  • Age Requirement (18–28 Years) — You must be within this specific age range at the time of your application.
  • Active Student Status at a Top-Ranked University — You must be currently enrolled at a top-ranked, officially recognized and accredited public university in your home country at a relevant agricultural education programme and remain enrolled for the entire duration of your internship. Graduates are not eligible.
  • English Language Proficiency — You need to have a good working knowledge of English so you can communicate confidently during your internship. You must provide a valid IELTS General Training certificate with a minimum CEFR B1 level.
  • Commitment to Duration — You should be prepared to commit to a 12–18-month internship. This gives you the opportunity to experience a full seasonal cycle, learn how the farm operates throughout the year, and gain valuable hands-on experience.
  • One Semester Completed — You must have successfully completed at least one full semester of your studies before the internship begins.
  • Apply from Your Home Country — Your application must be submitted and processed from your country of residence.
  • Financial Capacity — Before coming to Denmark, you need to have enough personal savings to cover your programme fees, visa and residence permit costs, travel to Denmark and your first living expenses. This is important because you will receive your first salary only after you have started your internship and completed your first pay period.We recommend having at least €2,500–€3,000 in available savings. The exact amount you need may vary depending on your travel costs and personal circumstances.
  • Valid Biometric Passport — Your passport must be valid and contain the standard biometric symbol on the cover and have at least three blank pages available for visa purposes.
  • Successful Interview — You will be invited to an interview where we get to know you better and learn about your motivation, educational background, practical experience, learning goals, and English communication skills.

Eligible Fields of Study

  • Agriculture — Broad agricultural science, management, and sustainable production.
  • Animal Science — Dairy, swine, and livestock health, nutrition, and herd management.
  • Agronomy — Crop production, soil management, and sustainable field practices.
  • Veterinary Studies — Practical livestock health, diagnostics, and preventative care.
  • Equine Studies — Horse care, nutrition, breeding, and stable management.
  • Horticulture — Greenhouse production, hydroponics, and climate‑controlled cultivation.

Highly Recommended 

  • Driving Licence  — Holding a valid Category B driving licence is highly beneficial. It increases the number of placement opportunities available and provides greater independence during your internship.
  • Prior Practical Experience   — Previous hands-on agricultural or technical experience is an advantage. It will help you adapt more quickly to daily farm work and make the most of your internship from the beginning.

Please Note

Meeting the eligibility requirements allows you to apply but does not guarantee placement. Selection is competitive and depends on programme capacity, host farm availability, and the strength of your application.

  • These internships are available only to currently enrolled, full-time agricultural students whose programme includes a mandatory internship (praktik).
  • To join the internship, you must remain actively enrolled throughout the internship. Graduates, or students who complete their studies before or during the internship, are not eligible.
