Grants and scholarships

Please note that Aarhus University is generally unable to offer financial support to foreign students, which means that you must either have sufficient financial means to pay your tuition fees and cover your stay in Denmark or apply to your own national authorities for a study grant.

EU/EEA/Swiss students

Aarhus University does not offer any scholarships for EU/EEA/Swiss students, who should be able to support themselves.

Non-EU/EEA/Swiss students

Aarhus University administers a few scholarships financed by the Danish state for highly qualified non-EU/EEA/Swiss applicants to Master’s degree programmes.

The scholarships include either a partial or full tuition waiver, generally, but not always, including a monthly grant towards living expenses.

Students from so-called developing countries (as defined by the Danish Tax Council) can be exempted from paying tax in Denmark.

Please note that the number of scholarships/tuition waivers is usually very limited.

Only very highly qualified applicants can be nominated for a tuition waiver/scholarship, but unfortunately not all very highly qualified students can be nominated for a scholarship/tuition waiver due to the limited number of scholarships available.

Students cannot apply for a scholarship, but can only be nominated through their application for admission for a Master's programme.

Applicants to Bachelor's degree programmes are not eligible for tuition waivers/scholarships.

Student loans

Aarhus University does not offer any student loan service.

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
