Whenever I think of my master’s application period, I remember those days when I was looking for information about the programme that I am currently studying in, Visual Anthropology, and whenever I saw the campus name “Moesgaard”, my confusion. I had so many questions spinning around my head: Where is actually Moesgaard? How does it look like? Is it too far from the city centre and the main campus? How is the campus life there? Etc.

Danish, the language of love… Said absolutely no one ever :P Danish is not typically regarded as being as beautiful as the romance languages like French or Italian, but this Nordic language has an undeniable charm. Most Danes speak pretty good English, but learning the local language will help you so much when looking for a job after your studies. Plus, if your future partner turns out to be Danish, it may indeed become a language of love for you one day 😉

Studying in Denmark might be somewhat similar to studying in your home country, or it might be totally different. Either way, there are a few things you should know to make sure you can make the most out of your time studying in the City of Smiles 😊

Indians are famously known to take their kitchen along when they move abroad, and I was no exception! However, the check-in baggage allowance only allowed me to bring so much along when I moved to Aarhus from Bangalore.

First time arriving in Denmark is an exciting moment but in the same time you are unfamiliar with the transportation to reach your destination. There are a few options which you can take to go to Aarhus from the airports in Denmark.

Perhaps you have heard of this phrase while you were doing research on Denmark and its famous weather. There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. This indeed represents the daily life in Denmark.

When I first arrived in Denmark from India, I knew how to ride a bike but had never dared to cruise on the chaotic busy streets of Mumbai. Little did I know how big a part of my life cycling would become.

According to Britannica encyclopedia, Social Capita is a concept that represents the social ties within a society where the degree of trust facilitates the exchange of benefits. In simple terms, as expressed by the former Egyptian President of the World Psychiatric Association,Dr.Ahmed Okasha, Social Capital is the level of Trust and Love within the society.

Moving to Denmark was probably the most expensive thing I have ever done and looking back, there are a couple of things I wish I would have known before. Things that could have saved me money, time, and a loooot of stress. And therefore, for those of you who are new to Denmark (or not that new but just curious) here is the beginner's guide on how to survive in expensive Denmark - part 1.

One of the first things I noticed moving to Denmark was that many things here are a bit expensive, especially when it comes to going out for a meal, or having some drinks in the city. It's no secret that going out for drinks is quite a regular student activity... but how on earth was I going to afford this?

'Unwritten' rules of Danish culture

If you have a company idea and play with the thought of bringing it to life – even while you are still studying – the possibilities in Aarhus for doing so are bigger than you might think.

As the pandemic turned a year, some of the students that moved to Aarhus last year have some experience in moving during the restrictions. So why not share them with you all, that maybe are now struggling in trying to answer your thousands questions on “can I move there?” “should I isolate myself?” “how can I buy food if I arrive and have to go straight away in isolation?” but first of all, “how do I reach Aarhus!?”

The housing market in Aarhus is fairly competitive. For a reason! Aarhus is a beautiful, vibrant city with the highest percentage of students in Denmark. Definitely one of the best places to spend your study years. (A bit biased opinion 😉).

Moving to Denmark from the UK, I assumed that the culture wouldn’t be too different as both countries are situated in Northern Europe and have many historical ties.
