Denmark - a gateway to Europe

Denmark is located in the Northern part of Europe called Scandinavia. Denmark is north of Germany, south of Norway and southeast of Sweden. This geographic position makes Denmark an excellent gateway for those, who wish to study in Europe and explore Europe and Scandinavia.

Danish universities have exchange programmes with other European universities and are also connected through the Erasmus Mundus programme.

Getting around

Denmark's infrastructure is well developed. The railway network is extensive, the roads are of high standards and are relatively uncongested. The aviation system is among the most developed in the world and the airports have connections to most of the big international airports in the world.  You can fly to capitals like Amsterdam, Berlin and Stockholm in an hour, and, in less than two hours, all the way to Paris, London, Dublin and Prague, to mention a few.

Island kingdom

Denmark consists of the peninsula of Jutland and of 406 islands. A number of bridges connect many of the islands - so you are not at risk of getting your feet wet. The two largest and most densely populated islands are Zealand and Funen. There is a bridge connecting Jutland and Funen, the Little Belt Bridge. And one of the longest bridges in the world, called the Great Belt Bridge, connects Funen with Zealand. The Oresund Bridge, between Denmark and Sweden, connects the two neighbouring countries.
