The page is continuously updated with relevant information for persons from Ukraine who wish to reside in Denmark or who are in Denmark.

Please check the current rules for residence permit in Denmark on New to Denmark.
RESIDENCE PERMIT AND STUDYING IN DENMARK
A residence permit under the Special Act as this will give you the same rights as Danish students, i.e. you will not have to pay any application or tuition fees, and you will be able to apply for the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme (SU) to get a monthly financial aid.
You do not need a Danish residence permit to be able to apply to CBS or to look into the possibility of studying at CBS.
However, you do need a Danish residence permit to be exempt from tuition fees and to be able to apply for SU.
CBS has adapted special procedures for Ukrainian citizens who would like to apply to a master’s programme at CBS. However, we are not allowed to depart from any rules and regulations about fulfilling the entry and language requirements.
If you are a Ukrainian citizen and have left Ukraine on 24 February 2022 or later, this means that:
- You will be able to apply outside normal deadlines, but no later than 31 May
- You will be exempt from paying the application fee
- We will process your application as quickly as possible
You will still need to:
- Fulfil all entry requirements
- Fulfil the language requirement
- Undergo selection for a study place at the programme if you are qualified for admission
If you have a residence permit under the Special Act, you will furthermore be:
- Exempt from paying the tuition fees
- Able to apply for the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme (SU) to get monthly financial aid.
If you are considering a master’s programme at CBS, here are the steps to take:
- Consider which programme(s) may be relevant for you
- Contact us with the relevant information
1. FIND THE RIGHT PROGRAMME FOR YOU
We recommend that you look into the different programmes and read more about the courses they offer to make sure that this is the right programme for your interests and future career.
On cbs.dk, you can find a list of all master’s programmes at CBS.
Please note that CBS usually has a lot more applicants than available study places. This means that it may be difficult to get in to the study programmes unless you have a strong background within business administration.
Talk to a student guidance counsellor at CBS
You are very welcome to contact one of our student guidance counsellors to discuss what options you have at CBS according to your educational background, interests and dreams.

If you think that CBS may not be the best match for your interests and qualifications, you can contact the central Danish office for Study and Career Guidance. They have an overview of the different educational options available at other universities in Denmark, including those with available places and can help you identify master’s programmes suitable for your qualifications and interests.
