Financing your studies in Denmark: General overview and country-specific information

Denmark is internationally recognized for its high academic standards and dedication to providing students with not only a diverse and tight-knit community of peers and instructors, but also a wide variety of internships, invaluable problem-solving skills, and scholarships. This is accomplished through close relationships between faculty and students, and many project-based assignments that go beyond a lecture room and push students to work with others.

Among Europe, Denmark is one of a few countries whose currency is not Euro, but Danish Krones (DDK). From an economic point of view, Denmark’s wealth is one of the highest in Europe and as a student you can profit from this situation.
