Under the authorities’ current guidelines for travel to Denmark, you can travel to Denmark in order to study. However, in order to enter the country, you must be travelling from a country that is not classified ‘red’ in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark’s travel advisories. 

If you are travelling from a land categorised as ‘orange’, ‘yellow’ or ‘green’, you may enter the country (For orange it is necessary that the educational institution that you are attending is open and requires that you are physically present to attend courses or exams that take place on campus. If all your courses and exams are delivered online, you will not be allowed to enter.)

Please note that it is important that you familiarise yourself with the Danish authorities’ guidelines on the terms and conditions of entry, as additional restrictions and requirements regarding entry into Denmark may apply for certain categories: https://en.coronasmitte.dk/rules-and-regulations/entry-into-denmark

For non-EU students applications for student residence permit is now possible again. 

At Aarhus University, we are not in a position to predict how the situation will develop, and unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that it will be possible for you to travel to Denmark in the autumn. This means that the decision on whether to plan on studying at Aarhus University this autumn is up to you.

All persons entering Denmark are currently required by law to be tested and subsequently isolate for 10 days. The isolation may be broken off after a negative PCR test taken no earlier than on the fourth day after entry.

Please read this information carefully before you plan your travels to Denmark.

This will change for some countries after 21 April.

From 21 April it depends on the categorisation of your home country:

If you are travelling from a land categorised as ‘orange’, ‘you will have to selfisolate - like written above. If you are travelling from a land categorised as ‘green’ or ‘yellow’ you do not need to self-isolate. 

It’s important that you familiarise yourself with the Danish authorities’ guidelines on the terms and conditions of entry: https://en.coronasmitte.dk/rules-and-regulations/entry-into-denmark 

Self-isolation means that you stay at home as much as possible and do not go anywhere where you may infect others.

Please keep a minimum of 2 meters distance from everyone to the extent that it is possible.

You need to stay in your room or apartment as much as possible. If you live in a dormitory room with shared kitchen and/or bathroom, please clean surface areas (tap, sink, toilet, toilet seat, etc.) after each use.

Make sure that you follow the Danish Health Authority's guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus (please see below).

Grocery shopping and delivery is available through a variety of online supermarkets. 

Please wear a face mask if you have to break your self-isolation - e.g. if you need to go to for a COVID-19 test.

Physical presence at AU is required. We expect that classes in Autumn will be conducted as a combination of online teaching and physical attendance.
