✨ Eligibility & Submission Requirements – 2026 

• Age Requirement (18–28 Years) —  At the time you submit your application, you must be at least 18 years old and no older than 28 years old.
• Active Student Status in an Agricultural Educational Programme —  You must be actively and continuously enrolled in a relevant agricultural education programme at an officially recognised and accredited public university in your home country throughout the entire approved internship period.

  Your enrolment must remain valid, uninterrupted and verifiable from the start date until the final day of the internship. 

• Educational Purpose — There must be a genuine and documented educational purpose for undertaking the internship in Denmark. The internship must be directly related to your current agricultural study programme and must provide relevant practical training, learning opportunities and professional experience within your field of study.

  The internship must form a natural and meaningful complement to your education and support the learning objectives, competencies, or academic outcomes of your study programme.

• One Semester Completed — Before the internship start date, you must have successfully completed at least one full semester of your current study programme at an officially recognised and accredited educational institution.

  A semester is considered successfully completed only if you have fulfilled the academic requirements established by your institution and have progressed to the next stage of your studies. 

• Commitment to Duration — You must be willing and able to commit to a continuous internship period of 12 to 18 months, as agreed with the host farm and approved under the internship programme.

  The internship is designed to provide comprehensive practical training over an extended period, including exposure to a complete seasonal production cycle and the day-to-day operation of a Danish agricultural enterprise throughout the year.

• English Language Proficiency — You must possess sufficient English language skills to communicate effectively and safely in the workplace, participate in practical training, understand instructions, and manage everyday activities during your internship in Denmark.

  As a minimum requirement, you must provide a valid IELTS General Training test certificate demonstrating English proficiency at CEFR Level B1 or higher. A higher level of English proficiency is strongly recommended.

• Apply from Your Home Country — You must submit and complete your internship application while residing in your country of citizenship or lawful permanent residence. You must be able to provide documentation confirming your residence status and physical presence in your home country at the time of application, if requested.
• Financial Capacity — Before travelling to Denmark, you must have sufficient financial resources to cover all costs that arise before you receive your first salary. This includes, but is not limited to, programme fees, visa and residence permit fees, travel expenses, mandatory insurance costs, accommodation-related expenses, and personal living costs during your initial period in Denmark.

  As a guideline, applicants are strongly encouraged to have €2,500–€3,000 in readily available personal savings before departure. However, the actual amount required may be higher depending on individual circumstances, travel costs, immigration requirements, and other personal expenses.

• Valid Biometric Passport — You must hold a valid biometric passport issued by your country of citizenship. The passport must display the internationally recognised biometric symbol on the cover, remain valid for the entire internship period and for any additional period required by immigration authorities, and contain at least three blank visa pages available for entry, exit, residence permit, visa, or other immigration-related endorsements.
• Successful Interview — As part of the application process, you must successfully complete an interview conducted by the programme. The interview is used to assess your suitability for the internship and to verify the information provided in your application.

  The interview will also assess your understanding of the programme requirements and your readiness to live and work in Denmark for the full internship period.

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 strongly recommended. It can significantly increase your placement opportunities, as some host farms require interns to drive vehicles or machinery, and it provides greater independence during your stay in Denmark.

  Prior Practical Experience — Previous hands-on agricultural, technical, or farm-related experience is strongly recommended. Practical experience will help you adapt more quickly to the demands of daily farm work, follow workplace instructions, and contribute effectively from the beginning of your internship.

Please note: While meeting the eligibility requirements makes you eligible to apply, it does not guarantee placement. Final selection depends on available programme spaces, host farm availability and the strength of your application.
