University of Copenhagen Danish Government Scholarship
Offered by University of Copenhagen
About this scholarship
The University of Copenhagen Danish Government Scholarship is the university's scholarship route for highly qualified non-EU/EEA students applying to MA or MSc degree programs. The official University of Copenhagen page states that the university offers a limited number of tuition waivers and grants through the Danish Government Scholarship programme. All non-EU/EEA applicants to University of Copenhagen MA and MSc programs are automatically considered, provided they are eligible; there is no separate scholarship application. The award is recorded as varies because the official page describes a limited number of tuition waivers and grants rather than one fixed amount, and students cannot rely on receiving the scholarship when deciding whether to accept an admission offer. The scholarship is partial or full depending on the award issued, and it may not cover all study or living costs. Applicants who are eligible for Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme support are not eligible for this scholarship route. Students should apply for the desired master's program by the applicable admission deadline and review scholarship outcome information after admission.
