Application procedure
Find the appropriate application, fill it in, submit it electronically as well as print and mail it with the requested enclosures to the International Office. Please note, AAU has an application fee for full degree students from outside EU/EEA. The application fee will be refunded if you are admitted and start at the programme you have been admitted to. See details here.

Tuition Fees
Full-time students at this programme who are not nationals of an EU/EEA country will be charged tuition fee of DKK 50000 per term (2010 level). Non-EU/ EEA students with a permanent residence permit for Denmark are exempted from tuition fees.

Aalborg University does, however, grant a few tuition waivers and scholarships to non-EU/EEA students. For the September 2009 intake, 22 tuition waivers and scholarships were granted for the entire university.

Scholarships
As mentioned above, Aalborg University has only a very limited number of tuition waivers and scholarships available. Students cannot apply for these but will be nominated by Aalborg University when applying. The likelihood of obtaining a scholarship is far higher in other places - e.g. through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Education in the student's home country.

Americans may try the Gudrun Gytel Fund.
