Degrees in Denmark

Denmark is a relatively small country with just under 6 million citizens. It is the southernmost of the Scandinavian nations, sitting just under Sweden and Norway on the European mainland, between the North and Baltic Seas. Denmark shares a common heritage with the other Scandinavian countries, dating from the Vikings in the middle ages through the Kalmar Union afterward to Denmark’s own independence in the 19th century.

Copenhagen, the country’s capital and largest city, is the most popular place for international students to earn their degree abroad in Denmark. Having roots as a Viking fishing village, Copenhagen became Denmark’s capital in the 15th century, and continues to this day to serve as the political, economic, and cultural nucleus of the county. Copenhagen is also home to a handful of Denmark’s top universities, including the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark.

Aarhus, home of Aarhus University which is also widely acknowledged as one of the best schools in Europe, is another popular destination where to earn a degree abroad in Denmark. Settled on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula, Aarhus is Denmark’s second largest city, and can be an equally rewarding place to live abroad as you pursue your degree in the country.
