Great news for study abroad aspirants planning to pursue their Masters in Denmark! Aarhus University (AU) is offering Masters scholarships to exceptional international students, with funding provided by the Danish Government.
Danish State Scholarships offer a full or partial tuition fee waiver ranging between €8,000 to €15,300 for masters in Denmark to non-EU students. For certain programs, the scholarship also includes a monthly grant towards the living expenses, though this might not always cover the entire duration of your master's program.
Scholarships that solely cover tuition do not provide students with complete financial support, yet they frequently offer additional benefits to recipients. These benefits may include assistance in securing student jobs and other resources to manage living expenses.
Even with a tuition waiver, obtaining a student residence permit is necessary. This permit demonstrates that the individual has sufficient funds to support themselves while living in Denmark.
Students applying for the below mentioned faculty are eligible for this Masters scholarship as per the given break up.
This scholarship is also applicable for the below given bachelor’s program.
