Frequently asked questions
Does Copenhagen’s Danish Government Scholarship include a stipend?
Sometimes. The University of Copenhagen says a scholarship may cover tuition only or both tuition and living expenses, depending on faculty and selection. There is no single university-wide stipend amount. Any living support may be taxable in Denmark, so rely on the formal award letter for exact terms.
When should applicants apply for UCPH scholarships?
There is no separate scholarship deadline because eligible applicants are considered through their Master’s application. The relevant deadline is the programme’s admission deadline, which depends on the programme and applicant group. Applicants should check the specific course page and must not assume that a scholarship will be awarded before accepting an offer.
