RELOCATE TO DENMARK WITH EASE

RELOCATIONSummer 2014

For many reasons, foreigners from all over the globe choose to

make Denmark their home, and to help make the choice and

transition that much easier, this supplement provides you with

all you need to know about making Denmark your home.

why denmark?As you will discover Denmark is the place to be for many reasons…

Your welfare in mindThe Danish welfare society is characterised by a high rate of economic

growth and a high standard of living. In Denmark, citizens are financial-

ly insured, e.g. in case of illness and old age. The principle of the Danish

welfare system is that all citizens have equal access to social services

regardless of their social background or origin.

truly international countryAs a foreign national, it is possible to get by easily in Denmark without

speaking Danish from the start. Danes typically speak many different

foreign languages and welcome the opportunity to put these skills to

use. Nearly all Danes speak English, many speak German, and one out

of ten Danes speaks French. Some Danes also speak Spanish or Italian.

diverse businessDenmark is known for being among the world leaders in a number of

fields of production and services, including; agricultural goods, furniture

and clothing, interior design, sea freight, wind turbines, medicines and

assistive medical technologies, equipment for automatic cooling and

heating, sensitive measuring instruments, IT and communications.

Favourable working conditionsDanish business culture is characterised by a horizontal structure and

open dialogue between management and employees, and much is

done to ensure a good working environment. Danish companies offer

good working conditions, modern facilities and high-quality technical

equipment. Competence development is highly prioritised and most

workplaces regularly offer continuing education to their employees.

And many more reasons inside…

Welcome to Denmark

the united nations Sustainable development Solutions net-

work released a survey in 2013, which took a look at happiness

in countries, and denmark was the winner. denmark is happy

for many reasons, the country supports parents and families

by allowing them additional time for parental leave, danish

citizens also receive healthcare as a basic right, gender equal-

ity is prioritised, biking is considered the norm, and citizens

feel a responsibility toward one another.

1. Learn the LanguageIn language, as well as in culture, Denmark is

closely related to the other Nordic countries.

Danish is a difficult language for foreigners to

learn quickly unless they have a particular fa-

cility with languages. Most Danes understand

and speak some English. Many, especially in

the metropolitan areas speak English fluent-

ly.

If you have the wish to adapt to their society,

you must learn Danish, maybe not to find a

job, or to study, but to be one of the Danes.

Ask about language courses provided by the

municipality in which you live. Programmes

usually last up to three years and are free of

charge if you fulfil the requirements (that are

usually being over 18 and in possession of a

CPR number).

top tip: Just concentrate on using the ‘h’ words. heJ, hiLS and hYggeLig. You can work them into any conver-sation. use them liberally and don’t forget to gush.

2. Banking and moneYAll international credit cards are accepted

throughout Denmark. However, many shops

require a credit card that uses the “chip and

PIN” system. Even shops that use a magnet-

ic card reader will often require a PIN in lieu

of a signature. If your card does not use the

“chip and PIN” system consult with your bank

Checklist

YourSurvivaLcheckLiSt

relocating to denmark from another country can be a daunting prospect, with many factors to consider when making your move. deciding on where in denmark to live, finding a job and getting ac-customed to the family culture are a few of the top priorities a new resident must consider, but there are many more seem-ingly-insignificant (but just as important) things you should be aware of if you are new to denmark. here are 8 on our checklist…

about obtaining a PIN for your credit card. Of-

ten debit cards cannot be used for anything

other than withdrawing cash from an ATM.

ATMs are placed throughout the country and

always outside banks.

Banking hours: monday – Friday: 10:00am – 4:00pm

3. teLephoneIn Denmark telephone numbers consist of

eight digits. If you are calling from outside

Denmark, the eight digit number must be

preceded by the country code 45, often writ-

ten as +45 followed by the eight digit tele-

phone number. In Greenland and Faroe Is-

lands, the telephone numbers consist of six

digits.

country codes: greenland has country code 299. the Faroe islands country code 298.

4. eLectricitYElectric current is 230V, 50Hz, single phase,

AC. In addition, 380V, 3-phase AC is available

and must be used for automatic dryers and

electric stoves.

5. adJuSt Your taSte BudSApart from having a vast array of different

toppings for their sandwiches, and a dear-

ly beloved bread of their own, they like to

keep things open (when it comes to eating

sandwiches). This does cause problems, but

just follow the Danes, use a knife and fork or

avoid stacking your toppings too high on your

bread, this helps!

6. get a varied wardroBeThe Danish weather can be frightful or fan-

tastic – and usually everything in between.

Be prepared for all seasons in one day – all

before lunchtime. As the Danes say, there’s

no such thing as bad weather… just the wrong

clothing. So embrace it, wear layers and in-

vest in some waterproofs and Wellington

boots. Or discover your inner Viking, strip off

completely and become a winter bather!

