Each region is headed by a 41-member high elected regional councils, whose political leader has the title of regional council chairman.

Denmark is Everything you can dream of
Copenhagen, with its 1.2 million inhabitants, is the capital, but big cities as Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense have everything you could ask for of a capital, just on a smaller scale.

Being part of Scandinavia does not make Denmark very cold or very expensive. The climate has no extremes – in winter the temperature averages minus 1 degree Celsius and during summer time it is normally 20-25 degrees Celsius. This is due to the Gulf Stream that flows into the seas around Denmark.

Denmark is less expensive than many people think. As a student, 600 Euro per month should easily cover your living expenses in Denmark, which is less than in most countries in Europe.

Happiest people in the world
According to the World Database of Happiness, The Danes are known for being the happiest people in the world – not surprisingly as Denmark is a safe country with a modern welfare state that offers education at a world class level.

Denmark also have a long tradition for a flexible education system where you can enroll at any time during your life.

The language
The official language is Danish, which is spoken by more than 5.3 million Danes.

However, most all of them also speak very good English, and therefore it is not a problem to be in Denmark as a foreigner not knowing the Danish language.

An informal attitude
Denmark is known for its commitment to human rights and its fight for a sustainable climate. Our discussions are free and we are very informal. That is a key attitude to the Danes.
