Denmark: The happy place for any student<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Along with being touted as one of the happiest countries in the world, Denmark is also rising as a preferred destination for international students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Made up of a collection of islands and peninsulas, Denmark is situated at a northern tip of mainland Europe. With a population of 57 lakh people, Denmark consistently ranks as one of the highest scoring nations on the United Nations’ Human Development Index, which looks at life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators. Germany is situated to the south, while a bridge across the oresund straits connects Denmark to its Swedish neighbours. Along with its popular pastries and bacon, the nation is also blessed with an accommodating climate of cool winters and balmy summers.<\/p>\n

Denmark is amongst the popular international study locations in Europe, thanks to its low study costs, high-quality English-taught degree courses and innovative teaching methods. The very good standard of living and diversified study subjects make Danish universities important contenders on the international higher education market. Lifelong learning is a key principle in Denmark. The idea goes back all the way to the 19th century Danish clergyman and philosopher NFS Grundtvig, who argued that a prerequisite for active participation in a democratic society is education for all citizens on a lifelong basis.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Roskilde and Lyngby are some of the popular study destinations in Denmark. Copenhagen, the capital city and central hub of Denmark, is a popular student city and is home to two of its most well-regraded universities, the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Business School. Just north of the city is the Technical University of Denmark, and the cities of Aarhus and Aalborg on the western Jutland peninsula each have their own highly-regarded learning institutes. English is the most common second language in Denmark and many university courses are taught in English too.<\/p>\n

Regarded as one of the happiest countries in the world, for Denmark, its human resources are the only raw material in a world that is becoming more and more globalised.<\/p>\n

In fact, Denmark invests more than 8 per cent of its GDP on education – much more than the OECD-average at 6 per cent. It believes that education is a must to survive in this world today. Also, Denmark is amongst one of the few nations in the world that use more than 3 per cent of GDP on R&D.<\/p>\n

In addition to being happy, in Denmark, a student can also have the chance to pursue a quality education in a friendly, safe and innovation-driven environment. Denmark is ranked 2nd in the EU Innovation Scoreboard and considered to be an innovation leader in Europe together with Sweden, Germany and Finland. When it comes to higher education, the percentage of students completing a higher education programme in a year is 62% (2014), where women are at 69% and men at 55%, i.e. more women than men are getting a higher education degree today in Denmark.<\/p>\n

INTERNATIONALISATION OF EDUCATION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Great importance is attached to the internationalisation of education and training in Denmark. The objective is to prepare pupils and students to meet the challenges of a globalised world by including intercultural understanding and international competencies in the entire educational system.<\/p>\n

It is the aim of the Danish Government that the educational system should give the young people the knowledge and the competences useful in their future life and employment. Education programmes must be of high quality and relevant to the labour market. In order to face the challenges of globalisation, educational institutions should be of high quality with strong academic environments which can attract talented students and researchers and meet the labour market needs.<\/p>\n
