After Admission

Offer of study place
On 26 July you will receive an e-mail from The Royal Danish Academy if we offer you a study place. If offered admission, you must accept or decline the offer within a short deadline. You will receive a rejection from den Koordinerede Tilmelding (KOT) if we do not offer you a study place or if you are not accepted to another Danish higher education programme.

Introduction programme and study start

In mid-August you will receive a link to the digital start of studies material. The introduction days will take place at the school in Nexø on Bornholm and will be arranged by the school’s tutors and staff. The intention is to give you the best possible introduction to the school environment, fellow students and to the local surroundings in Nexø and Bornholm. 

Participating in the study start programme is not compulsory, but we recommend that you take part in order to get the best start in your studies.

See the dates for the introduction and study start under Dates and Deadlines in the menu.

Students with special needs
As a student enrolled in a full degree programme at the Royal Danish Academy you can apply for special educational support (SPS)​ if you suffer from a documented impairment and require special support in order to undertake your study. The support will be based on your individual needs and can be aids or different kinds of personal support. Sps is not financial support or treatment.

You must be a Danish citizen, be an EU or EEA citizen, or have the same status as a Danish citizen.

The support is granted by The Danish National Agency for Education and Quality. Read about sps here (in Danish only).

You can apply for the support through the sps counsellor at the Academy Tine Elten, tel@kglakademi.dk, after you have been admitted. 
When applying for sps you must document your impairment, and you will have to sign a consent. Feel free to contact the sps counsellor to hear more about your possibilities.
