How this directory works

One official source

Programmes and institutions come from the Study in Denmark register, the official portal of the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science. Each page links to the institution's own programme page.

Gaps are stated, not filled

Where the register has no fee, deadline or credit figure for a programme, the page says "not recorded". A missing fee is never shown as free.

No placement for money

Programmes are listed because they are in the register, not because an institution paid. Institutions are ordered by a method we state on the ranking pages.
