Housing guarantee
The University of Southern Denmark generally guarantees housing to all international students*, moving to Denmark to study. If you already live in Denmark when you apply, you are last in line for accommodation.
The housing guarantee only applies to applicants who apply for housing and apply to become a student with a complete application by our housing application deadline May 1/November 1.
*An international student is a student degree student coming to Denmark study a degree offered in English, or an exchange or guest student coming to Denmark to study.
The process is as follows:
- Apply to become a student at the University of Southern Denmark by filling in the relevant application form
- Submit a housing from along with the student application form. Alternatively send the housing form after you have sent in the student application form.
Please note that Housing applications are handled differently in the different campus cities; you therefore need to go to the relevant campus city page.
Note, that housing forms without an accompanying student application form are not processed.
It differs slightly from campus to campus how the housing works. To get all the details, look at the relevant campus.
Student halls are off campus
Danish students live in either private or rented flats, rented rooms, or in student halls (kollegium). International students get a room in student halls or in private rooms. Note that all student halls are off campus. The rooms vary in size and are typically between 10-16 m2. At the student halls, you pay according to the size of the room.
Housing requests
If you wish the University to find accommodation for you, you can note the specific requests you may have regarding which student hall you wish to be placed in. We try to meet the wishes of applicants, but we can unfortunately not guarantee that your wish will be fulfilled.
One student, one room
It is generally not possible for two students to share a room.
Terms
Please note that we only find accommodation for you once. If you decide to extend your stay, you will either have to keep your accommodation or give it up and find something new on your own.
If you leave Denmark for a period of time (eg. sabbatical leave, internship or exchange stay) we do not find new accommodation for you when you return to Denmark. You will then have to find accommodation on your own.
Details of the terms are stated in the relevant application form. Read the terms carefully before signing and sending the accommodation form.
Furniture
Your room will be furnished with a bed, a desk, shelves, chair and a lamp.
Internet access
All housing has internet access – with very few exceptions.
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.
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 theft and burglary.
