As a student who wants to apply for a higher level of education in Denmark, you need to know all about the study intakes and deadlines in case you miss anything. Starting from the very basics, there are two intakes for international students in Denmark.

Autumn Intake
In Denmark, the autumn intake is the primary and major intake for enrolling international students in higher education, whether bachelor's or master's degrees. Almost all of the available courses are offered by all of the universities in this intake. Here is a simple timeline for you to follow to be prepared for the autumn intake:

Timeline and To Do List

• July: Shortlist the universities that you want to apply to.
• August: Prepare for tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or GRE according to the requirements of the university to which you wish to apply.
• September to November: Prepare your statement of purpose (SOP). Applications to universities are open, so start applying.
• Mid January: Application Deadline
• March to June: Wait for an offer letter. Accept the offer.
• Early May: Apply for a visa.
• August: Book your ticket.
• September: Semester starts.

Spring Intake
In Denmark, the spring intake is regarded as the secondary intake for enrolling international students in higher education levels. Classes for the spring semester begin in January. However, all of the courses might not be available for this intake at some Swedish universities. The spring/January intake provides an excellent opportunity for students who were unable to enroll in new courses during the autumn or September intakes to do so without wasting an entire year.
Here is a simple timeline for you to follow to be prepared for the spring intake:
