Completely free education
For all EU citizens, higher education at Danish public universities is completely free. There are no hidden tuition fees – you only need to cover your living expenses, which can be easily managed with the help of the SU grant. It is one of the few countries in the world where you can get a world-class degree for free!
Government support – SU grant
Students who work at least 10–12 hours a week during their studies receive the SU grant from the Danish government – about €993 per month (before taxes). This is non-repayable support that helps cover living costs. Read more about finances on kastu.eu/finances/denmark.
Practice-oriented studies
Theoretical lectures make up only a small part of the studies. Most of your time will be spent working on real projects, solving business cases, and developing practical skills. This means that upon graduation, you will have not only a diploma but also real work experience.
Lecturers are your partners, not punishers
In Denmark, lecturers communicate with students as equals. Your opinion is valued, critical thinking is encouraged, and the lecturer acts as an advisor and mentor. Forget formality – what matters here is what you think, not how you look.
International environment and networking
Thousands of students from all over the world study at Danish universities. During your studies, you will build valuable international connections and learn to work in a team with people from different cultures – skills that every employer values.
Excellent career prospects
Denmark has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, and universities work closely with businesses. Many students start their careers while still studying, and after graduation, they easily enter the job market both in Denmark and worldwide.

What is most important when applying to Denmark?
Applying to Danish universities is different from what you might be used to in your home country. Here, the most important thing is not your grades, but your motivation and personality. Here are three key things to pay attention to:
- Motivation letter. Danish higher education institutions highly value your motivation and personality, so it is essential to write a high-quality motivation letter and get a good reference from a teacher! Tips on how to write a motivation letter can be found here.
- English language proficiency. When applying for Bachelor's studies, you can prove your English language proficiency in several ways: by passing the free Oxford test organized by Kastu (accepted by some academies), by having at least 210 hours of English lessons in the last 3 years of high school (accepted by most universities), or by passing the IELTS/TOEFL test. Read more about the requirements here.
- Subjects taken. Another unique Danish requirement when applying for Bachelor's studies is the number of hours of subjects taken. Danish higher education institutions do not place much emphasis on your grades or state exam scores, but when applying, you must provide the number of hours of subjects taken in the last 3 years of high school. Therefore, when applying, you will need to attach a completed transcript of records to the Kastu application form.
