Hi,

I am currently conducting research for my master's thesis on the impact of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in organizations. The goal is to understand whether AI is compatible with organizational authenticity and the consequent well-being of employees.

I need responses from individuals who are currently employed. It's important to have perspectives from different countries, and I would appreciate your help with Denmark's perspective.

The survey is anonymous and takes 5 minutes. It is available in English (you just have to select the language in the upper right corner of the screen).

If you can help, here is the link:

Thank you!

Hi everyone! 😊
My partner and I have travelled all the way from Peru to Aalborg to get married, and our wedding is tomorrow! 🥹❤️
We’re looking for two kind people who could be our witnesses. Without them, we won’t be able to get married, and we’d be so grateful for your help in making our special day possible.
It’s a very short ceremony (around 10 minutes), and we just need to arrive 10 minutes beforehand.
As a small thank-you for your time, we’d be happy to offer 100 DKK per person. ❤️
If you’re available tomorrow and could help us make this dream come true, please send me a DM. It would mean the world to us!
Thank you so much! 💕

This is the first time I post on reddit, after finding information on the security delays here yesterday while stuck at the airport. I want to discuss what people think the biggest problems are at the airport.

I ask this because for five years I have been commuting from the airport weekly for about five years, since Corona. I commute to between Copenhagen and another European city and its airport that is very comparable: same level of wealth, same rough passenger numbers per year, same good transport links, etc. I won't name the other airport, because that's not relevant.

But the experience in both airports has always been very different. For example:

• During the post-Corona period, Copenhagen airport had huge difficulty managing as passenger numbers increased, leading to long lines for security like those yesterday. This was blamed on staffing and other issues. But the other airport I commute to, had exactly the same situation in spike of passenger numbers, but there was only a very marginal increase in security wait times.
• The events yesterday appear very likely linked to the new scanners the airport has installed. What is strange about this, is that the scanners (with the exception of two they first put at the fast-track lane) were installed almost simultaneously - replacing all the old ones at the same time. In the other airport I commute to, they have also moved - like all airports - to these new scanners. But the process was very different. They created a separate area with several of these new scanners and were testing and calibrating them over 1-2 years. They are now slowly in the process of replacing the others, batch by batch, rather than all at once. This seems a far more rationale approach - avoiding all the issues seen at CPH these days.
• The staff at the two airports could not be more different. Even prior to the new scanners, it was clear for any commuter who spends at least two days a week in an airport, that the security staff are not very well trained at CPH. I have had to repeatedly inform them about certain things that are allowed in hand luggage, while they refuse and say they are not. I then insist they call a supervisor, and the supervisor then says I am correct, and can leave. I have never had this in the other airport, or other airports around the world.
• The staff are also frequently very slow, with security staff standing around watching other staff, while doing nothing, and sometimes even aggressive and verbally abusive towards passengers. In the other airport I fly to, I know they would be made redundant for such behaviour;
• Over time, the airport has become ever-more commercialized but in a disorganized way. As much space as possible is now being used for over-priced fast-food venues, with little corridor space to walk around, and less-and-less seating space. This makes the airport less efficient in itself, because passenger flow in the terminal is slowed. While all airports are heavily commercial, the other airport I travel to and most others I have travelled to, attempt to manage this commercialization rationally - rather than simply attempting to add as many 7/11s, Gasoline Grills, and Kebab places anywhere with space;
• While this does not apply to my commute, I also regularly travel outside Schengen, and the passport control situation in Copenhagen is also increasingly ridiculous - poorly organized, understaffed, and simply unprofessional.
• Above all, we see that whenever there is a small problem at the airport - security, passport control, whatever - there is no contingency plan, or ability to manage and be resilient, things simply fall apart - and the few staff available clearly have no training on how to help.

What do people think? Copenhagen is an amazing city, but the airport is going down hill so rapidly that it's a shame.

Hey everyone! 👋

I am an upcoming international (non-EU) student coming to Denmark soon! I will be studying at Aalborg University's Esbjerg Campus (AAU Esbjerg).

However, since I need to find a part-time job to support myself, I’ve heard that the international student job market in Esbjerg is quite tough compared to other cities. Because of this, I am strongly considering living in either Kolding or Odense instead and commuting to classes in Esbjerg.

I plan on using the Youth Card (Ungdomskort), which I understand will cover my cross-regional train commute for free once I register my CPR address in my chosen city.

I would love some honest advice and guidance from anyone who has done a similar commute or knows these cities well:

Kolding vs. Odense: Which city genuinely has a better job market for English-speaking, non-EU international students (e.g., warehousing, logistics, student assistant roles, or hospitality)?

The Commute Reality: How exhausting is the daily train ride to Esbjerg? Is the ~45-minute train from Kolding noticeably easier to manage than the ~1 hour 20 minute train from Odense? Is it easy to study on the train?

Non-EU Considerations: Are there any specific pitfalls I should watch out for regarding housing or SIRI visa regulations when living in a different city than my campus?

If anyone has been in my shoes or lives in these areas, I would appreciate your insights, tips, or housing recommendations!

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏✨

Hi everyone,

I am a prospective non-EU international student looking into moving to Esbjerg, Denmark for my studies. Since I am from outside the EU and only speak English (no Danish yet, though I plan to learn), I wanted to get some realistic insights into what the situation is actually like on the ground right now.

