Below you will find general information concerning accommodation. You should select your relevant campus at the menu to the left to find specific accommodation information regarding your campus.
You should begin to search for accommodation a long time before you arrive, as it can be difficult to find suitable accommodation before the beginning of a semester. At the University of Southern Denmark we do our very best to help and ensure that all our international students get accommodation.
The terms for housing differ slightly from campus to campus. To get all the details, look at the relevant campus (on your left hand side).
Contents insurance
In Denmark you are expected to have contents insurance. If you choose not to take out insurance for your housing, you should be aware that there is no coverage for you in case of burglary or fire.
Accommodation Fraud
Studystart is unfortunately the peak season for accommodation fraudsters who are ingeniously and creatively trying to scam the property seekers with fake ads, money under the table or accommodation they do not own.
We strongly advise to use the accommodation offers that the University of Southern Denmark provides. If you, however, decide to seek accommodation on your own, please keep these guidelines in mind:
- Please be aware of unrealistic cheap accommodation offers in comparison to other accommodation offers in the neighbourhood
- Never pay money under the table in order to move up in the queue. It is illegal and you have no legal possibility to have your money back.
- We strongly advise against using Western Union or other online payment services as your payment is untraceable and there is no possibility for you to have your money back.
- Never pay rent or deposit upfront before having seen the accommodation
Licence fee
In Denmark every household has to pay a media licence if the house hold has any electric appliances such as TV, radio, video, DVD, computer with internet access, mobile phone or similar electronic devices that work as a television or radio receiver.
As a student in Denmark with your own room, you will be a household. You should therefore expect to have to pay this fee while you are Denmark. You pay approximately DKK 196 per month or 1176 per 6 months.
