With 100 universities to choose from and a world of opportunities - read on below to answer a few questions that may help you get started.
Research your opportunities and think them through before you apply
Before you start your application, we encourage you to spend good time on researching both your possibilities for exchange as well as think about what does studying abroad actually entail.
Some of the things there may be useful to consider are:
- Would you like to study abroad close to Denmark or far away?
In this, think about how much of a cultural difference you wish to experience abroad? Do you wish to be as far away as possible, in a culture very different from Denmark? or close to Denmark/your family and friends, so they can visit you and the other way around.
- Are you going on exchange to grow on a personal level, strengthen your professional and academic profile, boost your CV - or maybe all of them? Think about what may be the most important aspect in choosing the universities on your application.
- Did you think about whether or not you will be able to obtain a student visa to the country you wish to study in?
Please be aware that there may be special circumstances that make it harder to obtain a student visa/ residence permit, such as a chronic disease, a criminal record or citizenship.
- What is your budget? Do you have room in your budget for studies abroad? Will you be able to bring your SU? Are there any scholarships you can apply for (Erasmus+ scholarship if apply to study within EU/ EEA)?
Answering the questions above may help you closer to finding out, where in the world you would like to apply to and which universities you would like to prioritize in your application.