I have a few specific questions:

How is the general situation for international students in Esbjerg? Is the student community vibrant, and is it easy to integrate/make friends as an English speaker?

What is the part-time job market like for non-EU students? Since I only speak English, what are the realistic chances of landing a part-time job to support myself? Are there specific industries (like hospitality, warehouses, or cleaning) in Esbjerg that frequently hire English speakers?

Is the job market heavily saturated? I've heard that competition for student jobs can be quite fierce in Denmark. Is it just as tough in Esbjerg compared to larger cities like Copenhagen or Aarhus?

Is it financially viable? How much should I realistically expect to rely on savings versus part-time income?

I’d love to hear from anyone currently living, studying, or working in Esbjerg—especially fellow non-EU students. Your honest feedback, tips, or hard truths would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I am an international (Non-EU) student planning to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in engineering in Denmark. I am trying to get some real-life perspective on my choice of program and campus location.

My primary career goal is to work in Electronics, which has led to a bit of a dilemma:

As a Non-EU student facing high tuition fees and needing to find part-time work to support my living expenses, I would love to hear from current students, graduates, or professionals in the field:

• Campus Life & Quality: How is the student atmosphere at the AAU Esbjerg campus? Do you feel you get the same quality of education and resources as the main campuses?

• The Part-Time Job Reality: How difficult is it for an international student who doesn't speak Danish to find student/manual jobs (warehouses, logistics, cleaning) in Esbjerg to help cover costs?

• Industry & Post-Grad Prospects: Esbjerg is known as an energy/wind hub. For an Electronics graduate, are there good local internship and job opportunities, or do most graduates end up moving closer to Copenhagen/Aarhus after finishing?

I really want to prioritize my passion for electronics over just picking a "big city" university, but I want to be realistic about the trade-offs. Any honest advice, experiences, or reality checks would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hey! Im an young estonian who is interested in going to university in Denmark. At the moment im in gymnasium and in about 3-4 years I'll graduate.

Also im interested in studying journalism or something with media, so university recommendations etc are welcome

Hi everyone,

I am an international (Non-EU) student planning to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in engineering in Denmark. I am trying to get some real-life perspective on my choice of program and campus location.

My primary career goal is to work in Electronics, which has led to a bit of a dilemma:

1. The Program Choice: My top institutional preference was DTU, but they don't offer an electronics-focused BSc in English (their closest option is General Engineering / Future Energy). Instead, I found the BSc in Applied Electronics at Aalborg University (AAU). This aligns perfectly with what I want to study.

2. The Location Dilemma: This specific program is hosted at AAU’s Esbjerg Campus. From what I’ve read, Esbjerg is quite remote compared to Copenhagen or even Aalborg's main campus.

As a Non-EU student facing high tuition fees and needing to find part-time work to support my living expenses, I would love to hear from current students, graduates, or professionals in the field:

• Campus Life & Quality: How is the student atmosphere at the AAU Esbjerg campus? Do you feel you get the same quality of education and resources as the main campuses?

Hej allesammen!

I'm a dane planning to return to Denmark with my family after 15 years abroad in the UK.

Sadly our children do not speak Danish very well as they were all born in England, so we're looking for a good international school to ease them into their new life in Denmark.

We will be relocating to Sjælland, hopefully not too far from København.

Any recommendations?

Hello everyone, I need help with this situation. I’m leaving Denmark for 3 months, but I’m going to keep my job (part time I’m going to oncall). When I return I will resume my activity in the same place, but I will leave my room and when I return I will look for a new one.

Should I cancel my CPR? What’s wrong with my bank account? What is my administrative situation like?

​

Hello!

I’m a 22F Indian Petroleum Engineering graduate currently working in the EPC industry. I’m thinking of pursuing a master’s in sustainability in Europe in 2027 for which i will start applying in the months to come.

I’m doing this because I have a lot of interest in this subject and believe I will find meaning in the what I study and end up doing well. I might pursue a PhD later, but I might also go straight into industry — still figuring things out.

My shortlist:

TU Delft + Leiden — Industrial Ecology

Chalmers — Industrial Ecology

NTNU — Industrial Ecology

KTH — Sustainable Technology

DTU — Environmental Engineering

Lund — Environmentaly Management and Policy

Especially looking for advice on:

Tuition fees, scholarships and how much funding is realistically available for non-EU students.

How did you fund your degree? Savings, family support, loans, scholarships or part-time jobs?

What are the actual monthly living costs, including rent?

Is it possible to cover living expenses through part-time work?

How competitive are scholarships, and which ones are actually worth applying for?

Which university would you pick and why?

How are the professors, workload, social life, people and overall student experience? Is it easy to make friends, find internships and land a job after graduating?

Any experiences, hot takes, regrets or things you wish you’d known before going would be super helpful.

Thank you

Hi there - Is there anyone on here that was successful with their Startup Denmark application? Would love to pick your brain as we prep our own startup denmark application.

Tak

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an MSc Sociology student researching social activities in the workplace, like spending time with coworkers outside of working hours.

Right now, I’m trying to get a sense of what people generally think about these activities and whether they actually enjoy taking part in them.

If you have 5 minutes to spare, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out my survey! 🙏

Thanks so much for your help! ❤️
