About the Scholarship
The Danish Government Scholarship at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) 2027 provides highly qualified international students from outside the European Union and European Economic Area with an opportunity to study selected bachelor's and master's degree programmes in Denmark with a full tuition fee waiver.
Funded by the Danish government and administered by the University of Southern Denmark, the scholarship is available for selected programmes at the university's Vejle and Sønderborg campuses.
Successful applicants can receive a tuition fee waiver covering the standard duration of their eligible degree programme. Bachelor's students can receive coverage for up to three years, while master's students can receive coverage for up to two years.
The scholarship does not automatically cover accommodation, airfare, food or monthly living expenses. Students should therefore make separate financial arrangements for their living costs in Denmark.
Applicants do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. Eligible students are automatically considered when applying for admission to one of the designated programmes. Selection is competitive and based on academic qualifications and programme-specific assessments.
For the 2027 admission cycle, eligible programmes include Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Engineering Physics and Interactive Technology Engineering.
The scholarship is open to eligible non-EU/EEA citizens, including applicants from Rwanda, provided they satisfy the university's admission requirements.
