Fee
Tuition fees for EU/EEA citizens
Applicants who are citizens of an EU or EEA country have access to free higher education in Denmark and therefore do not need to pay a tuition fee.
Application deposit (non-EU/EEA applicants)
As a general rule, Absalon requires applicants from countries outside the EU to pay an application deposit fee of 3.750 DKK. The fee must be paid prior to assessment of the application.
The deposit is non-refundable, unless the applicant is admitted to the programme. In that case, the deposit will be deducted from the first tuition fee invoice.
Applicants who are citizens in a country outside the EU have to pay a tuition fee before the start of every semester. The price for every semester is listed below:
- 1.-5. Semester DKK 81.578,14 / Approx. Euro 10.877,09 per semester
- 6. Semester DKK 10.833,75/ Approx. Euro 1.444,50
- 7. Semester DKK 81.578,14/ Approx. Euro 10.877,09
- Total DKK 500.302,58 / Approx. Euro 66.707,01
