Europe, combine education with research so that students are able to study at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Courses available vary from traditional academic subjects to more modern, innovative interdisciplinary courses.

  9. Admission requirements -Denmark1. Final diploma with certified translation in English 2. Copy of the candidates passport or ID card 3. A certification of English level – most of Danish universities accept TESA (except AU Herning, USD). University of South Denmark, as an exception, needs the hours of English classes that the candidate has followed and no other English certificate is need. 4. A motivation letter 5. (Home assignment – TEKO is one of the universities that ask the applicant to send it in. Please see the info specifically about each course and university.) NB! Please make sure to always check the exact requirements from ‘All info’ table.

  10. Education in the NetherlandsThe Netherlands has two main types of higher education institutions: universities and universities of applied sciences. Universities focus on the independent practice of research-oriented work in an academic or professional setting. Universities of applied sciences are more practically oriented, preparing students directly for specific careers.

  11. Financing possibilities in the Netherlands Tutionfee loan - CollegegeldkredietBecause the European Union dictates that all EU citizens must be treated equally, EU passport holders are automatically eligible for a tuition fee loan from the Dutch government. This is called Collegegeldkrediet. There are some important conditions you need to meet but these are rarely an issue.

  12. 1. You must be under the age of 30 when you start your course (over 30s can receive support but is not as generous). 2. You must have a Dutch bank account. 3. You must have a Dutch “burgerservicenummer” (citizen service number) which you will only receive when you have a permanent address in the Netherlands. 4. You are enrolled as a full-time student for an accredited course at a funded or recognized institute of higher education or university.

  13. Student financing and grant system - Studiefinanciering (Stufi) If you aren’t Dutch but are from the EU the main possibility to access this support is to work 32 hours a month in a registered job (from 2014 it will be 56 hours per month). You will need to be registered with the Dutch authorities for income tax and national insurance, although as a student you won’t actually have to pay this.

  14. So, you can only apply for Studiefinanciering once you have three months worth of pay checks from a Dutch employer that prove you are eligible for it. There are three components to Studiefinanciering (Stufi): 1. The basic grant The basic grant is a fixed amount payable to all Dutch students and those who meet the requirements outlined above. In 2012-2013 students who live with their parents (unlikely for foreign students) receive €95.61 per month. Students who live away from the family home receive €266.23. You must be registered as a resident with the relevant local authority in order to receive this funding. This is a grant, not a loan.

  15. 2. The supplementary grant/loan Depending on your family’s income you could be eligible for up to €244.60 per month as a grant. You need to provide proof of earnings, tax returns etc for the last two years in order to be considered for this. The amount you receive is calculated on a sliding scale depending on family income. If you are not eligible for this amount as a grant, you can still get the proportion that you do not receive as a loan. The precise thresholds for the grant/loan proportion are complicated but you can count on accessing this funding, just not necessarily the way you will receive it (whether a grant or a loan).

  16. 3. Additional loans If after receiving these grants and loans you still require additional financial assistance you can apply for a Top-Up loan. You can borrow up to €283.86 per month. This loan is designed to help you if you encounter additional costs during your studies, for example if you choose to study abroad during your degree. Interest will be charged on this loan at a commercial rate which will be determined at the time you complete your degree. This interest rate will be higher than that charged for the tuition fee loan. NB! If you receive STUFI, you have to graduate, otherwise you will have to pay back the grant you got.

  17. The required documents that we are sending to Dutch universities: 1. a copy of the candidate’s passport/id card 2. a certified copy of the candidate’s diploma with a translation in English or Dutch 3. the results of an English language test ( CAE, TOEFL, IELTS) - though actually, most of Dutch universities accept a national exam in English as a proof of required English (the exceptions are so far VU Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Wageningen, IHS, Hague). 4. a motivation letter 5. one or two references 6.copy of a birth certificate with an English translation and an apostille. Candidates from countries that are members of CIEC don’t have to have an apostille.
