Rather than choosing a degree for your own sake, choose one for the good of society. Society on a global scale, that is.<\/p>\n<p>Via posters at bus stops and train stations the campaign attempts to address young people\u2019s sense of indignation and social responsibility. One of the posters features an image of a pair of hands behind a fence and a call for \u00bbethical solutions\u00ab. Another states that the world is in need of a greener economy, and an image of a dead fish on a littered beach is accompanied by the message: \u201cBecause the world\u2019s problems aren\u2019t going to fix themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research, Noemi Katznelson, believes the campaign echoes a broader tendency in society.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to predict young people\u2019s preferences when applying to a degree program this year, she highlights the fact that many young people want to put their knowledge to good use, and they are less worried about what their degree can do for them on a personal level.<\/p>\n<p>We may even see this shift in perception as early as July 5 when this year\u2019s <secret text=\"Quota 1 is for people applying solely on the basis of their grades, quota 2 is for applicants who ask to be judged on other qualifications.\">quota 1<\/secret> applications deadline is up.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbMy guess is that we will see an increase in young people who want to make a difference in the world and not just for themselves. I think we are witnessing a shift in perception where the emphasis is on making a difference in society as opposed to personal gain,\u00ab says Noemi Katznelson.<\/p>\n<p>Future students belong to a generation who are not necessarily content with consuming the preexisting knowledge of their teachers, as she puts it. They want to help create that knowledge. And they want to work towards breaking down the traditional distinction between mind and matter, so that theoretical knowledge can be applied as practical solutions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think we are witnessing a shift in perception where emphasis is on making a difference in society as opposed to personal gain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Noemi Katznelson, Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00bbYoung people are not interested in isolating themselves from the rest of society for five years. They want to be part of something that holds meaning for them, and they want to seek out knowledge that is useful and can be applied in the real world,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n<p>She is careful not to highlight specific degree programs \u2013 after all, predicting the future is easier said than done \u2013 but she does expect fields of study that address some of the most pressing global issues will grow.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThose could for instance be interdisciplinary degree programs that focus on climate, sustainability, and technology.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p><em>In your opinion, will we see this tendency play out as early as in the coming admission?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00bbYes, I believe so. I expect that will be the case. In the past, we have had a hard time selling young people on the various scientific disciplines, but I believe this shift will add new meaning to the STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, ed.)\u00ab<\/p>\n<h2>Patience is not a virtue<\/h2>\n<p>Noemi Katznelson\u2019s prediction dovetails neatly with young Danes\u2019 increased interest in climate activism. Across the country\u2019s many schools, students have staged large scale strikes, and at the University of Copenhagen students have demanded more climate specific topics in their coursework \u2013 preferably with an interdisciplinary scope.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from the Danish Evaluation Institute, the shift in perception has the potential to influence the drop-out rate as well. Students who apply to a degree program on the basis of a professional interest have a relatively high likelihood of completing their studies.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Noemi Katznelson the future students\u2019 enterprising spirit could become a challenge for the universities, because many will not be patient enough to bury themselves in books and studies for half a decade. They want to accomplish something right away.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIn previous times, the university has typically had its pick amongst the best and brightest, but in the future the most innovative students may look elsewhere. They may think, \u2018where will I be able to make the biggest impact in the shortest possible time?\u2019\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbTime is of the essence to them. \u2018Why on earth should I spend five years at a university, before I can put the knowledge and skills I already possess to good use? I don\u2019t want to spend five years being groomed for the job market.\u2019\u00ab<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The popular degree programs will definitely be the ones, where young people feel they have a secure future ahead of them. The classic fields of study will probably suffer even more from this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Noemi Katznelson, Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It all comes down to a shift in perception of knowledge as a concept, says Noemi Katznelson. A lot of young people experience that they already possess a lot of knowledge and skills before applying to the university.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is much easier to start earning a living today than it was when the concept of accumulated knowledge was dominant. It is no longer necessary to spend years adding on to preexisting knowledge, before you can go out and apply your skills in the world. More and more young people are starting to question the lengthy process of education. They ask themselves: Why not now?\u00ab<\/p>\n<h2>Job stability in times of uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>Noemi Katznelson is, however, quick to point out that a degree from a university still carries a lot of weight in society. She also predicts that many young people will continue to apply for long degree programs, because they worry about unemployment. Maybe even more so than in previous times.<\/p>\n<p>Young people today are faced with a lot of uncertainty in the job market where the part-time and freelance economy is growing rapidly and has given rise to a new \u2013 and to some frightening \u2013 notion: the precariat. Being well-educated no longer guarantees job safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe are talking about a generation of young people who are very concerned about the future and who are faced with the reality of an uncertain job market. So, the popular degree programs will definitely be the ones, where young people feel they have a secure future ahead of them. The classic fields of study will probably suffer even more from this.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>She predicts that degree programs in Political Science, Medicine, and Law will see an uptick in applicants in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, we will soon have a better picture of whether or not the predictions hold true for the immediate future.

