Living in Denmark

Source: https://www.dtu.dk/english/education/student-guide/living-in-denmark Parent: https://www.dtu.dk/english/

Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world and the least corrupt, which may be one of the reasons why Danes rate themselves as being amongst the happiest people on earth year after year. Language proficiency is excellent and over 90 per cent of the population speak English.

Denmark is a safe, modern, and efficient country. Known worldwide for its welfare, as a student you too will have access to such benefits as free medical attention.

Denmark also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world—a fact you will appreciate as you set out to explore the forests and the seas; the countryside dotted with royal palaces, and the nation’s capital, Copenhagen.

Weather-wise Denmark is situated in the northern part of Europe and is blessed with four distinct seasons. Winters are dark and cold with occasional snowfall; springs are mild and balmy; summers are temperate and light with the Nordic sun setting close to 10 p.m., while autumns are often rainy and windy, but enriched with a rainbow of beautiful colours.

Denmark is a democracy where personal freedom, freedom of speech and inclusive values are highly valued.