7. get a BikeBecoming part of the biking population helps

in many ways; you’ll get from A to B faster,

whilst getting to know places by trying out

different variations on your trips. It also helps

with getting exercise. You’ll feel energised and

you will start to cherish Denmark’s best: Its

bike paths, just remember to always have a

map with you.

When you’re on a bike, bear one thing in mind

– the wind! It is often windy in Denmark and

according to Murphy ’s Law, you will always

have headwind when you’re in a hurry. Wind

can add to your journey times greatly. Take

this point seriously in light of Danish punctu-

ality.

Be aware: Bikes are a serious mode of transportation. people drive fast and mistakes in the bike traffic are not met with tolerance.

8. don’t Forget to SaY thank YouWhen you first learn to speak Danish, you

realise how important gratitude plays into

life and conversation. Every day after dinner,

most kids are expected to give ‘thanks’ to

their parents for making and providing dinner.

Many may feel that the word ‘thanks’ seems

disingenuous and insincere – but in Denmark

you will soon notice how it’s integrated into

nearly all conversations.

top tip: Just concentrate

on using the ‘h’ words.

heJ, hiLS and hYggeLig.

You can work them into

any conversation.

Before you get started:

get regiSteredAll inhabitants in Denmark are registered in

the Civil Registration System (CPR). If you

move to Denmark you must therefore contact

the municipality in which you live in order to

be registered in the CPR. Also, when you work

in Denmark, you must have a tax card. This is

issued to you at the local tax centre. To get a

tax card, you must have a CPR number or a

tax number.

The requirements for your registration in the

CPR and your tax registration depend on how

long you will live in Denmark and on your cit-

izenship. You must also apply for a residence

and work permit or registration certificate if

you do not already have a legal basis for res-

idency.

FamiLiariSe YourSeLF with the tax SYStemEveryone with a job in Denmark pays income

tax to the state and municipality. When you

come to Denmark to work, you must also pay

tax on your salary.

The taxes finance the welfare services to the

entire population. Among other things, this

means that there is free medical help, hospi-

tal treatment and education from folk school

to university. Day-care facilities for children

and youngsters as well as certain healthcare

services such as dental treatment are partially

financed via the taxes and partially user-paid.

Applying and interviews:A job application should be about one A4

page long. This is typically accompanied by

relevant educational certificates, recommen-

dations from past employers and a CV (Cur-

riculum Vitae). It may be useful to enclose an

assessment of your non-Danish qualifications

in order to make them easier to understand for

the Danish employer.

The application is to serve as an appetiser,

whereas the CV is a listing of your experience

and background.

Typically, you will not hear from the company

until after the application deadline, after which

time you can be called in for an interview. In

some fields, it has become common to use

personality tests and some other tests may

also be used.

There are several organisations and authori-

ties ready to assist you in your job hunt. At

these organisations you can get help improv-

ing your résumé and get advice on the Dan-

ish job market. Jobcenter Copenhagen Inter-

national is one such organisation, and offers

advice on:

✔Job search in Denmark

✔Relevant courses in relation to job

searching

✔Salary, subsidy and internship

✔Education in Denmark

Working culture in Denmark: Most Danish workplaces are characterised

by a horizontal structure and open dialogue

between management and employees. The

working culture is cooperation-oriented and

the working environment is marked by open

and informal social conventions.

Many Danes are very interested in their work

and Danish employees are considered moti-

vated and committed. Danish workplaces of-

fer very good working conditions, modern fa-

cilities and high-quality technical equipment.

Competence development is highly prioritised

and most workplaces regularly offer continu-

ing education to their employees.

ment and salaries are generally regulated by

Working in Denmark

whYwork indenmark?

in recent years, denmark has attracted foreign labour to a large number of industries. the country expects that in the coming years there will be an in-creasing need for foreign labour. if you are in the market for a job, but un-sure of how to go about finding employment, con-sider this how-to guide for foreign nationals…

collective agreements reached by trade unions and employer as-

sociations.

Thus, employment conditions are widely regulated by collective

agreement reached by the various players in the labour market,

for instance, they determine working hours, minimum salaries and

terms of notice. For example, there is no legally stipulated mini-

mum wage in Denmark. The aforementioned parties have the re-

sponsibility of upholding these collective agreements.

The system of laws governing the labour market is underpinned by

the fact that 60 percent of Danish workers are members of a trade

union. Foreign workers and companies can also become members

of the Danish organisations.

In Denmark, it is only in exceptional cases that labour market con-

ditions are regulated by law. However, there are minimum require-

ments set by law in some areas. Examples of these include: The

Danish Holidays Act, the Danish Employment Contract Act, the

Danish Act on Equal Treatment, the Danish Act on Allowance for

Illness or Parental Leave, etc.

If an employer is not a member of an employer organisation or

has concluded an adhesion agreement, the terms of employment

are regulated by the contract agreed to between the employer and

employee and the legally stipulated minimum requirements.

trade unionSTrade unions assist with cases regarding pay and working condi-

tions and can help in connection with work-related injury cases, re-

habilitation and much more. Some trade unions can also offer per-

sonal consultancy and career planning or offer discount schemes

on petrol, shopping centres, insurance, etc. These offers vary ac-

cording to the industry with which the trade union is associated.