Rather than choosing a degree for your own sake, choose one for the good of society. Society on a global scale, that is.<\/p>\n<p>Via posters at bus stops and train stations the campaign attempts to address young people\u2019s sense of indignation and social responsibility. One of the posters features an image of a pair of hands behind a fence and a call for \u00bbethical solutions\u00ab. Another states that the world is in need of a greener economy, and an image of a dead fish on a littered beach is accompanied by the message: \u201cBecause the world\u2019s problems aren\u2019t going to fix themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research, Noemi Katznelson, believes the campaign echoes a broader tendency in society.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to predict young people\u2019s preferences when applying to a degree program this year, she highlights the fact that many young people want to put their knowledge to good use, and they are less worried about what their degree can do for them on a personal level.<\/p>\n<p>We may even see this shift in perception as early as July 5 when this year\u2019s <secret text=\"Quota 1 is for people applying solely on the basis of their grades, quota 2 is for applicants who ask to be judged on other qualifications.\">quota 1<\/secret> applications deadline is up.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbMy guess is that we will see an increase in young people who want to make a difference in the world and not just for themselves. I think we are witnessing a shift in perception where the emphasis is on making a difference in society as opposed to personal gain,\u00ab says Noemi Katznelson.<\/p>\n<p>Future students belong to a generation who are not necessarily content with consuming the preexisting knowledge of their teachers, as she puts it. They want to help create that knowledge. And they want to work towards breaking down the traditional distinction between mind and matter, so that theoretical knowledge can be applied as practical solutions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think we are witnessing a shift in perception where emphasis is on making a difference in society as opposed to personal gain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Noemi Katznelson, Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00bbYoung people are not interested in isolating themselves from the rest of society for five years. They want to be part of something that holds meaning for them, and they want to seek out knowledge that is useful and can be applied in the real world,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n<p>She is careful not to highlight specific degree programs \u2013 after all, predicting the future is easier said than done \u2013 but she does expect fields of study that address some of the most pressing global issues will grow.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThose could for instance be interdisciplinary degree programs that focus on climate, sustainability, and technology.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p><em>In your opinion, will we see this tendency play out as early as in the coming admission?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00bbYes, I believe so. I expect that will be the case. In the past, we have had a hard time selling young people on the various scientific disciplines, but I believe this shift will add new meaning to the STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, ed.)\u00ab<\/p>\n<h2>Patience is not a virtue<\/h2>\n<p>Noemi Katznelson\u2019s prediction dovetails neatly with young Danes\u2019 increased interest in climate activism. Across the country\u2019s many schools, students have staged large scale strikes, and at the University of Copenhagen students have demanded more climate specific topics in their coursework \u2013 preferably with an interdisciplinary scope.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from the Danish Evaluation Institute, the shift in perception has the potential to influence the drop-out rate as well. Students who apply to a degree program on the basis of a professional interest have a relatively high likelihood of completing their studies.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Noemi Katznelson the future students\u2019 enterprising spirit could become a challenge for the universities, because many will not be patient enough to bury themselves in books and studies for half a decade. They want to accomplish something right away.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIn previous times, the university has typically had its pick amongst the best and brightest, but in the future the most innovative students may look elsewhere. They may think, \u2018where will I be able to make the biggest impact in the shortest possible time?\u2019\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbTime is of the essence to them. \u2018Why on earth should I spend five years at a university, before I can put the knowledge and skills I already possess to good use? I don\u2019t want to spend five years being groomed for the job market.