Situated at the southmost tip of the Nordic countries, Denmark is a unique country for international students to study in. One of the unique features about the study programmes in Denmark is that they cater to two types of students. One that prefers to get a professional degree, and the other who wants to join the mainstream job market after completing their studies. On the other hand, there are programmes that give students more time to complete their studies when they combine it with field studies and practical application of their subject. This is one the most unique features about study opportunities in Denmark.

Whether it is a research-based curriculum or theory based, students can easily find the study program that they aim to pursue. There are numerous programmes that are taught in English. This makes familiarizing oneself with Danish non-compulsory. However, it can add to the social quotient of the student. Another unique feature about studying in Denmark is that students can not only choose between degree programmes, short term programmes or exchange programmes but also between Universities, University Colleges, and Academies of Professional Higher Education. Moreover, students may also move from one institution to another thanks to the opportunities of credit transfer.

Why Study in Denmark?

Although most of the students who head out of India for higher studies have their usual destinations like the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, there are countries in Europe, especially the Nordic countries, which offer not just opportunities on par with the popular destinations, but are far more economically friendly.

In pursuing study opportunities in Denmark, consultants will surely put a lot of doubts relating to not just study opportunities, but also expenses and language barrier questions to rest. According to a study conducted in 2012, the average cost of higher education varies from country to country in Europe. However, the Nordic countries are generally more generous when it comes to education fees. Of course, there are certain groups that are accorded free education, but for those who do not belong to that group, the costs are still lower when compared to the more popular countries as mentioned above.

The following are some of the benefits of studying in Denmark.

• Students who arrive in Denmark from EU or EEA (European Economic Area) can make use of free higher education.
• Students who are a part of student exchange programmes are also able to make use of free higher education.
• There are further categories, which do not have to pay for tuition, which includes those who have a permanent residential permit or temporary residence permit that can be later upgraded to permanent resident permit.
• A student who has a parent from a non-EU or EEA country, but who is already working in Denmark can also make use of free higher education.
• There are many different grants also available to students if they become parents.
• The Danish government also offers scholarships to highly qualified students from other countries, provided they adhere to certain prerequisites.
• Low cost of living is one of the features that can act as an attractive factor for students.

In view of the above, as well as many other factors, it makes more sense when a student has study abroad Denmark on his or her mind.
