The University of Copenhagen Notes of Guidance for Exchange Students
Please note this General Exchange Agreement is only open to Humanities Students. Students who already have a Subject Specific Exchange Agreement in place should apply through this and not through the General Agreement.
Founded in 1479, the University of Copenhagen is one of the oldest universities in northern Europe and has an international reputation for academic excellence. Today, the University of Copenhagen has around 39,000 students and is the largest institution of research and education in Denmark.
Copenhagen is the commercial, cultural and administrative centre of Denmark, and the greater city area has a population of 1.2 million. Although busy, Copenhagen continues to captivate visitors because it has managed to maintain some of its original charm. Copenhagen is world famous for being one of the cleanest, safest and most liveable cities. Denmark is known for modern design and being a “green nation”, as a country of cyclists. The University has four campus areas in Copenhagen.

Is there a compulsory or non- compulsory health insurance scheme? No compulsory scheme as all students staying for more than 3 months are covered by the Danish Health Security Act after they have registered with the citizen’s service. Be aware that the Danish Health Insurance does not cover the costs of medical evacuation back to your home country, emergency repatriation and personal liability.
4 Students who are citizens of other countries than the EU/EEA or Nordic countries need a residence permit to study in Denmark. Along with your letter of admission from University of Copenhagen, you will receive an application form called ST1 as well as instruction on how to apply for the residence permit. You cannot apply for a residence permit until after you have received the letter of admission and the ST1.
If you are an EU/EEA citizen, you will need a residence permit, if you are staying in Denmark for more than three months. The residence permit is issued by Statsforvaltningen (State Administration). To accommodate the large number of international students arriving every semester, staff from Statsforvaltningen will offer their services at the University of Copenhagen on a specific date. Information about when and where will be posted on the notice board on this site.
We hope your stay at your exchange destination will pass without any undue incident with regard to your safety. However, as you will be staying in a different environment and culture, you should be prepared to take necessary precautions if appropriate.
We would advise you to consult with the Study Abroad Office on your arrival and also look at the following website which will give you up-to-date government information on the country you will be visiting.

If you find yourself without any access to cash, without your passport, or in any other serious kind of trouble, the British Consulate will try to help. In the unlikely event of you being arrested for a serious offence, insist on the Consulate being informed; a consular officer who can advise on local procedures etc will contact you as soon as possible.
Please also inform the International Office and your Personal Tutor of any problems relating to your health or safety whilst on your study abroad exchange.
Disability Statement
Some destinations may be more accessible than others for disabled students. If you require any adjustments due to disability or specific learning difficulty and you wish to study abroad please contact the Erasmus Outgoing team in the International Office (Erasmus.outgoing@ed.ac.uk). We will work together with you to explore the help available at your host institution. It might also be helpful if you discuss this with your Personal Tutor and the Disability Office as well.
These notes are for guidance only. We have tried to keep them up to date, but it is very difficult to do so without your input. So, if you can keep notes of any inaccuracies in this information we should be glad to 5
impressions about your stay will also be useful and will help those students who participate in the exchange in future years.
