Why Study in Denmark?

As one of the long-established developed countries, Denmark offers unique geographic and study-abroad advantages. Its higher education system is also especially attractive.

Denmark has many high-quality universities, some of which hold an important place in Europe and even worldwide. Examples include the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, the Technical University of Denmark, Aalborg University, and the University of Southern Denmark. Below, let’s take a closer look at the advantages of studying in Denmark.

1. International learning environment

Many universities in Denmark offer English-taught programs, which eliminates the need to learn the local language before or after going abroad and helps save both time and money. Applicants only need to take the TOEFL or IELTS and meet Denmark’s language requirements.

2. Relatively low tuition and living costs

The cost of studying in Denmark and the cost of living are relatively low. First, Denmark has a well-developed social security and welfare system, and the government funds universities, so most tuition fees range from RMB 80,000 to 100,000. Compared with countries such as the UK, the US, and Australia, this is relatively affordable. Second, living expenses in Denmark are also fairly low. In general, annual spending of around RMB 60,000 to 80,000, including housing, meals, transportation, and books, is enough. Finally, universities offer a range of scholarships and grants, which can further reduce costs if you meet the requirements.

3. High visa approval rate

As for visas, if your documents are well prepared in advance and you are not overly nervous during the interview, you can answer the visa officer’s questions clearly. With an invitation letter or admission letter from a Danish university, the chance of rejection is very low. In addition, Denmark is part of the Schengen Area. Once you obtain a Danish student visa, you can travel to other EU countries during your free time without applying for another visa, which is very convenient.

4. Low crime rate

When studying abroad, safety is extremely important, because you are studying in an unfamiliar country. Denmark is socially stable, has good public security, and local residents are warm and friendly. Compared with other Western countries, Denmark has a relatively low crime rate and is one of the countries with the lowest crime rates in the world. As a result, life in Denmark feels safer.

5. Flexible part-time work conditions and good pay

If your financial situation is not especially strong, there is no need to worry. During the first year of study in Denmark, students can legally work part-time for several months during the holidays. After living in Denmark for 18 months, they can also work an additional 18 hours per week. Denmark’s minimum wage is RMB 70 per hour.
