Undergraduate Scholarship in Denmark for Non-EU students

It is now possible for highly qualified students, who are not from EU/EAA countries or Switzerland, to apply for a scholarship. This will cover tuition and contribute to living expenses while studying at UCL. The scholarship covers the tuition fee for one semester (4 months), and additionally you will receive approximately 6000 DKK each month to contribute to your living expenses.

Depending on your nationality, you will have to pay Danish tax. We will inform you of this if you are selected for a scholarship.

You can only apply for the scholarship to study at the Department of Social Education, the Department of Teacher Education or the Department of Nursing. All three departments are located in Odense.

TWhat we can offer

For the autumn 2016 you can only apply for a scholarship for studies at our Departments of Nursing.

At the Department of Nursing, you combine the English module: Nursing, Ethics  and Research-Based Knowledge (15 ECTS) with a clinical placement (15 ECTS) at a Danish health-care facility for a total duration of 4 months. Clinical placement at a department appropriate for your studies will provide you with insights to the Danish health-care system.
