I. Accommodation
Danish universities basically do not provide on-campus dormitories, so they can choose to rent a house or apply for a host family. Of course, there are differences in prices between different cities, so your part of the expenses should be prepared according to the city where your school is located.
If you rent a house, if the city is relatively large, the monthly rent is about 5,000 yuan, and the medium-sized city is about 4,000 yuan a month; However, for families that provide boarding, the difference is not great. Generally, it costs 5000 yuan to live alone for a month, and if you need catering service, you need to pay extra.
Second, catering.
If you want to save trouble, you can go directly to the canteen to eat. The price of the finished package is generally around 30 yuan, and a maximum of 100 yuan per day is enough. The canteen will be safe, so you don't have to worry about hygiene and clean it yourself.
If you are going to cook by yourself, you must know the price first. Noodles and bread are staple foods, about 1kg 10 yuan, potatoes 1kg 5 yuan, beef 1kg60 yuan, and various common vegetables 1kg 10 yuan, so that everyone can buy ingredients/kloc-0 a month.
Third, travel.
The ways you can choose for daily travel are basically the same as those in China. Subway and bus are more suitable for students. If you buy a ticket directly, you need to buy it in two districts, probably around 20 yuan, so it is convenient to get a card that can be exchanged.
According to the general choice of student accommodation, it will be around the school, and the distance will not be particularly far, so it is basically enough to prepare for 400 yuan in one month. Of course, if you live near the school, you can walk to and from class.
Fourth, shopping.
Finally, the shopping budget, although it will be affected by the consumption level, but the basic expenses are the same for everyone, daily necessities need to be purchased regularly, and this part needs about 500 yuan a month.
Other expenses include buying clothes and socializing. There is a difference in price and frequency. For most students, they will consider saving money, so a monthly budget of 2,000 yuan is generally enough.

I. Main types
1. government scholarship
This is the main scholarship that international students from non-EU countries can apply for. Under the unified leadership of the government, colleges and universities manage, review and distribute them, and international students can apply directly to the relevant departments of the school.

2. Erasmus scholarship
Scholarships for international students in EU member countries are basically established in all member countries, and scholarships are established by domestic schools and cooperative institutions in other countries.
Scholarships are only open to master students, and there are certain restrictions on majors. The materials you need to provide should be based on the results of research or experiment, and pay more attention to the students' strength.
3. National Scholarships
