The Visa Honest

Denmark is a Great Place to Study

Denmark is a Great Place to Study Visa Honest

Since the debut of the United Nations' World Happiness Report in 2012, Denmark has been renowned as the country with happy people, ranking first (nearly) every time. One thing is certain: if you choose to study in Denmark, you may catch a glimpse of the Danes' innate cheerfulness.

Denmark, with a population of 5.6 million people, is a small yet proud country in Northern Europe. It shares borders with Germany in the south and Sweden in the east, with coasts on the Northern and Baltic Seas.

Denmark does well in other categories as well: it is one of the greatest countries for business, has a very high standard of life, and, most crucially, consistently ranks first in educational rankings.

All Programs in Denmark

Denmark's higher Education facts and stats

Denmark has a sophisticated educational system that includes numerous world-class institutions. There are approximately 500 English-taught study programs to choose from at 30 higher education institutions. Denmark, like many other nations, distinguishes between full research universities and university colleges (sometimes known as "universities of applied sciences" or "polytechnics"). Business academies, which offer practice-oriented associate's and bachelor's degrees in business-related subjects, are a locally unique type of institution.

Tuition Fees 

Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland do not have to pay tuition. Students on exchange programs and those with non-study-related residence permits are in the same boat. All others must pay annual tuition costs ranging from 45,000 to 120,000 DKK (about 6,000 to 16,000 EUR).

Graduates' job market

While recent political changes have made it significantly more difficult, it is still far from impossible for non-European nationals to stay in Denmark after graduation to live and work. Internationals are well-represented across industries, particularly in Copenhagen. While solid Danish - or mastery of another Scandinavian language, for that matter - is not a requirement, it is usually a benefit when competing with local applicants, so take language classes while studying there.

Transportation

Copenhagen Airport is the only significant airport in Denmark, as well as the largest in Scandinavia, with nonstop flights to over 100 destinations. There is a dense system of trains and buses to rely on within Denmark - not that there are any vast internal distances to cover. While cities normally have decent public transportation, city dwellers rely largely on bicycles. Copenhagen consistently ranks first in international rankings of bike-friendly cities.
