VIA University College

VIA University College is one of Denmark's largest professional universities, offering practice-oriented bachelor's and professional master's programs in nursing, social work, education, business, technology, and media. Not included in general QS world rankings, VIA focuses specifically on professional education — producing graduates who enter the Danish labor market directly, rather than research-oriented roles. VIA has campuses in Aarhus, Horsens, Holstebro, Randers, and Viborg — covering central and western Jutland.

For non-EU international students, VIA charges DKK 50,000–75,000/year (approximately $7,500–$11,000) — among the most affordable tuition options in Denmark. VIA offers English-taught programs in international business, applied computer science, and nursing for international students. Graduates benefit from Denmark's shortage of skilled workers in nursing, social work, and engineering technology — high employability on completion. The Aarhus campus (VIA's largest) is in Denmark's second city with a lower cost of living than Copenhagen.
