1. University of Copenhagen (KU)
Overview:
The University of Copenhagen is Denmark’s largest and oldest university, welcoming 1,500+ visiting researchers and PhD students every year. Visiting positions exist in every faculty—Science, Health, Law, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology—plus many interdisciplinary research centers.
Who qualifies?
• Visiting scholars: PhD holders, postdocs, professors, and sometimes advanced PhD students.
• Visiting PhD students: Must be enrolled at an external university and have a KU faculty sponsor.
Application & Conditions:
• You must contact a faculty member in your target department first; cold applications are ignored.
• Once accepted, you’ll receive an invitation letter (needed for visa/work permit).
• No tuition is charged, but no automatic salary/stipend—you need external funding (grant, home university, national scholarship, or personal funds).
• Proof of sufficient funds is required for residence permits (roughly DKK 12,770/month for singles).
Duration:
• Visiting researchers: Up to 3 years (extendable in rare cases).
• Visiting PhD: Usually 6–24 months, but can be shorter.
Fees:
• No tuition or “bench fee” charged to visiting scholars.
• No housing is guaranteed; university can help with Carlsberg Foundation apartments (for long stays), but demand is huge and prices are high (DKK 6,000–8,000/month).
Regulations:
• EU/EEA/Swiss nationals: No visa needed for stays <90 days; longer stays require CPR registration (gives access to Danish public healthcare).
• Non-EU: Need residence/work permit (handled via the university’s HR).
• For visits >90 days, you must register with the Danish Civil Registration System (CPR) for health insurance and banking.
Support & Facilities:
• Full access to library, labs, office space (varies by faculty), university IT, and sometimes teaching opportunities.
• International Staff Mobility Office supports with visas, relocation, childcare, and tax advice.
Departmental specifics:
• Health/Medical Sciences: Lab-based research requires health and safety training; strict background checks for clinical access.
• Humanities/Social Sciences: More likely to offer desk and library access, but little to no funding.
• Science/Engineering: Departments expect proof of external research funding (Marie Curie, ERC, Fulbright, etc.).
• Some faculties may require proof of insurance or English/Danish proficiency.
Bottom line:
You need a willing host, your own funding, and paperwork game on point. If you have a strong research profile and a good match, KU is generous with access and resources, but you must hustle for your living costs.
2. Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
Overview:
DTU is Denmark’s premier technical and engineering university, known globally for cutting-edge research in engineering, natural sciences, nanotech, sustainability, IT, and life sciences. The campus is modern, English is common, and international research culture is strong.
Who qualifies?
• Visiting scholars: Professors, postdocs, PhD holders, and advanced PhD students.
• Guest PhD students: Must be enrolled elsewhere, have a DTU supervisor, and a solid research plan.
Application & Conditions:
• Start by contacting a DTU faculty member—most visiting positions are built on personal/institutional networks.
• Once you have a supervisor and your plan is accepted, you’ll get a formal invitation letter (crucial for visa/work permit).
• No tuition/bench fees for research visitors, but no DTU funding—you need to bring your own salary, grant, or scholarship (Marie Curie, ERC, home institution, etc.).
• You must document sufficient finances (as per Danish law: ~DKK 12,770/month for singles).
Duration:
• Most visits last from 3 months up to 3 years. Shorter technical visits (<90 days) possible, but real research impact means staying 6–24 months.
Fees:
• No tuition or departmental fees.
• Lab and equipment access is generally free for guests, but consumables and some technical services may need separate negotiation/funding.
Regulations:
• EU/EEA/Swiss: No visa needed for ≤90 days; longer = CPR registration (access to public health care, banking).
• Non-EU: Work/residence permit needed, applied for with help from DTU HR and your host.
• Must register with Danish Civil Registration if staying >3 months (gives you health insurance, etc.).
Support & Facilities:
• DTU Corporate HR and International Staff Mobility Office help with visas, move-in, accommodation tips (but no guarantee of housing).
• Office/lab space is usually available, and you get full access to university facilities, library, sports, and networking events.
• Housing: Campus Village and dorms possible, but high demand and often waitlists.
Departmental specifics:
• Engineering/Technical Sciences: Lab safety training required. DTU is strict about HSE (Health, Safety, Environment).
• Life Sciences/Chemical Engineering: You must show proof of training, insurance, and sometimes vaccination (esp. for bio labs).
• Computing/IT: Mostly desk-based; remote work sometimes possible, but in-person collaboration preferred.
Bottom line:
DTU is open and international, but there’s zero hand-holding—get your own funding, build a real collaboration, and expect to arrange a lot of logistics yourself.
3. Aarhus University (AU)

Application & Conditions:
• Find an AU host (professor or research group leader) in your field and co-design a visit plan.
• Apply for “Guest Researcher” or “Visiting PhD” status through your host and the International Centre.
• No tuition or bench fee. All funding must be external (grants, salary, or stipends from home university, Fulbright, Erasmus+, etc.).
• Document financial self-support (at least DKK 12,770/month).
Duration:
• Typical visits are 6–24 months for research visitors, but can range from a few weeks (Erasmus+ short stays) to max 3 years.
Fees:
• No tuition, but living in Aarhus is expensive (expect 6,000–10,000 DKK/month for rent and expenses).

Departmental specifics:
• Health Sciences: Compliance with local ethics and patient protection is strict—advance approval needed for any clinical research.
• Natural Sciences: Lab-based research is prioritized; safety/chemical training required.
• Arts/Social Sciences: Desk and archival access standard, but you arrange your own research costs.
Bottom line:
AU is extremely welcoming, but will not pay you or fund your stay. They’ll give you full institutional backing—if you show up with funding and a clear plan, you’ll get access to all the resources you need.
4. University of Southern Denmark (SDU)

• For visiting PhDs: No formal SDU enrollment, but you must provide research plan and funding proof.
• No tuition or bench fees, no stipend, no guaranteed accommodation—all self-arranged.
• Must prove sufficient finances (DKK 12,770+/month) for the visa/residence process.
Duration:
• Most visits: 3–6 months (PhDs), sometimes longer (up to 12–24 months for research collaborators).
• Short stays (<90 days) can be visa-free (EU/EEA), but still need a host.
Fees:
• No fees. You pay your own living costs (housing, insurance, etc.), and housing is tight—university may offer tips but not guarantees.
Regulations:
• EU/EEA/Swiss: ≤90 days = no paperwork; >3 months = CPR registration for health care.
• Non-EU: Work/residence permit mandatory; handled with department’s help, but you provide documents and funding evidence.
Support & Facilities:
• SDU provides access to libraries, labs, and academic events. Some departments help with office space and local integration.
• International Staff Office can advise on permits and practicalities, but limited help on housing.
Departmental specifics:
• Engineering/Science: Access to labs subject to safety clearance and insurance.
• Health: Clinical/biomedical work is possible, but expect strict compliance rules and longer approval times.
• Humanities/Social Sciences: Library and seminar access is standard, but research funding is always on you.
Bottom line:
SDU offers great research environments but expects visiting scholars to arrive financially and logistically independent. If you come prepared, you’ll get professional support and all the facilities you need.
