Why not spend a semester as an Exchange student in Denmark at Dania Academy? From the academic year 2023-24, Dania Academy international campus in the city of Viborg welcomes exchange students in two exchange programs: Marketing Management and IT Technology. In both programs, the 3rd semester, taking place in the fall, is open to incoming students. We share our Viborg Campus with VIA University College, which means that there's a lively Erasmus student community on campus and in the nearby dorms.
As an Exchange student at Dania, you have the opportunity to study Marketing Management and IT-Technology, both programs offered in the fall.
In our undergraduate Marketing Management Programme, we welcome exchange students in the fall semester of the second year. This semester is taught in English, and you will study together with Danish full-time students and other exchange students. The programme modules include Internationalization, Business Lab, Sustainability Marketing, and Data Analysis.
In our undergraduate IT Technology Programme, we welcome exchange students in the fall semester of the second year. This semester is taught in English, and you will study together with Danish full-time students and other exchange students. The IT Technology Exchange programme includes two modules: Cyber Security and Employability.

As an exchange student you must attend all subjects of the semester(s) you are enrolled into.
This is due to our multidisciplinary and group-work oriented approach to teaching.
You must take all exams, tests and projects of the semester(s) you are enrolled into on the same terms as full-time students.
All absence from classes is registered (this is also the case for our full-time students). We expect students to attend all classes, and if we notice that your absence is becoming critical, we reserve the right to contact your home institution. Absence from class will reduce your chance of passing exams. Too much absence may also result in extra written assignments.
As an Exchange student you will be treated the same way as our full-time international students. You must not expect special treatment. In other words, you will be fully integrated in your class. You will be in one of our international classes with many different nationalities, and everything will take place in English. We will of course o our best to get you integrated as quickly as possible, and for that reason an exchange buddy among your classmates will be appointed to help you get settled.
If you are an EU/EEA citizen, you must apply for an EU-residence permit in the city of Aarhus. The Academy will assist you in this upon your arrival here. When you have received your permit you must register with the city authorities in Randers or Viborg after which you will be covered by the Danish public health insurance.
If you are a Non-EU student, the Academy will electronically send you a visa application form and a letter of confirmation, together with instructions regarding applying online for a visa. Upon arrival you must register with the authorities in Randers or Viborg after which you will be covered by the Danish public health insurance. Please note that the embassy demands a fee of EUR 248 for processing your visa application.

Students from EU countries are covered by the Danish National Health Service when they have registered with the municipality and received a CPR number.
If you bring a European Health Insurance Card in your home country, you will have 3 months of medical coverage without registering with the municipality.
Non-EU students are covered by the Danish National Health Service when they have registered with the municipality and received a CPR number. For the period until then, they are only covered for accident, childbirth, acute illness or sudden aggravation of a chronic disease. Therefore we recommend that they have private medical insurance covering the period of their stay.

In general, it is the student's own responsibility to have the correct insurances. We recommend a general travel insurance since we, as a university, do not cover you for any insurances.
Please note that the Danish National Health coverage does not cover the costs of medical repatriation, which would be necessary if you were involved in an accident and wanted to spend a period of prolonged recovery at home.
It is recommended that international students take out liability insurance as well as insurance against accidents and theft. it is especially recommended that you check the coverage in case of accidents during practical exercises and other activities related to your studies.
At our academy you will be in an international environment, and you will be able to get easily by with English, both at the academy and outside. The general level of English in Denmark is very high and you will only rarely meet Danes who cannot communicate in English. However, to better understand our culture and also as an efficient ice breaker, we recommend that you take language classes during your stay. The academy does not offer such courses, but the local language centre, run by the city, offers Danish courses. City of Randers: Language Center Randers. City of Viborg: Language Center Viborg. Please note that you must pay an EUR 270 Deposit to attend Danish classes, and that you will get back the deposit only if you pass the firste module exam.
If you have only bought a ticket for Copenhagen or Århus, it is important that you bring either cash (Danish Kroner – DKK) or a credit card to purchase your train or bus trip to Randers or Viborg. Please note that train tickets can usually be bought on board the train, but it is normally much more expensive than buying them at the station. At Copenhagen Airport there is a direct train service to Randers. If you are going to Viborg, expect to change trains once or twice. You can buy tickets at the airport. If you arrive at Aarhus Airport, there is a bus service to Randers (bus No 212). If you arrive at Karup Airport, there a bus service to Viborg.
In general the following site is very good for planning trips in Denmark: http://www.rejseplanen.dk/ (English language is offered). When you arrive, a fellow student will meet you and take you to the dormitory, if possible. Please inform the Head of International Mobility of you time and place of arrival.
Please note that it may be difficult to get in contact with the Erasmus Officer at the academy during the month of July. The email response time may be up to two weeks.
If you are suffering from a disability, please contact Flemming Andersen (fka@eadania.dk) for information about our facilities. We will do our best to accommodate your special needs.
Campus Viborg: There are dormitories next to Campus Viborg, so most students have only 2-3 minutes to the academy or to the International Student Centre. The dormitory is run by an independent, private housing company. As an exchange student, you are guaranteed a room. You can choose between a single room or a shared room (with separate bedrooms). You do not need to apply for a room. We will give the dormitory a list of incoming students, and the dormitory will contact you in due time. For more information on the rooms, please contact institutional Erasmus Coordinator Flemming andersen at fka@eadania.dk.

As all other higher-education institutions in Denmark, Dania uses ECTS points to describe the workload necessary for an average student to obtain the learning objectives given for any subject, course or education.
A full year’s workload corresponds to 60 ECTS points, which in Denmark equals 1650 hours, and the ECTS points are allocated by estimating the time a student is expected to spend, i.e. all the time included in class-room teaching, project work, assignments, internships, self study, exams and more.
See an explanation of the Danish 7-point grading scale here.
