Currently, it is possible for highly qualified students, who are not from EU/EAA countries or Switzerland, to apply for a scholarship to study at the nursing programme.

The scholarship covers the tuition fee for one semester (4 months) at the nursing programme, and additionally you will receive approximately 7000 DKK each month to contribute to your living expenses.
