Denmark education market profile

Scandinavia is one of the top-performing student recruitment regions in Europe for Australia.

In 2007, the Danish Government passed a new law introducing an international scholarship making it more financially viable for Danish students to study overseas. 

The international scholarship is available for international tertiary studies. There are also extensive bilateral education links between Australian and Danish tertiary institutions. An Austrade-Australia Education International (AEI) agreement is in place to support continued growth in this sector.
