While the Nordic countries boast a high standard of living that may seem out of reach for many students, there are many other benefits to studying in these countries.
In Copenhagen, for example, registration fees are completely free, which allows for substantial and significant savings that ease the burden. Furthermore, the range of master's degrees in English is very wide and varied; European students are truly spoiled for choice, and some courses, such as business schools, even offer success guarantees that are among the best in the world.
100% free higher education in Denmark
For all European and Swiss students who wish to study in Denmark, registration fees are free, which means you don't have to spend anywhere from 6,000 to 16,000 euros right from the start, as is the case in many European countries. Even if life is expensive, housing solutions in residences or student accommodation at very affordable prices exist, and you can also enjoy a quality of life that is quite unique for a capital city. The modern and very accessible facilities of Danish universities are also a real plus for students on a limited budget. There's no need to systematically invest in highly sophisticated equipment because schools generally provide students with everything they need for their studies. Libraries and student residences welcome students from Monday to Sunday without interruption to help them study while benefiting from the most modern organizational solutions. Bicycles are easy to rent and sports facilities are inexpensive, which allows you to relax at a lower cost. Although life in Copenhagen isn't exactly stressful, there are plenty of opportunities to relax at low cost.
A wide range of study courses in English
Like the other two Scandinavian countries (Sweden and Norway), Denmark offers very varied and sometimes quite unusual study programs when you come from other European countries: gender studies programs (male/female) are numerous, ecological programs are also very specific and effective, business studies are ranked and appear in the list of the best in the world. All these study programs are offered in English and accessible to students from all over the world. Studying is therefore a real opportunity to improve your English and that's not all because in the streets of Copenhagen, all the inhabitants seem perfectly bilingual, so you can practice your English on a daily basis and improve it visibly without feeling like a real foreigner. Danish students, thanks to their very good knowledge of English, are very easily accessible and you will not need a period of learning the Danish language to hope to meet locals. Once you graduate, you will also have no difficulty finding a job thanks to English, which is the working language of a good majority of companies here.
Choosing Copenhagen is therefore a very wise choice for discovering Nordic culture while continuing to develop your English skills and offers many opportunities for students to find their place in an often very competitive job market.
