Ungdomskort – Public Transport discount

An Ungdomskort provides a daily public transport discount from your residence to the educational institution. Additionally, Ungdomskort offers a number of other advantages. You can use the Ungdomskort to go by bus, train and metro. The Ungdomskort is subject to various conditions depending on whether you are 16-19 years old, a student on a youth education programme or a student in higher education.

Students in higher education

You may obtain an Ungdomskort for a higher education programme if:

  • You follow a higher education programme approved for SU
  • You do not receive any other form of transport subsidy
  • You are studying actively (the educational institution will decide whether the student is studying actively)
  • The education or the education programme is designed as full-time education.

 

Note for students enrolled in Coventry University courses

The IBA’s Coventry University (CU) courses provide English-taught courses while studying in Denmark. Because these courses are accredited by Danish Evaluation Institute (EVA/Danmarks Evalueringsinstitut) and not by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Sciences, students enrolled in CU courses are not eligible for student financial aid (SU) and fall into a category that does not qualify for student discounts on transportation (Ungdomskort). The same also applies to Danish students, enrolled in the CU courses.

 

Important for Non-EU Exchange Students

Non-EU exchange students are not eligible for Ungdomskort. Non-EU students should not apply for an Ungdomskort, as it could lead to residency issues related to public assistance.
