Working in Denmark after your studies Denmark is often said to be the happiest country in the world. Ghina Septia Filiana thinks she knows why after spending three years in the country. Originally from Indonesia she came to study at Aarhus University and she has now settled in Denmark and started a career at the world leading pump solutions company, Grundfos. And she intends to stay in Denmark.

Working while studying

International students in Denmark have the right to work while you live here. Many students in Denmark hold a part-time job. If you are from Indonesia and a non-EU citizen, you may work in Denmark for up to 20 hours a week and full-time during June, July and August. 




Working in Denmark

After having completed a full degree from Aarhus University why not stay in Denmark and look for a job?

Indonesian students who have been granted a residence permit to complete a higher educational programme in Denmark automatically get a 3-year job-seeking period after graduation with their study permit. 
Graduates can apply for a work permit without limitations, even without a job offer if they wish to work unlimited hours outside of June, July, and August.

The excellent stay-back options are a perfect opportunity for Indonesian graduates to explore job opportunities in Denmark and pursue career aspirations.