Your choice of trade union depends on your training/position and

workplace. The various trade unions are associated with specific

unemployment insurance funds, but you do not need to be a mem-

ber of both a trade union and an unemployment insurance fund

– it is possible to be a member of just one of these organisations,

independently of the other.

how do You Become a BuSineSS owner?EU citizens are permitted to establish a self-owned business in

Denmark and may reside in Denmark to operate such a business.

Companies that are founded in Denmark must be registered with

the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency no later than eight

days prior to the commencement of dutiable activities.

In some cases, it is also necessary to register with other special

authorities. In the food industry, for example, it is often also nec-

essary to register with or obtain authorisation from the local food

authority.

The Danish Commerce and Companies Agency sends information

to the Danish tax authorities (SKAT), as the company must be VAT

registered.

All companies must have a Central Business Register number (CVR

to public authorities and private entities - e.g. in connection with issuing

business, or if it is actually more of a form of employment for a Danish

Aside from your work life, family is very im-

portant in Denmark, and amercing your fam-

ily into Danish culture and the lifestyle will

make your relocation to this new land a more

fulfilling one.

daniSh cuLture and LiFeStYLeDenmark was once known and feared for

its Viking warriors. Today Denmark has de-

veloped into a peace-loving and prosperous

country where most people live modern lives.

The Danish lifestyle model is centred on the

Danish society where the democratically

elected government always seeks to pro-

vide better living conditions for its citizens.

The high tax the Danes pay is used by the

government to provide a high level of social

security, healthcare services, a good edu-

cational system and to support the Danish

cultural life. Most Danes focus on having a

good family life, work life and social life. In

Denmark women and men are equal by law.

Danish women and men are independent and

normally both work in order to provide a high

living standard for their family.

The Danes are proud of their rich cultural

heritage and often attend cultural events.

Denmark has many skilful architects, art-

ist, musicians, actors, movie directors, ballet

dancers, opera singers and others who enrich

the Danish cultural life. As a modern Danish

family, your family can be expected to visit

art exhibitions, film festivals, concerts, plays,

ballets, operas or simply enjoy the old and

modern architecture you can find in Danish

cities and in the countryside.

The Danes are very much aware of their high

standard of living. Therefore they have also

become a generous people always ready to

donate money and provide help to people in

need all around the world. The Danish state

also provides help for people in need in con-

nection with food crisis and natural disasters.

a SaFe countrY to Live inForeign nationals who come to Denmark of-

ten cite safety and security as the country’s

most important characteristics. Children walk

to school alone and even well-known lead-

ers in the business community do not have

to surround themselves with bodyguards. The

country’s parliament, the Folketing, is open to

everyone and it is not unusual to see a gov-

ernment minister cycling through the city.

Even the Queen can shop in Copenhagen or

Århus with a minimum of bodyguards! But

this notion of security is not just fiction, it is

reflected in the statistics that show the crime

rate in Denmark is among the lowest in the

world.

Family in Denmark

FamiLY & careera heaLthYBaLance

Studies have shown that a majority of foreign nation-al workers in denmark felt that their quality of life increased while living in denmark. this is the result of many factors, but many highlight the positive balance between family and career in denmark.

With the importance of recruit-ing and retaining highly skilled talent in Denmark, how would potential new hires benefit

from a traditional ‘Orientation Tour’? This type of service used both before and after a candidate has signed an employment con-tract, tends to be offered more when econo-mies are booming. Long-term effects of hav-ing the service may be farther reaching than they seem at first glance.

An essential part of relocating is knowing what to expect. One of the basic goals when arriving to a new destination is finding out where things are located. Orientation tours offer insight into both cultural and social inte-gration. A seasoned relocation consultant will highlight your questions throughout the day. S/he will also focus on the positive aspects of living in Denmark and mention interesting statistics.

Benefits of this type of firsthand knowledge are significant, as informed decisions lower stress levels and are longer lasting.

Although Orientation Tours mainly benefit the employee, they can also help the employer to understand the candidate better as construc-tive feedback is provided to Human Resources after the tour.

The value of an Orientation Tour is clear and two-fold as it helps both the employer and the employee to understand the new role, the people involved and familiarisation of the destination. In turn, better decisions are made which yields:

✱ The nuclear family is the centre of the social structure.

✱ Children are raised to be independent from an early age. Most

are put in day-care centres at about one year old. The Danish

government subsidises child care through the local “kommunes”

(roughly equivalent to a municipal/regional government).

✱ Marriage is not a prerequisite to starting a family. Many couples

live together without legalising the arrangement with marriage.

✱ Men are more actively involved in child-rearing activities than in

many countries, although the division of domestic chores is similar

Relocating to a new country alone may be a

daunting prospect, let alone doing it with your

family. Whether you are staring life in Den-

mark with your family or plan to raise children

in Denmark in the future, ensuring that both

you and your children are properly educated

and schooled in the Danish system will see

you integrated fully into Danish society, whilst

receiving a quality education.

