Important Information for International Students
On April 30th, 2025, the Danish Parliament passed new legislation concerning international students in Denmark.

The new regulations will pass into effect on May 2nd, 2025.  The following regulations will apply to all students enrolling at the IBA International Business Academy on or after this date:

Students are not permitted to work during their studies at the IBA International Business Academy in Kolding.
Students must depart Denmark immediately upon completing their studies.
Students are not allowed to bring dependents to Denmark.
These changes apply to all students from non-EU countries enrolled in Coventry degree programs at the IBA Kolding, including the new BME programme.

The changes do not apply to students who have applied for or been granted a residence permit as a student before 2 May 2025. These students will continue to have the right to a limited work permit, a 6-month job search stay and the right to bring accompanying family to Denmark. These students will continue with the same rights if they apply for an extension of their residence permit from 2 May 2025.

Nor do the changes apply to foreign nationals who have applied for or been granted a residence permit as an accompanying family member of a student in a non-state-approved higher educational programme before 2 May 2025. These accompanying family members will continue with the same rights if they apply for an extension of their residence permit from 2 May 2025.
