Who must pay an application fee

As of the September 2026 intake, applicants who are non-EU/EEA citizens must pay an application fee of EUR 200.

The application fee must be paid before the application deadline for º£½ÇÉçÇø to process your application. The deadline is 15 March at 12 noon (CET). 

Important to know

• You only pay the application fee once, regardless of how many programmes you apply for at º£½ÇÉçÇø per enrollment. If you apply the following year again you must pay the fee again. 
• If you have already paid the application fee in connection with a pre-assessment, you do not need to pay again.

How to pay the application fee

To pay the application fee, you must:

1. Go to and pay 200 EUR (credit card payments only)
2. Upload the payment receipt (NETS receipt) to your application on www.optagelse.dk – no later than 15 March at 12 noon (CET)

It is your responsibility to ensure that the receipt is uploaded on time. Without proof of payment, º£½ÇÉçÇø cannot process your application.

Exemption from the application fee

You may be exempt from paying the application fee if you hold either:

• a permanent Danish residence permit, or
• a residence permit that exempts you from application and/or tuition fees

• a Danish qualifying exam does not automatically exempt you from paying tuition fees.
• an IB Diploma or IB Certificate completed in Denmark does not count as a Danish qualifying exam for fee exemption purposes.

How to document exemption

If you claim exemption, you must upload the following to www.optagelse.dk before 15 March at 12 noon (CET):

• a scan of your residence permit (front and back), and
• the decision letter stating the legal basis of the permit.

If your residence permit does not qualify for exemption, º£½ÇÉçÇø will contact you with instructions for payment.