With many high-quality public and private

schools as well as various international and

adult learning programmes on offer in De-

mark, the decision on which school is best suit-

ed to yours and your family’s needs may be a

difficult one. To get you started we have put

together a list of all you need to know in order

to receive the best education in Denmark.

overview oF the LeveLS oF education in denmarkBefore starting pre-school most children in

Denmark benefit from day-care services such

as nurseries and kindergarten. Pre-school,

which is optional, is followed by nine years of

compulsory education in primary and lower

secondary school. There is an optional tenth

form. The upper secondary education system

includes a range of opportunities. Academic

programmes allow students to apply for entry

to higher education. Vocational programmes

are aimed at direct entry to the labour market.

Here is a list of the six levels or stages of

schooling on offer in Denmark:

✔Pre-school

✔Primary and lower secondary education

✔Upper secondary education

✔Vocational education and training

✔Higher education

✔Adult learning

puBLic SchooLSEducation is compulsory for children between

the ages of six and 16, with the tenth year be-

ing optional. Your child must be admitted to a

pre-school class in the calendar year of their

sixth birthday.

Education in Denmark is free and is financed

by the state and the municipalities. Universi-

ties are also free for Danish, Nordic and EU

citizens.

Pupils’ acquisition of knowledge and skills is

the goal of education in the primary and lower

secondary schools. Another goal is preparing

pupils for continuing higher education. Yet

another objective is preparing pupils for par-

ticipation, responsibility, rights and duties in a

free and democratic society. Laws pertaining

to the public schools take their point of depar-

ture in collaboration between the schools and

the parents.

private SchooLSDenmark has a long tradition of private

schools with a substantial government subsi-

dy. Private schools in Denmark may be rough-

ly divided into the following categories: Small

independent schools in rural districts (friskol-

er), large independent schools in urban dis-

tricts (privatskoler), religious or congregational

schools, progressive free schools and schools

with a particular educational aim. The bottom

line is that private schools will be recognised

and receive government financing regardless

of the ideological, religious, political or ethnic

motivation behind their establishment. It is

characteristic of the private schools that they

are smaller than the municipal schools.

All that is demanded of private education is

that it measures up to that of the municipal

schools. The small independent schools with a

9th class hold the Leaving Examination of the

Primary and Lower Secondary School, unless

they have informed the Ministry of Educa-

tion that they will not hold the examination.

However, in principle it is not up to any gov-

ernment authority but to the parents of each

private school to check that its performance

measures up to the demands of the municipal

schools. It is the parents themselves who must

choose supervisors to check the pupil’s level

of achievement in Danish, arithmetic, mathe-

matics and English and whether in general the

overall teaching of the school measures up to

what is normally demanded in the municipal

Education in Denmark

QuaLitY educationFor You andYour kidS

the danish education system offers high quality education and training at all levels

school. If the pupil’s knowledge is found inadequate, the supervisor

must report it to the Ministry of Education.

The private schools receive a grant (”per pupil per year”) for their

operational expenditures, which in principle matches the public ex-

penditures in the municipal schools less the private school fees paid

by the parents. This is to ensure that public expenditures for the pri-

vate and municipal schools, follow the same trend. There are also

a number of special grants, such as grants towards expenditures

incurred in connection with the teaching of pupils with learning dis-

abilities or other special needs. These grants are awarded on the

basis of a case-by-case assessment.

internationaL SchooLS & non-engLiSh LearningIn Denmark there are English, French and German internation-

al schools; all are private elementary schools. International basic

schools are private elementary schools approved by the Ministry

of Education for education in other languages than Danish – either

for the whole school or for divisions within it. Schools must apply

to become recognised international schools, and approval is usu-

ally granted if the school or one of its divisions primarily cater for

children with foreign parents, who live in Denmark and remain in

Denmark for a shorter space of time.

Children whose first language is not Danish are offered training

in Danish as a second language in primary and lower secondary

schools. The pre-school year also offers language stimulation train-

ing for bilingual children. Language stimulation is mandatory for

children who need it. This is assessed by local municipal authorities.

Local municipalities can provide information about finding a tutor,

who can help children with language and other subjects.

the daniSh heaLth care SYStemThe Danish egalitarian state provides free

health care to all permanent residents re-

gardless of their economic situation. Every-

body, who is a permanent resident in Den-

mark, and EU citizens, can benefit from the

Danish health care system – even those who

are not Danish nationals. Free emergency

treatment is also available to visitors from all

other countries.

