Denmark

As an international student in Denmark, you can expect world-class education in areas such as engineering, life sciences, social sciences, and IT. You will
also be studying in a safe, friendly, and innovation-driven environment. In Denmark, higher education is focused on bringing about solutions for the real-world.

Thus, traditional lectures are combined with industrial collaborations and teaching methods that promote students’ ability to use what they have learned and to turn new knowledge into innovative solutions. This way of studying requires a high degree of personal initiative and independent thinking. Bachelor’s degree can be completed between 3 to 4 and a half years depending on the institution.

Denmark’s location makes it a gateway to other Scandinavian countries and the rest of Europe. Berlin is just an hour’s flight away. London and Paris can be
reached in less than two hours. And Barcelona, Rome, Vienna, and Prague are all just a few hours’ flight away. Holidays can be spent in any of the surrounding European countries.

Employment
EU/EEA, Nordic and Swiss nationals can work in Denmark while studying without any restrictions on hours. Non-EU/EEA and non-Nordic students are
allowed to work in Denmark for a maximum of 20 hours a week from September to May, and full-time from June to August. However, you’ll need a work permit for this, which you can apply for at the same time as your residence permit or at the Danish Immigration Service.

Upon graduation from a Danish higher education institution, your residence permit will remain valid for an additional six months, allowing you to seek
employment in Denmark. Provided your visa hasn’t already been extended for an extra six months you can apply for such an extension to your permit.
