Higher education in Denmark

                   Higher Education in Denmark:

The Danish university sector includes 12 research universities, 5 of which are multi-faculty universities. The remaining 7 are specialist universities in engineering, education, IT, pharmacy, veterinary science and business.

Overall higher education in Denmark is provided by three different types of institutions:
Universities: these are mostly like our own universities in Australia with a commitment to teaching and research though not all are broad based across many faculties. Some are specialised in areas such as technical science, business or agriculture. They offer both two year Master’s degrees or three year PhDs and in this format they will be familiar to Australian students.

University colleges/Colleges
These institutions have a professional focus and combine theoretical studies with applied research and practical application in many different fields. They do not offer postgraduate qualifications.

Applications:

 International students may apply for all programmes from undergraduate to PhD level. Each institution is responsible for the admission, so you should get further information about entrance qualifications, supplementary tests and the possibilities of transfer of credits from the admission offices at the institutions. You will find around 130 programmes conducted in English, mainly at master and PhD level.
Actual application forms are usually available at the educational institutions from about 2 months before the deadline but you should have many of your preparations in place before this. Note that for Master and PhD programmes the deadlines will vary so the rule is to make contact with the institution as early as possible.
