As the saying goes! The year is in spring, and in Denmark in spring, everything recovers and is full of vitality.
Kindergarten teachers can often be seen taking their children to botanical gardens and parks. At noon, everyone opened the mad pakke carefully prepared by parents to enjoy this wonderful moment. Sometimes, I really envy Danish children, and the school hardly arranges homework. The teaching philosophy is: learn in play.
Mad pakke is a simple meal made by oneself, which mainly refers to lunch, work or outing.
Denmark is a country that pays great attention to environmental protection, and every corner of the city reflects advanced environmental protection concepts. DSB and garbage bags on buses, hand towels recycled in some toilets, and machines specialized in recycling beer bottles and cans in supermarkets. (When buying drinks, deposits will be charged for different bottles), scientific garbage sorting system, basically no disposable cups and plates, etc. This series of systems and arrangements show gratitude to Mother Earth, so Danes have the bluest sky in the world, the clearest water source (tap water in Denmark can be directly drunk) and a very low crime rate.
Summer life of studying in Denmark
Summer is the favorite season for Danes. The reason is simple, there is the sun! When I first came to Denmark, I found that Danes especially like basking in the sun. No matter men, women and children, as long as the weather is good, where there is sun outside, there will be a sea of people. Lawns, park benches and roadside steps are always full of people ... Later, it was gradually discovered that the sun is a luxury for Danes because of its special geographical position (especially in winter). The sunshine in the whole year is basically concentrated in summer, and the sun doesn't set until around 1 1 in the evening (it sounds incredible, but it's true), so there are a lot of outdoor activities in that season. At this time, the friends who live in the villa area will be blessed. Danish landlords will hold bbq festen from time to time, and they can eat and play. We really envy them. Boys also like summer. They often go to Amagerstranden to enjoy bikini's Nordic beauties. Feel the rare enthusiasm of the Danish people under the sunshine and beach. Walking in the bustling streets, tourists weaving, street performers performing, open-air jazz performances, Copenhagen carnival activities and gay parades are all launched in July and August. Those who like lively friends should get ready in advance. In addition, amusement parks such as Tivoli, Barken and Legoland are also good choices. There are many Nordic surprises and happiness waiting for you to discover.
Amagerstranden refers to the Amager beach, which is located in Amager Beach in the east of Copenhagen. In summer, Amager Beach Park is very lively, and there will be various sports and rock concerts, and new people will choose to hold beach weddings here.
Autumn life of studying in Denmark
In autumn in Denmark, the climate is pleasant, beautiful and comfortable. Every year in the 42nd week, around the middle of 10, we will have a very strange festival, Potato Festival (it is said that in Denmark before, students had to help their families dig potatoes to save food for the long winter). Although the Potato Festival can take a day off, many students will travel in cut class, because the summer peak season has passed, and the travel price will be very cheap. Are we good at make fun?
Noodles 818, Danish national treasure food, potatoes. Danes love potatoes. They cook potatoes with lamb chops, roast cheese potatoes with steak, fried potatoes with cauliflower ... Every Dane can name more than ten kinds of potato dishes. I don't like potatoes at home, but I resisted the temptation of potatoes and went to the supermarket to buy onions, carrots and cabbage instead. Denmark's agriculture and animal husbandry are very developed, and the government's subsidies to these industries are great, so the price of organic vegetables is very close to the people. For example, a bag of organic carrots 1.5 kg, almost as long as 10 kronor (according to the exchange rate at that time, it was about 12 RMB), is it a great value feeling?
Autumn in Denmark is very short. The temperature dropped to 0 degrees in your carelessness, the heating in the room has been turned on, and the winter season is about to start. I am still busy every day, going back and forth to universities, language schools and places where I work and enjoying every day there.
Winter life of studying in Denmark
Winter in Denmark is cold and long. The next day I arrived was Sunday. I wanted to go out with my friends to get familiar with the terrain, but I found that all the shops were closed except 7- 1 1, plsevogn on the street and some restaurants. We from Shanghai are puzzled. Doesn't the boss want to make money on Sunday? Later, I learned that Sunday is a rest day for Danes, that is, a day to rest with my family. How leisurely they are! This is my first impression to the Danes.