\u2019\u00ab<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The popular degree programs will definitely be the ones, where young people feel they have a secure future ahead of them. The classic fields of study will probably suffer even more from this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Noemi Katznelson, Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It all comes down to a shift in perception of knowledge as a concept, says Noemi Katznelson. A lot of young people experience that they already possess a lot of knowledge and skills before applying to the university.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is much easier to start earning a living today than it was when the concept of accumulated knowledge was dominant. It is no longer necessary to spend years adding on to preexisting knowledge, before you can go out and apply your skills in the world. More and more young people are starting to question the lengthy process of education. They ask themselves: Why not now?\u00ab<\/p>\n<h2>Job stability in times of uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>Noemi Katznelson is, however, quick to point out that a degree from a university still carries a lot of weight in society. She also predicts that many young people will continue to apply for long degree programs, because they worry about unemployment. Maybe even more so than in previous times.<\/p>\n<p>Young people today are faced with a lot of uncertainty in the job market where the part-time and freelance economy is growing rapidly and has given rise to a new \u2013 and to some frightening \u2013 notion: the precariat. Being well-educated no longer guarantees job safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe are talking about a generation of young people who are very concerned about the future and who are faced with the reality of an uncertain job market. So, the popular degree programs will definitely be the ones, where young people feel they have a secure future ahead of them. The classic fields of study will probably suffer even more from this.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>She predicts that degree programs in Political Science, Medicine, and Law will see an uptick in applicants in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, we will soon have a better picture of whether or not the predictions hold true for the immediate future. July 5 is the deadline for quota 1 applications at universities across Denmark.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ExternalPromo","style":"printed_paper","headline":"F\u00f8lg Uniavisen p\u00e5 Facebook","twitter_feed":null,"image":{"ID":88684,"id":88684,"title":"37232","filename":"37232-e1561706289599.png","filesize":75,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/studiestart\/attachment\/37232\/","alt":"","author":"71","description":"sort firkant","caption":"","name":"37232","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":87422,"date":"2019-06-28 07:17:44","modified":"2019-07-18 14:15:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":50,"height":25,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","thumbnail-width":50,"thumbnail-height":25,"medium":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","medium-width":50,"medium-height":25,"medium_large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","medium_large-width":50,"medium_large-height":25,"large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","large-width":50,"large-height":25,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","1536x1536-width":50,"1536x1536-height":25,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","2048x2048-width":50,"2048x2048-height":25,"featured-soft":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","featured-soft-width":50,"featured-soft-height":25,"featured-hard":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","featured-hard-width":50,"featured-hard-height":25,"narrow":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","narrow-width":50,"narrow-height":25,"extended":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/37232-e1561706289599.png","extended-width":50,"extended-height":25}},"external_link":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uniavis\/","cta":"Find os her"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"More admissions stuff","hand_picked_posts":true,"references":[{"reference":{"ID":9424,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2021-07-26 08:00:09","post_date_gmt":"2021-07-26 06:00:09","post_content":"Housing in Copenhagen can be a complete nightmare. Endless websites and guides telling you where to find accommodation as if it were no big deal. Yet it often seems a lot less straightforward when you are deep down in the house hunting jungle.\r\n\r\n<em>[This article has been continually updated and improved since 2014, last time in July 2021]<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe general rule is to be proactive (yes, we know, the word stinks). Ask around, sign your name up everywhere possible and write James Joyce-y <em>(James Joyce-esque?)<\/em> application letters for tenants and dormitories. Here is our overview of options for finding a place to live in Copenhagen as a student.\r\n<h2>Dormitories<\/h2>\r\nThere are about 80 dormitories in the central Copenhagen area, but with many more in the suburbs. Some are small, old and quite luxurious, while others are massive buildings with hundreds of rooms. Most have their own bathroom, but facilities vary.\r\n\r\nThere are several ways of getting a room in a dormitory. A few of them require a personal application letter and the residents themselves choose who they want to take in.