Scholarships
The Royal Danish Academy is not able to offer any scholarships or other types of financial support.

Brexit
As a result of the exit, applicants from the UK are now considered non-EU nationals and are therefore required to pay tuition fees.

The Withdrawal Agreement ensures that UK nationals residing legally in Denmark before 1 January 2021 will maintain their rights and priveleges as EU citizens and will not be eligible to pay tuition fee at the Academy.

UK nationals residing legally in another EU country by 1 January 2021 may also be eligible for a tuition fee waiver. Please enquire with Admissions.
