Admission and documentation requirements
We primarily welcome students from partner institutions
The health programmes at UCN welcome students enrolled in our many partner institutions around the world. You will often be able to study with us through EU's mobility programme Erasmus+ or the Nordic mobility programme Nordplus. Talk to the international office at your home institution to find out, if UCN is a partner.
Not from a partner institution?
Contact us about your possibilities.
Academic match
Your home institution and UCN will carefully evaluate, if UCN's exchange programme matches the academic scope and curriculum of the programme you are enrolled in at home. This evaluation also helps us ensure that each course or activity you complete is eligible for credit at your home institution.
Completed semesters

- Midwifery
We recommend that you have completed at least the first year of a midwifery programme, including a period at a delivery ward. - Occupational therapy

Learning agreement
Your home institution will provide you with the correct learning agreement if one is needed.What is a learning agreement?

MRSA-test
You will need a negative MRSA screening test. You do not need to upload the test as part of your application, but will need to present it at your clinical placement. You must take the test no more than two weeks before you arrive in Denmark.Why must I be tested for MRSA?
During your clinical placement, you will get in touch with patients and health care professionals. MRSA can spread and cause illness in people with weakened immune systems.
→ Help us avoid the spreading of MRSA in hospitals (Information from the Danish Infection Control Team - Region North, Denmark).
Tuition and fees
Exchange students do not have to pay tuition because it is typically an exchange of one or more students between partner universities and/or funded by EU's mobility programme Erasmus+ or the Nordic mobility programme Nordplus.