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\nFor the majority, however, you can sign up through the two largest administrators and get on a waiting list. Some dormitories have up to three years waiting time, while others take no more than a few months to get into.\r\n\r\nAt <a href=\"https:\/\/kbh-kollegier.dk\/\">Kbh-kollegier.dk\u00a0<\/a>there are a total of 260 dormitories in the Greater Copenhagen area \u2013 but you can only see them if you pay. On the page, you can buy three different packages, depending on how long you expect to need the site. For example, for DKK 39 you can apply for a dorm room for three days, and then the subscription will automatically be renewed every 14 days for DKK 159, which is DKK 11 per day.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\nIf you need to move to Copenhagen, it is a good idea to put yourself on the waiting list on <a href=\"https:\/\/s.dk\/studiebolig\/\">CIU<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kollegierneskontor.dk\/default.aspx?lang=GB\">KKIK<\/a>. CIU and the KKIK administer approximately 11,500 youth homes in the Copenhagen capital region.\r\n\r\nFrom 1st August to 1st December, new students who have more than one hour's transport to their study programme jump to the front of the queue for student housing with a rent of less than DKK 3,500. The scheme is called the study-start list, and CIU and KKIK each have their own separate list. Sign up on both lists.\r\n\r\nThe University Post <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/student-housing-reviews-dorms-and-residences-in-copenhagen\/\">has reviewed a large selection of dormitories<\/a>, which you can also apply for. Some dormitories admit students on the basis of motivated applications, while others have list systems.\r\n\r\nIt can be a good idea to apply for accommodation outside the city centre. Not just districts like Valby, but further out in the suburbs of Br\u00f8nsh\u00f8j, Tingbjerg, Ballerup. And neighbouring towns like Hiller\u00f8d are becoming more popular among students.\r\n\r\nYou can also apply to the elite dormitories that select future residents themselves. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-dorms-which-need-a-motivated-application-letter\/\">'List of Copenhagen dormitories which need a motivated letter of application' here<\/a>.\r\n<h2>Private rooms<\/h2>\r\nA general shortage of student housing has many students turning to private rooms. This is usually a bit more expensive. Average prices for a room in one of the central neighborhoods usually range between DKK 3,000 up to DKK 5,000.\r\n\r\nThe private housing market is not regulated very well, and many students experience conflicts or even fraud from their landlords (see below on how to avoid fraud). But as long as you make a contract, and use common sense, private rooms are a good and popular housing option.\r\n\r\nMany people find private rooms through social network platforms and word-of-mouth. There are also a lot of websites facilitating communication between landlords and potential tenants. The biggest ones usually have the biggest selection. Some of them are free, but the largest usually charge a fee.\r\n<h2>Housing websites cost time and money<\/h2>\r\nIt takes time, and patience, to apply for accommodation this way \u2013 and money. Most websites require that you enter account information to get in touch with the landlords, and payment is usually automatically renewed. This means that you have to remember to unsubscribe from the service before a new payment period begins.\r\n\r\nOnly one of the websites states clearly what it costs to use their site (Kbh-kollegier, we salute you!), the others are more secretive. So we have dug up this information for you.\r\n\r\nSome people may know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boligportal.dk\/\"><strong>Boligportal.dk<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> You can take a look around for free here, but you must pay to get in contact with the landlords. As of 2021, for DKK 29, you get an introductory period of two days, then you are automatically registered for a 28-day subscription for DKK 298 if you do not unsubscribe, and this will be renewed every four weeks. This works out at DKK 11 per day.\r\n\r\nYou can also register for a 62-day subscription for DKK 425, which will automatically continue if you do not withdraw from your registration. This works out at DKK 7 per day.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\nThe customer service at Boligportal.dk explains that you can withdraw from your subscription at any time during the period, and you are then registered for the rest of the period. So you can withdraw on the same day you register if you are someone who is afraid of forgetting it before the trap snaps shut.\r\n\r\nA free alternative is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voreslejebolig.dk\/\">voreslejebolig.dk<\/a><\/strong> which is a meeting place for landlords with vacant rented homes and tenant applicants. Here you can set up a search agent and keep yourself informed about rented accommodation that fits the criteria that you have defined yourself. You can also set up a search ad, so that landlords can contact you if they have a match.\r\n<blockquote>Many young people find ways of living together in shared housing [in Danish, 'kollektiv'].

