How much does Danish Folk High School cost?
Our prices are very transparent. When the tuition is payed, you only need to bring money for doing laundry (20 kr. per wash), if you want to buy extra materials (ie. 100 DKK for 10 kg’s of clay), and pocket money for stuff like ice cream or a beer.
About buying materials: For all classes, you will get the needed materials to complete the classes. If you decide to print 500 big prints in photography, you will need to buy those, if you decide to make the world’s largest gold chain in jewellery class, you will need to buy the gold yourself.
You pay DKK 2050 (EUR 275) per week you are here in 2025.
You pay DKK 2250 (EUR 310) per week you are here in 2026.
In case you need a visa to enter Denmark, you will also have to pay the visa fee of EUR 270 (not to us, but to the Danish government). Please remember it can take up to two months to obtain a visa to Denmark. We will help you with this.

If you are a Danish citizenship you get a discount, this might seem a little unfair, but it has to do with the law only allowing us to accept one international student pr. one Danish student. So for every Danish students we can attract early with a discount, we can accept an international student from our international waiting list.
If you choose to take a second semester, you also get a discount as an international student, for the second semester you only pay EUR 277 pr. week in 2026.
Payment terms: After registration, a confirmation of your sign-up and a Payment Letter (an invoice) will be sent within 14 days.

When we initiate your visa application, we will send you a Letter of Admission, which includes a receipt confirming full payment.

In case you cancel your stay less than 40 days before the course start date, you will be charged for 3 weeks in addition to the handling fee of 400 EUR. In the rare case your visa application is denied, we will refund you in full, minus the handling fee of 400 EUR.
