You apply for a visa at a Danish mission in your country of origin or the country where you have lived for the last 3 months. In countries where there is no Danish representation, you can apply at the mission of other countries participating in the Schengen visa treaty, who represent Denmark in the country in question. You can get an application form from that consulate or embassy. If you apply at a Danish consulate or embassy, you can also get the application form from the website of the Danish Immigration Service.
So far the University of Aarhus does not require proof of English proficiency from guest students. But the teaching language is English and students must be able to read the relevant literature (in English) and follow teaching and discussion.
You should get your European Health Insurance Card from your local authorities before travelling to Denmark. This card is a proof that you are entitled to health insurance in your home country. Above all, it gives you access to free medical care in Denmark until the Danish Health insurance covers you.
As an international student or exchange student from another country than the above mentioned, you are not covered by the Danish Health Insurance Scheme due to the short duration of the Summer School programme. You should therefore take out a private medical insurance for your stay in Denmark.
Note that it is your responsibility to take out insurance for your personal belongings and third liability during your stay in Denmark
