Study climate change in Denmark - apply for a COP15 Climate Scholarship

Climate change is one of the major challenges that our world faces today. In December 2009, Denmark will host the United Nations Climate Change Summit. To emphasise the importance of sustainable climate solutions, the Danish government is now launching the ‘COP15 Climate Scholarship’ for highly qualified students. The scholarships, which cover both tuition fees and living expenses, are made available for a range of excellent two-years Master’s programmes, including MSc programmes in wind energy, environmental engineering or sustainable energy planning.

Background

In line with the overall aim of securing a climate friendly Climate Conference, the Danish Government has decided not to give any gifts or conference-kits for COP15 participants. The resources saved is instead used to create the ‘COP15 Climate Scholarship’, which gives a number of international students the opportunity to pursue a masters degree within climate change studies at a university in Denmark.

How to apply

Applications are made directly to the university. When you apply for a masters programme, you should indicate your interest in applying for the COP15 Climate Scholarship. The following master programmes are available under the scholarship programme.

Please note the deadline at the beginning of March 2009.
