AARHUS EXPENSES

Semester Long Program

Semester program participants must pay tuition to the Office of International Education for each Georgia Tech semester they are abroad. No other expenses associated with this program are paid to GT; instead, these expenses are paid on site.

Keep in mind the costs of books, health insurance, food, living expenses, and travel money, as well as pre-departure costs like your passport and visa. In general, Denmark is more expensive than the United States. Part of Denmark's expensive reputation comes from the VAT (value-added tax) of 25% that is added to everything from hotel stays to purchases in stores. Consult a travel guide to obtain information on the terms and conditions of VAT reimbursement.

The currency of Denmark is the Danish Krone. Exchange rates fluctuate, so check the newspaper or click here for the most current rates.

Please note: The University of Aarhus offers a 1000-Euro travel grant for students from non-European countries. For information about applying for this grant, please visit Aaarhus University`s Grant website.
