This is after deducting expenses for their education, according to a study by Danish think-tank DEA. <\/p>\n<p>While students are expensive to support during their education, they later contribute signifcantly to the state\u2019s finances by paying taxes on their income. Students staying in Denmark after their graduation return what the state invested. <\/p>\n<p>The DEA examined the impact of the international students who graduated on the Danish state. The report comes at a point of political debate across Europe about the impact of student mobility on public finances and study systems.<\/p>\n<h2>Master’s students a good investment<\/h2>\n<p>The report analysed official data on public expenditure on students, including money paid to universities, student subsidies and other social benefits. This was weighed against the income tax paid by graduates and students. <\/p>\n<p>It found that a large group of Master’s graduates are remaining in Denmark long after graduating, which means they offset the state’s expenditure on them (and those that have left) by working and paying tax. <\/p>\n<p>It also found that Master’s students are quick to find employment, which results in a low \u201cbreak-even-point\u201d. After working in Denmark for 13 months after graduating, most Master’s students have on average, paid more in taxes than has been spent on their education. <\/p>\n<h2>Bachelors students – more costs<\/h2>\n<p>However international graduates from a “medium-long” education or Bachelor do not, on average, remain in Denmark long enough to generate tax income which outweighs the state’s expenses on them. <\/p>\n<p>The researchers at DEA attribute this to \u201cthe Danish labour market being less geared towards that type of education\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>However since Master’s students account for two-thirds of all international students, the study considered international students overall as a profitable investment for Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/dea.nu\/sites\/dea.nu\/files\/samfundsoekonomisk_analyse_af_internationale_studerende.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> full DEA report here <\/a> in Danish. <\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
