Student loans in Denmark

[1] When a student starts at a university or another kind of higher education institution, they are entitled to SU for a maximum of 72 months.

Any higher education student professionally diagnosed with a permanent disability, such as muscular dystrophy, blindness, deafness or autism, can apply for an additional grant of 8,051 DKK (about US$1,364) a month.

The government granted SU loans have to be repaid once a student has graduated.

All education in Denmark ranging from primary school, the Danish equivalent of high school gymnasiums as well as Universities and all other officially recognised forms of higher education are completely free of charge.

However, most Ph.D. candidates are employed by universities as researchers, and thus receive a fixed salary.
