Higher Education in Denmark
Introduction

Higher education in the country consists of the university sector, where students have the opportunity to pursue research based undergraduate and graduate programmes, and the professional sector where students have the option to pursue professional bachelor and diploma programmes, and other professionally oriented programmes.
Higher educational institutions in the country also offer courses in English. Besides, English programmes such as MBA and MPA at graduate level are also available. Also, a number of long and short programmes in specific areas are available.

Moreover, the higher education courses offered in the country have well defined pattern and unique qualities. The courses offered at such level have a professional orientation and there is a continuous emphasis on cooperation between teaching and research.

One of the main features of the Danish higher education is that students are encouraged to work together in groups wherein they take part in discussions and develop the habit of working independently. This is an altogether new approach to study, which has both positive and challenging aspects inherent to it.

Also, many institutions in the country have designed a special student-to-student programme in order to make international students feel comfortable while in the country. A pre-enrolled student helps a student arriving in the country in getting him settled, introducing him to other students, and assisting him in all practical matters.
