The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is offering Danish Government Scholarships for Pakistani and other international students seeking admission to selected Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs for the September 2027 intake.
According to the university’s official scholarship announcement, selected students can receive full tuition-fee waivers for the standard duration of their degree programs.
The scholarships are available to academically qualified applicants from countries outside the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).
Eligible programs include Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Computer Science.
The scholarships are offered at the university’s Sønderborg and Vejle campuses. Successful Master’s students can receive tuition-fee coverage for up to two years, while eligible Bachelor’s students can receive support for up to three years.
However, the scholarships do not provide a monthly living allowance. Students must arrange separate funding for accommodation, food, transportation, and other living expenses.
Interested candidates do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. The university will automatically consider eligible applicants who apply for admission to the relevant programmes.
The application deadline is February 1, 2027, for Master’s programmes and March 15, 2027, for Bachelor’s program.

Scholarship Benefits and Tuition Coverage
The university’s main Danish Government Scholarship announcement describes the award as a full tuition-fee waiver for the standard duration of the relevant degree.
The waiver covers a normal academic workload of 30 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits per semester.
Students taking additional courses beyond 30 ECTS in a semester may have to pay the fees associated with those extra credits.
Recipients must also maintain satisfactory academic progress to retain their scholarship.
The university normally expects students to complete 30 ECTS credits each semester.
Students who fail to meet the required academic progress conditions may lose scholarship support for the following semester.
SDU’s separate Bachelor’s scholarship guidance also allows for full or partial tuition waivers. Applicants should therefore confirm the exact coverage stated in their individual scholarship offers.

The scholarships are available to highly qualified international students from non-EU and non-EEA countries.