The quality of Denmark’s health system

is extremely high; on the same level as the

medical care you find in many other Western

European countries. Hospitals in Denmark

have excellent facilities, and most doctors

and dentists speak English. The Ministry of

Health has a coordinating and supervisory

role, but no operational responsibilities for

health services. Working in close cooperation

with the government and municipalities, the

five regions are responsible for hospitals and

primary care. Regions have wide powers to

organise the health services for their citizens,

according to regional wishes and possibilities

and can adjust services and staff, etc., ac-

cording to needs at the different levels.

the daniSh heaLth SYStem iS divided into two SectorS:Primary health care: This sector deals with

general health problems and is usually the

first point of contact if you require general

medical treatment. Services in this sector

are available to everyone, and include treat-

ments from general practitioners, dentists,

physiotherapists, etc. General Practitioners

occupy a central position in the Danish health

service. This is due to the fact that GPs are

the patients’ primary contact with the health

service. People must be examined by their

own GPs before they can be examined and

treated by a specialist doctor.

Hospital sector: Hospitals are responsible for

patients who require more specialised medi-

cal treatment, for example intensive care or

the need for specialist equipment. Hospitals

are responsible for specialised examinations,

illnesses which it would otherwise not be

For the most part the danish health care ser-vice is characterised by being publicly financed through taxes and largely run directly by the public authorities. a notable ex-ception is dentistry which is regarded as a separate area and only partly pub-licly funded. medical ser-vices are thus for the most part free of charge with the exception of dentistry.

Practitioner or his/her substitute. It is also

the patients’ right to visit a different Gen-

eral Practitioner without extra charge while

they are temporarily outside their own gen-

eral practitioner’s catchment area in case of

sudden illness, accident, etc.

People insured under Group 2: Receive part

of the cost of medical care from a General

Practitioner. The subsidy they receive cor-

responds to the cost of similar medical care

from a General Practitioner for people in

Group 1. However, people in Group 2 may

visit any specialist without visiting their

General Practitioner first.

When registering with the Civil Registration

System you must choose whether you want

to be insured in Group 1 or Group 2.

Upon registering with the Civil Registration

System, you will receive a national health

insurance card (‘Sygesikringskort’). The card

is your proof that you are entitled to all

public healthcare services in Denmark and

must be presented at all visits to doctors,

hospitals and at pharmacists when collect-

ing prescription drugs.

The card states your name, address and

your Civil Personal Registration (CPR) num-

ber as well as the name and address of your

doctor. It also provides healthcare coverage

for up to one month on holiday trips within

the EU/EEA and Switzerland.

internationaL StudentSAs an international student and resident in

Denmark you will have access to free med-

ical treatments with some exceptions, such

as dental care and physiotherapy. Here is

what all you need to know:

Students from outside the EU/EEA: In ac-

cordance with the Danish Health Act, all

non-residents staying in Denmark are en-

titled to emergency hospital care free of

charge ‘in the event of an accident, child-

birth, acute illness or sudden aggravation

of a chronic disease’. All other healthcare

services must be paid for by you or your

insurance.

Students from the EU/EEA or Switzerland:

If you are an EU/EEA citizen or a Swiss na-

tional and you plan to stay in Denmark for

less than three months, and provided you

are covered by a statutory health insur-

ance service in another EU country, you can

use your European Health Insurance Card

(EHIC) to access any healthcare service that

becomes medically necessary during your

stay in Denmark. You will enjoy the same

healthcare services offered to residents in

Denmark and the charge for these services

will be forwarded to the statutory health in-

surance service that issued the EHIC.

Students from the Nordic countries need

not show any of these documents and stu-

dents from the UK need only show their UK

passport.Sour

Setting up home in denmarkThere are certain essential domestic services

you’ll need for your home in Denmark. Here

is a list of domestic services you need to be

aware of if you are looking to relocate to

Denmark:

Denmark prioritises renewable energy;

wind power and biomass are the country’s

most important renewable energy sources.

Electricity voltage is 230V 50Hz. Plugs are

European and consist of two circular metal

pins.

A civil registration number or CPR

number is a prerequisite to becoming a

customer of a Danish utility provider. It is

therefore practically impossible to connect

utilities and a telephone before moving to

Denmark and registering with the local

municipality. Utility services include:

Electricity, gas and water.

to rent or BuY?As you first arrive in Denmark you are tasked with finding a place to call home, this is when you must decide where you are to live (cen-trality and ease of access to your work are most common determining factors), and also deciding whether you should rent or buy a

home in your new country.

The vast majority of foreign workers choose

rented accommodation, especially if they are

only staying in Denmark for a short while.

Depending on your finances and the duration

of your stay, you may also choose to buy a

property or part of one.

Housing in Denmark

when purchasing or

leasing your house or

BuYingShould buying a property be an option

for you, there are some restrictions on

foreigners wanting to buy property in

Denmark that you should be aware of

before you get your mind set on owning

property:

Unless foreigners are permanent resi-

dents in Denmark and have lived in the

country for a period of at least five con-

secutive years, Danish law states that

they must obtain permission from the

Danish Ministry of Justice (Justitsminis-

teriet) to buy property.

Residents of European Union countries,

or companies domiciled in a member

state can, in some circumstances, buy

property without first obtaining permis-

sion from the Ministry of Justice: For

example, if the property is to be used

as a permanent residence. In all cas-

es, the Civil Law Division of the Danish

Ministry of Justice should be contacted

in advance.

