Admission Process
Long-stay residency
Who is eligible?
Applicants must be Danish nationals pursuing higher education or artistic studies for whom a stay in Paris would be particularly beneficial.
Applicants must have completed at least four semesters of higher education by the time of arrival.
The application deadline is June 1st for stays beginning no earlier than September 1st of the same year.

Additional documents
Documents that are unavailable at the time of application may be uploaded later by returning to your applicant profile.
Applicants will be notified by email before July 1st.
No later than ten days after confirmation of admission, a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent, together with a €50 administration fee, must be paid by bank transfer to the Foundation’s account. Failure to make payment within the deadline will result in the room being offered immediately to another applicant on the waiting list.
The security deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
If you wish to arrive before September 1st, please contact the Fondation Danoise administration directly.
When selecting your arrival and departure dates, please note that accommodation fees are always charged for a full month.
If you are assigned to another residence through the CIUP brassage programme, you will be notified by email before the end of July.
Applications for the second semester are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Short stays
The House has three small guest rooms, known as “couchettes”, which are primarily intended for friends and family members of residents visiting for a few nights. They may also occasionally be made available to researchers or other visitors staying in Paris for a short period.
During July and August, all vacant rooms are available for rent. Stays of more than two weeks are given priority.
Brassage Partner Residences
International brassage has been a core value of the Cité since its creation. The programme seeks to maintain an ideal balance of approximately 50% nationals and 50% non-nationals in each residence.
As a result, roughly one-third of the residents of the Fondation danoise are not Danish nationals.
