You can study marketing in Denmark at bachelor and master level. Most programmes are taught in English and are offered by public universities. Admissions are handled by each university and you start by checking the programme page.
Study levels and programmes
Denmark offers two main levels for marketing studies.
- Bachelor - three years full‑time. You learn basics of market research, digital media and consumer behaviour.
- Master - two years full‑time after a relevant bachelor. You specialise in areas such as brand management, data analytics or international marketing.
Both levels have English‑taught options. Use the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science website to find the full list of programmes.

Common questions
Do I need a visa?
EU/EEA citizens do not need a visa to study in Denmark. Non‑EU citizens need a student residence permit. Apply after you receive an acceptance letter and check the Danish Immigration Service for the exact steps.
Can I work while studying?
Yes. EU/EEA students can work without a permit. Non‑EU students may work up to 20 hours per week during the semester and full time in the summer, provided their residence permit allows it.
How are scholarships handled?
Denmark offers a limited number of scholarships for non‑EU students. They are awarded directly by the university or by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education. Look for “scholarships” on the programme page and follow the application instructions there.