Permission is generally granted if the

property is to be used as a permanent

residence and inhabited all year round.

There are also restrictions on foreigners

buying holiday homes in popular areas

of the Danish coast.

the most easily found rental accomodation is privately-owned

and leased by a landlord or property agency on their behalf.

rentaLSRented accommodation can be found in the major

national Danish newspapers such as Jyllands-Pos-

ten, Berlingske Tidende and Politiken or in major re-

gional newspapers such as JydskeVestkysten. Look

under the heading Bolig (accommodation). However,

most Danish rental properties are marketed through

real estate agencies with a letting department.

Renting private housing (privat bolig): The most eas-

ily found rental accommodation is privately-owned

and leased by a landlord or property agency on their

behalf. Furnished property is generally available for

short-term rental only. Houses and apartments avail-

able long-term are usually rented unfurnished. An

unfurnished property may have a kitchen equipped

with basic appliances such as an oven and fridge.

Check with the landlord or agency on the furniture

and equipment provided and make sure this is de-

clared in the contract. Monthly rental costs are much

lower for unfurnished properties than furnished ones.

Renting public housing (almen bolig): Much of Den-

mark’s rental accommodation is in public housing,

which is owned by non-profit/subsidised housing as-

sociations. Everyone has the right to apply for public

housing, which is usually cheaper than private hous-

ing. Public housing is available for long-term rental

only. To get on a waiting list, apply in writing to the

local social housing organisations or enquire at the

local municipal housing authority.

Renting from a tenant (rooms - Værelser): Tenants

may sublet rooms in a rental property in Denmark. A

tenant may sublet up to half the rooms in a property

but the number of people renting may not exceed

the number of rooms. Subletting agreements must

be made in writing and the tenant sends a copy to

the owner before the sublet period begins. A sublet

rental contract may not be for a period longer than

two years. The tenant is responsible for damage

caused by their sub letter.

There are numerous ways to get around in

Denmark. Long distances can be covered by

plane, train, bus or car. Denmark has more

than 2,600 kilometres of railway and more

than 70,000 kilometres of road, of which

1,100 kilometres are motorway. For travel

within cities such as Copenhagen, cycling is

becoming increasingly popular for its envi-

ronmentally ‘green’ value and ease at which

to travel the busy city streets.

Long-diStance traveLIt’s easy to get around Denmark by pub-

lic transport. Distances between places are

short, so you can get from one end of the

country to the other relatively quickly.

Local and regional buses are not as common

and frequent as they used to be, but still

operate in most parts of the country. Long

distance buses connect the major cities of

Copenhagen, Odense, Aarhus and Aalborg.

There are 23 airports in Denmark, of which

five are international. Copenhagen and Bil-

lund are the two principal airports.

Denmark has a great number of islands.

Some of them are connected to the mainland

by bridges while others can be reached by

ferry. There are ferries connecting Sealand,

of transport. It is estimated that there are more than four million bicycles

in Denmark and more than 10,000 kilometres of designated cycle tracks

cle. Copenhagen has around 400 kilometres of designated cycle tracks

and more than a third of Copenhageners commute by bike every day.

The Danish national rail operator DSB operates reg-

ular train services between Copenhagen and towns

across Denmark and southern Sweden. A train from

Copenhagen to Aarhus will take three hours, to Aal-

borg four hours and to Odense half an hour. You can

see train routes, find times and book train tickets

with DSB by calling +45 70 13 14 15. There is also the

option of booking via the DSB website, where they

have a handy tutorial on how to use their Danish

booking system.

Non-European travellers in Denmark can take ad-

vantage of the Eurail Denmark Pass, for cheap train

travel in and around Denmark. Eurail also offers

a Europe-wide Eurail pass which includes travel in

Denmark. If you are a European citizen, you can use

the InterRail Denmark Pass instead, for cheap rail

travel round Denmark, or the InterRail Pass around

Europe.

nen.dk is a useful tool, available in an English lan-

guage version, which combines all forms of public

transport.

puBLic tranSport in copenhagenCopenhagen has an extended bus network as well as

a local train network, the “S-train”, with 84 stations

throughout Copenhagen and its suburbs. Around

360,000 people use the S-train every day. Copenha-

gen also has a Metro, which serves the more central

parts of Copenhagen and currently has a total of 22

stations. The Metro network will be expanded with

an additional 17 stations by 2018. Approximately one

million people use the Metro every week. The train

services in Copenhagen are linked with an extensive

bus network; the bus services are affordable and

make travelling through the city more manageable.

These last years, we at CLAVIS have

moved from a focus on how many

hours can each students have, to-

wards how fast can the learning

take place. We have shifted our focus from

more to better – from quantity to quality and

the learning has increased.

Fast progression has been reached through

innovative course planning and methodology

– especially by creating our own teaching ma-

terial. Hence, we have chosen to use the last

2-3 years and many resources to develop our

own blended learning material ‘Velkommen’.

