Tuition fees

Applicants with citizenship from countries outside of the EU/EEA or Non-Nordic Countries must pay tuition fees. Applicants with a permanent residence permit in Denmark – or permit with a possibility of permanent residence in Denmark – are exempted from this rule.

The University of Copenhagen uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The ECTS system defines a full study load for one year as 60 ECTS. Tuition fees are in the range of EUR 10,000 to 17,000 per 60 ECTS/academic year, depending on the programme.

Fees are paid either annually for 60 ECTS or biannually for 30 ECTS depending on the programme. Along with an offer of admission, students will receive information on how and when to pay tuition, as well as term of payment. For September admission, the first rate is due in April-May.

The master programmes last two years and are made up of 120 ECTS. Students must always pay for 120 ECTS/four semesters, even if you take longer – or finish faster. The tuition fee covers up to three attempts to pass each course.
