Yes, students with a valid study residence permit are allowed to work a limited number of hours during the semester and more during holidays, as per current Danish rules. We will brief you on the latest regulations during counselling.
Danish institutions commonly accept IELTS, TOEFL and sometimes PTE or Cambridge tests. Required scores vary by course and level. Generally, Bachelor’s and Master’s programs expect at least an IELTS 6.0–6.5 equivalent; certain programs may demand higher.
