CHECKLIST!
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…
Services:
• Green service
• Private gardens
• Sewer maintenance

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.
use them liberally and
don’t forget to gush.

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
number). The CVR number is the company’s identification num-

ber. The CVR number must be used when a company identifies itself
to public authorities and private entities - e.g. in connection with issuing
invoices, etc.
In connection with this registration, the Danish authorities will carry out
checks to ensure that the company in question is truly an independent
business, or if it is actually more of a form of employment for a Danish
employer.

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

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.

Parents must have a personal
identification number known
as a CPR Number before
they can enrol children in any

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,
treatment and care of physical and mental
illnesses which it would otherwise not be

univerSaLheaLth careFor aLL
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.

two tYpeS oF inSurance groupS:People insured under Group 1: Have the
right to free medical care from their General
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

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,

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

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.
If you are planning a journey in Denmark, rejsepla-
nen.dk is a useful tool, available in an English lan-
guage version, which combines all forms of public
transport.

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. You are welcome to contact us for more informa-tion: Charlotte Vest at cv@vie.dk, or Finn Tar-pgaard at ft@vie.dk, visit the school, browse website at www.theinternational.dk or set up a Skype meeting.

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-
