The admission requirement for such undergraduate programs is to possess a qualification comparable to a Danish qualifying examination.

The Academies of Professional Higher Education (Erhversakademier)
Professionally oriented higher education programs are offered at The Academies of Professional Higher Education colleges.

The courses are two to two and half years in duration.
Higher education in Denmark is by and large provided free of cost for EU/EEA students, including study exchange program students. However, students who are neither EU/EEA students nor exchange program students have to pay a tuition fee range from 6,000 to 16,000 Euros. Nevertheless, availability of a variety of scholarships for study also enhances Denmark’s credibility as a viable study destination.
There is a lot of state funding or grant programs like the SUV, VEU and SU that are offered by the Danish government. SUV applies for education in basic school, high school or university, while VEU applies for education in the business education levels. Students who are eligible for SU also qualify for low interest state loans.