And this is in favour for busy language stu-

dents.

Our material is designed for busy people

and people who are on the move. It can be

accessed via iPhone and other smartphones,

iPad and other tablets, computers, smartboard

and of course also in hardcopy. The hardcopy

has QR-codes, making audio files and digital

exercises from the paper lessons available to

practice via smartphones and tablets as well.

‘Velkommen’ takes into account all the min-

isterial, progression and module test require-

ments and it is developed to meet the job

market and study related focus of Introdansk

which we, at CLAVIS, have named In2danish.

As of January 1st 2014, Introdansk/CLAVIS In-

2danish is a free Danish class offer, which is

given to most foreigners who come to Den-

mark to work or study.

We started using the material around the turn

of the year in our classes in Copenhagen and

it has been very well received by our new stu-

dents.

At CLAVIS, we are focused on making it as

easy as possible to learn Danish. We have

chosen to have our classrooms right by Nør-

report Station and we have made sure that

students who are on the move can follow the

lessons from a distance, if necessary.

CLAVIS is a nonprofit organization. And pre-

cisely the nonprofit aspect makes is possible

for CLAVIS to invest potential profit in devel-

opment activities that will benefit the students.

Institut Sankt Joseph is a private Catholic

school with a 150 year tradition of provid-

ing an academically challenging, liberal

arts education, which is composed of an

ambitious and caring school environment that

is grounded in professionalism and Catho-

lic-humanistic ideals.

In everyday teaching, value is placed upon

sufficient time for dialogue, reflection and

thoughtfulness, also with relation to existen-

tial/religious questions. It is our goal that our

students’ intellectual, creative and spiritual

development are cultivated simultaneously as

they grow at our school. We offer a vibrant

international environment; with students rep-

resenting over 55 countries and 33 mother

tongues, which makes for a diverse student

body – both culturally and religiously. This

diversity is seen as a positive catalyst for in-

tercultural learning and is in line with the

fact that Institut Sankt Joseph is an inclusive

school, where all are welcome.

intercultural LearningInstitut Sankt Joseph´s Bilingual Programme

is focused not only on language acquisition,

but also cultural acquisition. The ability to

experience the interconnectivenss of lan-

guage and culture is a key element of the

programme. Institut Sankt Joseph wants our

students to see diversity as a positive catalyst

for understanding. In understanding “others”

our students will have the tools to demystify

other cultures and learn how to build bridges

over the obstacles of prejudice. The goal is for

each student to learn how to thrive in complex

intercultural relations.

discover the world every dayStudents in our programme will be encour-

aged to seek out the rich cultural heritage that

exists in Denmark, in addition to the various

other cultures represented by fellow class-

mates at Institut Sankt Joseph. The goal is to

create a class environment where curiousity

and openness lead to discovery.

Bilingual Students Learn more - FasterLeading research in bilingualism shows that

bilingual education is additive learning and not

detrimental to the learning potential of stu-

dents. Studies show that students attain the

same levels of achievement in academic do-

mains such as Math and Science as their peers

in monolingual programmes. In addition,

students achieve a significantly higher level

of proficiency in the additional language of

instruction than that of their peers in a mono-

lingual programme. Another fact of bilingual-

ism is that students develop strong problem

solving skills using cross linguistic strategies.

lish speakers, who are experienced in prepar-

ing students for the Cambridge International

Examinations. Students will navigate the key

stages of the Cambridge international exam-

inations process, which ultimately culminates

in the IGCSE examinations at age 15/16. Com-

pletion of the IGCSE examinations will give

students access to IB gymnasiums in Denmark

and international high schools abroad.

English and Danish as Teaching Languages

The Institut Sankt Joseph International Bilin-

gual Programme will consist of two curricu-

lums, taught in two languages, guided by the

values of one unified school. Approximately

half of the lessons will be taught in Danish

following the dansk fællesmål; whereas, the

other half of the lessons (Math, English and

Science) will be taught in English following the

Cambridge International curriculum. The end

goal is that students are able to excell in both

the Danish and International school systems

while in Denmark, and moreover, give students

and families the flexibility to succeed in Den-

mark and abroad both now and in the future.

authentic integration/internationalisation

The Institut Sankt Joseph International Bilin-

gual Programme is designed for families that

want to experience authentic integration and/

or authentic internationalisation. Students in

this programme will take part in a unique hy-

brid model that has elements of both the Dan-

ish and International school systems, which

will deliver examinations that meet high inter-

national standards, promote internationalisa-

tion, intercultural understanding and bilingual-

ism. The goal is that students and families

have the flexibility to succeed in either Den-

mark or abroad, both now and in the future.

