Denmark is a small country with a population of approximately 5.8 million people. It is one of the three Scandinavian countries and shares a border with Germany. You may have heard that Danes are among the happiest people on the planet. Perhaps Denmark's welfare system is one of the reasons for this. One of the cornerstones of the Danish welfare system is free and equal access to services such as healthcare and education. The welfare system aims to achieve economic equality, prevent corruption, and maintain low crime rates in society
Free education for all is a priority in Denmark to ensure growth, welfare, and competitiveness. The combination of high academic standards and innovative learning approaches prepares students to play an active role in today's globalized world. Danish higher education has a long tradition of collaboration with business, industry, and research institutions that provide students with a suitable environment
Denmark is practically an island country consisting of more than 440 islands (but only 70 of them are inhabited). Even Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, is located on an island. No part of Denmark is more than 50 km away from the sea. Denmark's location makes it a great gateway to other Scandinavian countries and the rest of Europe. Berlin is only an hour's flight away. London and Paris can be reached in less than two hours. Barcelona, Rome, Vienna, and Prague are only a few hours away
Whether you are interested in a research-oriented course or a more practical "applied" course, you will find a suitable option in Denmark. You do not need to speak Danish to study in Denmark. Danish higher education institutions offer a wide variety of English-language educational programs. Additionally, almost all Danes speak English, so it is easy to communicate with your teachers, classmates, and in your daily life. Whether it's a program taught in Danish or English, keep in mind that applying to study in Denmark as an international student requires meeting some language requirements.
As research plays a significant role in Danish society, you can also pursue doctoral and industrial research programs. Finally, if you want to experience what it's like to study in Denmark, starting with a Bachelor's degree program would be a great start. Danish higher education institutions offer two types of Bachelor's degrees: Professional Bachelor's Degree and University Bachelor's Degree.
A Professional Bachelor's degree enables you to enter a specific profession. The education period lasts between three to four and a half years. The teaching is research-based and provides students with specialization knowledge as well as a broad academic foundation. In addition to attending lectures, students participate in seminars, project work, and group activities. The theoretical foundation is also practically applied through internships.
Professional bachelor's degrees are offered at university colleges ('Professionshøjskoler'). These institutions have strong connections with businesses and universities in addition to other research institutes in their regions.
University colleges offer a wide variety of subject areas to choose from, including engineering, IT management, nursing, health and nutrition, teacher education, journalism, and social education, providing you with a unique opportunity to undertake a career-focused educational program. Most programs provide access to further study at the graduate level.
A University Bachelor's degree is awarded after completing a three-year undergraduate program usually in one or two subject areas. You must present a final project towards the end of the program. At the end of the program, you can enter the workforce or become eligible to pursue graduate education.
All higher education programs in Denmark require a high level of English proficiency. TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge ESOL exams (CAE) are frequently used to demonstrate sufficient English proficiency. The required language proficiency varies by institution, so check the language requirements to be sure.
For full-time students, annual tuition fees range from:
8,000-21,000 US dollars / 6,000-16,000 Euros (45,000-120,000 DKK).
