Denmark, Among all the countries is considered as one of the best place for students to pursue their degree in. Learn about why students are choosing Denmark as their study destination and if Denmark should be your priority for 2025.
Why is Denmark becoming the center of attention in 2025?
The documentation process is lengthy, and the visa success rate is lower in other countries. Whereas, The easier documentation process and higher visa success rate in Denmark makes it popular among Non-EU students. Danish people can fluently understand and speak English which makes it easier for students if they seek any help. Getting a job is also easier compared to other European countries.
There is a recent change in Denmark’s work policy for students from July 2024. Students can work part-time upto 90 working hours per month during study period and full-time during June, July and August providing greater flexibility for students working part-time. I believe Danish Universities have everything to offer to students seeking a reasonable study destination, infrastructure, resources etc. Due to these reasons Denmark is becoming the first priority for international students planning to study in Europe.
Denmark compared with other European countries?
Students have a lot of options to seek for their quality of education in europe. Countries like Germany, France, Finland, UK and Ireland are considered as great options for students too. Still, why Denmark? The answer is tuition fees in Danish universities are cheaper than UK and ireland/cost of living is cheaper too, whereas sustaining in france and germany will be hard for international students due to the language barrier and its hard to get a secure a job in these countries. Finland could be the option but Denmark has better opportunities for students and easier living than finland. So, I believe denmark for students is better compared to other european countries.