Today, teens are faced with many de-mands especially academically. The International is a residential school which understands the importance

of excellent academic skills and has therefore secured top notch and caring staff to teach the Cambridge Curriculum offered. The In-ternational Cambridge IGCSE (160 countries) as well as The International Baccalaureate (IB, 146 countries) are world-renowned inter-nationally transferable educational systems, which offers students the possibility of pre-paring for studies in their country of choice. In Denmark all major universities acknowledge these systems. Many international families choose these educational systems, in order for their children to education continuity in spite of relocation. The students at the International are typically between 14 and 18 years old and the programme can substitute a Pre-IB pro-gramme at most Danish IB high schools.

a School of LifeThere are several reasons why Denmark is known as one of the safest countries in the world, with some of the happiest people in the world. In Denmark there is a strong tradition of prioritising the wellbeing (physically, men-tally and emotionally) of all citizens, and to protect freedom of expression and freedom of religious choice. The International supports this tradition and firmly believes that person-al and social development is as important as acquiring academic knowledge. This becomes evident through the daily life at the school, where the student through interaction with others is given the opportunity to get to know their personal value, attributes, traits, strength and challenges. The school emphasises values such as acceptance of self and others, taking responsibility for self/finding your purpose, contributing to the betterment of others/na-

ture, discipline in mind and body, exerting your

personal best, honesty, integrity and loyalty.

The school teaches the life skills needed to

succeed in today’s world, including the aware-

ness needed to counteract unhealthy lifestyle

choices. Healthy nutrition and sports are part

of the daily school life, as well as social group

gathering and student dorm responsibili-

ties. “We want the students to feel at home,

supported and inspired here. We want to of-

fer them challenges, subjects of interest and

friends for life. We are more than an academic

school. We offer the students a school of life

and not merely a life of school.” These values

are evident through most of the Danish School

System, but in particular and with greater em-

phasis at The International.

FunThere must be room for play. It is through play

we practice, invent and develop and therefore

The International offers a wide variety of

classes within sports, music and creative arts.

Trips and travel as well. The students can se-

lect classes based on interest every six month,

and with all of the modern, fully equipped

workshop and training facilities, the possibili-

ties are endless.

Beach Location, city and cool neighbors

Located in Vedersø, The International is nest-

ed in some of Denmark’s most amazing na-

ture. Only two miles from the beach (West

Coast), and 20-30 minutes to a larger city

(Ringkøbing or Holstebro) The International

offers a perfect location for youth to enjoy

both nature and city life. In addition it is locat-

ed right next to Vedersø Idætsefterskole (Dan-

ish Sports Boarding School with 130 students)

which provides excellent opportunities for joint

activities.

a wonderful, diverse Student BodyDanish students gain language skills, cultural understanding and find friends worldwide, as do our international students. More and more families see the value of this and therefore choose an international programme and set-ting. We are serious about student welfare! The school has unbendable rules in regards to student safety and whereabouts, and enforces a “zero tolerance” policy when it comes to bul-lying, smoking, drugs and alcohol on school grounds. Our students are a mix of Danish and foreign students and some students attend The International without having their families in Denmark. We have therefore developed a special programme which includes weekend activities, counselors, inclusion in holidays and room for families to visit. We have a deep un-derstanding, of what it means for a student to be away from home and family, and we work with families worldwide to accommodate indi-vidual needs a much as possible.

enrollment and waiting List for 2015Enrollment has opened for the school year of 2015 and because the school seeks to an equal number of girls and boys, there will be sepa-rate waiting list created for the genders.

Østerbro International School was founded in 2009 to meet the needs of the International English-speak-ing community in Copenhagen.

ØIS is committed to excellence in education and the personal growth of every student. We offer small classes and personable, qualified staff. Our students learn in a multicultural communi-ty where each person is respected regardless of nationality, race, or religion. Our goal is to pro-vide students with the best possible programme of academic and personal development in a challenging and supportive environment.

Our school is a safe and happy and child-cen-tred environment in which children are inspired to become purposeful life-long learners. We seek to inspire internationally-minded students and to provide them with the academic and social skills that will enable them to fulfil their human potential as responsible global citizens.

We have an excellent After School Programme and currently offer several After School Clubs to choose from, as well as a Morning Club. Each year we have continued to grow in size and scope; attracting more students and add-ing outdoor play areas, a computer room, a science lab, smart boards to several classrooms and a library.

Summer enrichments programme Summer 2014 is on its way and ØIS is prepar-ing an exciting Summer Program of CARE and CAMP workshops for children entering Grade 1 through 5th Grade. You can enrol your children online now for seven weeks of workshops from June 30 – August 15.

Students are signed up on a weekly basis, so you are able to choose summer activities ac-cording to yours and your children’s busy schedules. Students can join for one week or up to five weeks. The program is designed to in-clude Danish and International students not en-

rolled in Østerbro International School, offering

a fine opportunity to meet new friends, engage

in the English language tuition and experience

our school community.

The Summer Program ends with an exhibi-

tion and performance of work created during

the term and is on display for the first week of

school in August.

Spaces are limited, so enrolment is made upon

receipt of full payment, on a first come first

serve basis. Enrolment closes June 15th. Con-
