Danish State Sponsored Tuition Fee Scholarships - Roskilde University

Roskilde University states that a limited number of Danish state tuition fee waivers and scholarships are offered for selected master’s programmes to highly talented students who come from countries outside of the EU/EEA and are required to pay tuition fees at Roskilde University. These are described as tuition fee waivers and scholarships provided for selected master’s programmes.

Roskilde University states that eligibility to apply requires being a non-EU/EEA citizen who is required to pay tuition fees and applying to one of the master’s programmes that offer scholarships. For the September entry, Roskilde University lists: Master in Media and Communication, Master in Environmental Science, Master in Nordic Urban Planning Studies, and Master in Computer Science.

Roskilde University states that applicants are ranked based on their academic performance, motivational letter, and work experience. It also states that family or social background is not taken into account and that being eligible does not guarantee an award because the number is limited. Roskilde University further states that it selects which specific master’s programmes may offer one or more tuition fee waivers and scholarships before each admission round.

Roskilde University states that the tuition fee waivers and scholarships are distributed once a year for the September entry and have a maximum length of 22 months for programmes that start in September. It also states that students must follow the study plan and not be delayed in their studies to maintain the tuition fee waiver and scholarship. Enrolled students cannot re-apply for a tuition fee waiver and scholarship.
