How to register for our 1-year film programme

Below is all the information you need in order to sign up. But please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. EFC has one annual 1-year programme, starting end August and running until early May.

REGISTRATION CRITERIA

There are only two formal criteria for acceptance at European Film College: you must be at least 18 years old and you must be able to follow lectures and do assignments in English (which is also why your CV and motivation have to be in English).

We are, however, also bound by the Danish folk high school law to always have at least 50% Danish students at all times, and we aim to have an even distribution of gender as well as diversity in terms of interests, nationality and cultural background.

Due to our legal obligation to have a certain amount of Danish students, we have a registration window with a deadline - and about 6 weeks after the deadline, you will know if there is a spot open for you (mid May).

You sign up here.

REGISTRATION DEADLINES

DANISH CITIZENS

The registration deadline for the 2021-22 programme is April 1st 2021. Our registration form is now open. This is if you wish to be considered in the first round of registrations (you can apply after April 1st, but it may be for the waiting list).

NON-DANISH CITIZENS

The registration deadline for the 2021-22 programme is April 1st 2021. This is if you wish to be considered in the first round of registrations (you can still apply after April 1st, but then it may be for the waiting list).

VISA STUDENTS

If you come from a country, where a full visa is required in order to enter Denmark, the deadline for applying is February 1st 2021. This is due to long processing times at the Danish Immigration Service. See below whether you need a full visa to enter Denmark.

AFTER SIGNING UP

Everyone signing up before the deadline will receive an answer by mid May 2021.

If you are accepted, you will need to make a pre-payment by June 10th 2021 in order to keep your spot:

DKK 5,000 (pre-payment)
DKK 100 (administration fee)
TOTAL DKK 5,100

If you keep your spot, the DKK5000 will be deducted from your total payment when you enter the school (see tuition fees below).

CANCELLATION

Please note that if you cancel your spot after July 10th 2021, you lose your prepayment.

Permit and Visa

European Film College accepts film students from all over the world. There are, however, different requirements, depending on your citizenship. Please note that we will guide you, but YOU are the one responsible for applying correctly for a visa.

Scandinavian citizenship

You do not need a visa to study at European Film College. You just need to be registered at the municipality, which we will help you to do after you arrive at European Film College.

Citizens within the European Union

You will need a residence permit to study at European Film College, but not until 3 months after your entry into Denmark.

If you are accepted at European Film College, the office will get in contact with you after your arrival and guide you through the procedures.

Citizens from outside the EU

As a rule, most citizens outside the European Union will need a full visa before they enter Denmark. If that is the case, you need to apply for our film foundation programme by February 1st, so you have time to process your visa and residence permit. We will guide you through the procedures.

HOWEVER, there are quite a few exceptions to this rule, so If you are in any doubt as to whether you need a visa, don't hesitate to contact our Admissions Manager, Susanne Brandt by e-mail.

Please note that if you do need a residence permit before entering Denmark, there is an additional cost for the Danish Immgration Service (app. DKK2400).

National Danish Health Insurance

When your residence permit/registration is final (this can take up to a few months after your arrival at the college), you will receive a Danish health insurance card and are hereafter covered by the Danish National Health Insurance up until your departure.

However, you are not covered until your residence permit is confirmed. If you are a EU citizen, you will therefore need to bring your blue EU health insurance card, and if you are not a EU citizen, you will need to make sure to take out a private health insurance to make sure that you are covered in case of illness until your residence permit is final. If you do not do this, you will have to pay for any contact you may have with the Danish health care system.
