The content of a scholarship varies. In some cases, the scholarship is a full or partly tuition waiver. In other cases, the tuition waiver includes a monthly grant towards living expenses, typically but not always for the duration of your Master’s degree programme.
Some faculties only offer tuition waivers. In this case, the faculty may be able to offer other relevant services to its tuition waiver recipients, e.g. assistance in searching for a relevant student job.
Type of scholarship
In selecting scholarship recipients among the academically qualified applicants, priority will be given to applicants with excellent academic qualifications.
Due to the limited number of scholarships available, we are not able to able to offer a scholarship to all highly qualified applicants, unfortunately.
Typically, only one or two scholarships are offered on each of our Master’s degree programmes. At some faculties, strategic focus may be placed on selected degree programmes or applicants from specific countries.
If you are selected for a scholarship, you will receive a scholarship offer along with your letter of admission in the application system. Please note there will be a very short deadline to accept your possible tuition waiver/scholarship offer.
If you are not selected for a scholarship, you will receive a tuition fee notification instead.
Aarhus University has a limited number of scholarships (100% tuition fee waivers) available.
If you are not selected for a tuition fee waiver when you receive your letter of admission, there is still chance you may be selected for a tuition fee waiver at a later date prior to the acceptance deadline 1 April as the award process continues throughout March.
If you are selected for a tuition waiver, you will be notified directly through the application system. In this case, you will get a very short deadline to accept your tuition waiver offer. You will be informed of your specific deadline.
Please note we have many qualified applicants and no guarantees can be made, unfortunately. Therefore, if your decision is dependent on the tuition fee waiver, you should not decline your offer of admission until the final deadline 1 April (summer admission) or 1 November (winter admission).
If you have not received a tuition waiver offer by 1 April/1 November at the latest, you are required to pay tuition fees at Aarhus University.
When you apply for admission, your application will automatically be assessed with a view to a possible scholarship along with our academic assessment of your qualifications. You should not upload any additional documentation to your application for admission..
The scholarship is connected very specifically to your Master’s degree programme and cannot be transferred to another degree programme at AU.
