The Danish Government extends a warm invitation to highly qualified and driven international students from across the globe to pursue studies in Denmark. Consequently, the Danish Ministry of Education presents various scholarships annually to support students from countries beyond the European Union/European Economic Area. These scholarships may be granted for full degree higher education programs.
