Erasmus+
This is an Erasmus + agreement. As an Erasmus student, you will be participating in the world’s largest exchange programme and can study at good European universities without paying tuition. Through Erasmus+, you will be given an extra grant that provides more money to enjoy your stay.
Languages
Classes will primarily be in Danish, but there are a number of modules and programmes offered in English. If you are studying in Danish, there are no special language requirements for students whose native language is a Scandinavian language. If you are studying in English, the language requirement is a C1 level.
If you are studying in English, you must take an online language test before you travel, and you will have access to a language course through this service. The Division of Research, Internationalisation and Innovation (AFII) will inform you of this test in advance. If you are doing a course with Danish as the language of instruction, you do not need to take a language test.
Fee
You will not be paying tuition at this institution and will receive the Erasmus+ grant in addition to a grant from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway. You will receive the same financial support from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway as for studies in Norway, in addition to a travel grant. You must pay a semester fee to HVL in order to receive a loan and grant from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway during the exchange period.
Course approval
In order to apply for a student exchange programme, your application must first be approved by the study programme of your faculty. An approved application means that you have been given an academic pre-approval for the course or traineeship you will be doing abroad. The academic pre-approval specifies what you will be doing while you are on an exchange programme and confirms these activities will be fully approved as part of your education plan at HVL.
