The part-time programmes offered as Continuing Education are subject to tuition fees. The tuition fee covers teaching, tutoring and examination (max. three attempts per exam).

When you read about the programmes and modules/courses on our website, you will notice that two forms of tuition fee are listed: a tuition fee for Danish citizens and citizens from an EU or EEA country, and a tuition fee for citizens from other countries. This is due to the fact that the University receives state subsidies for Danish citizens and citizens from an EU/EEA country but not for citizens from other countries.

EU citizens

EEA citizens

EEA citizens are citizens from Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland.

Nationals of Switzerland are covered by the same rules as EU and EEA citizens.