Plsevogn is a hot dog booth. Danes like to eat hot dogs very much. Many foreign students don't like winter in Denmark (influenced by the Arctic Circle), because it gets dark very early (usually it is completely dark outside around 4 pm), but I still like its special atmosphere. Although it is dark and cold outside, there is warm lys at home. There crazy be a lot of Jul-specific foods and desserts (now I think of the taste of Risalamande, and my mouth is watering). The most important thing is that the store is starting to offer discounts! ! ! O(∩_∩)O The discount in Denmark is the most unbelievable and direct I have ever seen. They directly discount the original price (without high original price), and it is still the goods of the season! I definitely bought it in buy buy, and I can't stop. I H& bought 2-3 fold Ecco, 50% off Gucci and 50 yuan's H&; M coat, not too cost-effective.
Lys means light, which means that there are soft and warm lights at home to "accompany" Joyce for the winter.
Jul is Christmas.
Risalamande is rice pudding, a local specialty dessert that Danes like very much. The ingredients are rice, milk, almonds, jam and so on.
Tourism season for studying in Denmark
There are really many holidays in Denmark. Besides the summer vacation, we also have holidays such as Easter, Potato Festival and Jesus ascensiontide. Low-cost airlines in Europe often have tickets of 1 yuan+many countries offer preferential or free tickets to students, so traveling has become my happiest entertainment (an essential part of studying abroad). When I was a student, everyone was not rich and paid special attention to the cost of travel, so searching for cheap air tickets became a common practice. Whoever finds a cheap air ticket, let's talk to each other, plan our trip, and see if there are any countries around us that can take a trip together ... Under such a system of mutual help, I successfully traveled around the world. The happiest time was going to Greece. I told my classmates in the morning that I really wanted to go to Greece during the summer vacation. As a result, the next day, a low-cost airline reported in metro express that their direct flight to Athens was special, and immediately placed an order & Plan your trip. The most surprising thing is that Greece also implements a basic free policy of museums, scenic spots and tickets for European students. I am happy to save dozens of euros by relying on the student ID card of Copenhagen University.
What are the conditions for applying for studying in Denmark?
First, the advantages of studying in Denmark
1, the international learning environment for studying in Denmark
Many universities have English-taught majors, which eliminates the stage of students learning local languages before and after going abroad, saving time and expenses for studying abroad. As long as China students take the TOEFL or IELTS test, they don't need additional language examination if they meet the standards required by Denmark. There is a good international teaching atmosphere, especially the language environment, and the quality of education is very high.
2. The cost of living in Denmark is relatively low.
Denmark is famous for its good social welfare system. The average annual living expenses are around 60,000-80,000 RMB (including accommodation, meals, transportation and books). This is obviously much cheaper than studying in countries such as Britain and America.
3. The visa for studying in Denmark is high.
As long as there is an invitation letter or admission notice from a Danish university, the probability of being rejected is very small.
4. The working conditions for studying in Denmark are relaxed.
In the first year of studying in Denmark, students can legally work during the holiday months. After living in 18 months, you can also add 18 hours of working time every week. The minimum wage in Denmark is 70 yuan RMB/hour.
5. Schengen countries studying in Denmark
Denmark belongs to the Schengen agreement countries in Europe. As long as you get a Danish study visa, you can enter and leave more than 20 countries in continental Europe, such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, etc., without a visa.
Second, the conditions for studying abroad
1, language ability
Children should have a certain foreign language foundation and learning ability. After all, language is an important means of communication, especially in foreign study and life, many problems are caused by children's lack of language ability.
2. Financial ability
In terms of capital preparation, we must first prepare sufficient funds. Generally speaking, only the deposits in the bank can be used as collateral. Different countries have different regulations on the time when collateral is deposited in banks. Some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, can apply for loans if the deposit time is not long enough. Countries have different requirements for the amount of the deposit, please consult the relevant departments for details.
In addition to having enough money, you also need to prove that it was obtained through legal channels, which is one of the main reasons why some parents provided a lot of proof of funds, but they were still rejected because they did not have a professional and comprehensive explanation and arrangement.
3. Mental ability
This is often overlooked. In fact, it is very important for both parents and children. When he goes to another strange country, even if he has relatives and friends to take care of him, he has to deal with many things alone, such as how to deal with homesickness, how to get along with local people, how to adapt to local food, how to deal with study pressure and so on. As parents, they should know some common sense about studying and living abroad. If they have time, they can attend some overseas students' experience sharing meetings and pre-departure counseling activities.
Iii. Application materials for studying in Denmark

After receiving all the documents, the embassy will forward the application to the Danish Immigration Bureau. It takes about 2-3 months for the Immigration Bureau to make a decision. The embassy will inform me as soon as the results are available.
