GENERAL LIVING EXPENSES
Exchange students must have sufficient funds to cover their living expenses while studying in Denmark. In 2008 living expenses for the average student in main cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus are about DKK 6,000 per month (including housing) (app. EUR 800).HOUSING
Exchange students are automatically signed up for the housing programme when they have filled in the On-line registration form before the deadline.Cost
/ The cost for housing will not exceed DKK 15,000 (EUR 2,000) per semesterType
/ Like other educational institutions in Denmark, the ASB has no on-campus accommodation facilities. More than 90 per cent of the rooms available within our housing programme are located in so-called "kollegier" or halls of residence with usually 12-14 students living on each floor. Each student has his/her own room of 10-15 squaremeters. Almost all rooms have their own bathrooms and toilets. Up to 10 per cent of the housing is private accommodation in an apartment or in part of a house.COURSES

INSURANCE
Health Insurance
If you are staying in Denmark for at least three months, you are automatically included in the Danish Health Insurance Scheme which gives you the right to free medical treatment by doctors and in hospitals. Please note however that you MUST take up insurance to cover for dental expenses and expenses regarding transportation to your native country in case of illness, as these expenses are not covered by the Danish Health Insurance Scheme. If you are a non-European student, you MUST ensure coverage of medical expenses up to 6 weeks after arrival as you are only covered by the Danish Health Insurance Scheme after a 6 weeks quarantine period.
Liability and Homeinsurance
You must take out a third party liability insurance and a home insurance to cover household effects and personal belongings.
RESIDENCE PERMIT
All students studying in Denmark for more than 3 months need a residence permit. However, only non-European students need to obtain a residence permit before coming to Denmark. All other students apply for a residence permit after having arrived in Denmark.
NON-EUROPEAN STUDENTS
Once you have been accepted at ASB, the form for residence permit and a letter of acceptance will be sent to you. Fill in the form and send the form and your letter of acceptance to your local Danish embassy or consulate. The application procedure may take more than 2 months.