Both groups are so large (nearly 50,000 and 20,000 members respectively) that your own post in the group will hardly get traction, but if you follow the group on a daily basis, you can quickly respond to the posts that come in offering housing.\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\nWhen you have dished out and you can see all the housing on various websites and can contact the landlords, then it is time to open up the throttle and start searching for a place to live. There is tough competition for the good leases \u2013 especially around the start of the semester. As a temporarily homeless person, you will break into a bit of a sweat over it. You need to start quickly if you want to find a place to live.\r\n<blockquote>In the tough battle for housing, you need to stand out.\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Henrik L\u00f8vig, managing director at Boligportal.dk<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\u00bbIn the tough battle for housing, you need to stand out,\u00ab says Henrik L\u00f8vig, CEO at Boligportal.dk.\r\n\r\n\u00bbYou can do this by completing a profile as a kind of CV for the landlords. This is one of the things they look at when you contact them. In some cases, the landlords do not advertise the housing, but simply search among the potential tenants' profiles. Take a good photo, write a cool headline and a good text, where you tell them a bit about who you are.\u00ab\r\n\r\n\u00bbThere is no single one-size-fits-all recipe for this, because the landlords are different. But you must, of course, show that you take care of things properly, and it is also important that you present yourself in a way that makes you stand out so that the landlord can remember you. So try to devise some kind of a surprising angle to it,\u00ab says Henrik L\u00f8vig.\r\n<h2>Shared housing and co-living<\/h2>\r\nMore social ways of living are getting more popular in Copenhagen, and many - young people especially - find ways of living together in shared housing [in Danish, 'kollektiv']. This is often a cheap way to get a lot of value for money, and a lot of new friends.\r\n\r\nA few years ago, our student reporter sat in on an audition for a <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/want-a-room-in-copenhagen-youll-have-to-pass-the-audition\/\"><strong>shared flat 'Hegnet' here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nAgain, social media and word-of-mouth are common ways of finding shared housing, but there are also several free sites that unite co-livers and collectivists.\n<!-- end of module 5 -->\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img title=\"\" src=\"\/old_files\/dsc_0026_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>Please note that many of the groups on Facebook are driven by large housing websites that use the social media platform to get people to go on their website.<\/div>\r\nThe group \u2018<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/276651505784150\/?fref=ts\">Kollektiver i K\u00f8benhavn\u2019<\/a><\/strong> has almost 30,000 members and is run by Boligsurf.dk. Many of the posts, however, are from private individuals who looking for residents for their shared housing, so the page is worth checking out if you want to join one.\r\n\r\nIf you are interested in finding a room in shared-housing with one or more flatmates, there is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findroommate.dk\/\"><strong>Findroommate.dk<\/strong>.<\/a> You can set up a profile and browse the accommodation listings for free, but if you want to contact the landlords, it costs DKK 15 (2019 pricing) for the first three days. When the three days have elapsed, you will automatically be registered for 30 days at DKK 299 \u2013 i.e. DKK 10 per day.\r\n<h2>Buying property as a student<\/h2>\r\nNon-Danish non-EU citizens are generally not allowed to buy residential property. Unless you make Denmark the centre of your life, that is. If you want to buy, you have to get a permit from the Ministry of Justice and document that you plan on staying permanently in Denmark. EU citizens working in Denmark are exempt from these rules, but you should consult a lawyer.\r\n\r\nFor Danes, buying an <em>andelsbolig<\/em> or a flat in a housing co-operative can be a great option but often pricey. There are a lot of things to consider, both in terms of obtaining a loan and what makes for the best investment.\r\n<h2>A few words on scammers and frauds<\/h2>\r\nFinding somewhere to live is not just a challenge \u2013 there is also the risk of getting scammed. The housing websites try to counteract it, but the crooks and scammers get better and better, and some of them slip through the net. At Boligportal.dk, they often find fake housing adverts, explains CEO Henrik L\u00f8vig. Of the approximately 10,000 new housing adverts they get every month, they find and block around 20 fake postings.\r\n\r\n\u00bbYou have to make sure you get a lease contract, that you actually see the leased home and meet the landlord. And then, above all, you should not transfer money via Western Union or similar services, but always use a bank transfer. It is also a good idea to check out who it is that actually owns the accommodation at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/boligejer.dk\/\">Boligejer.dk<\/a><\/strong>, where you can see whose name is on the title deed for the property. If it is not the owner renting out the dwelling it is a good idea to check up on whether the person renting the property has the right to release it,\u00ab says Henrik L\u00f8vig.\r\n\r\nThe non-Danish fakers are often easy to spot. Their ads, if in Danish, look like something translated by Google Translate, and they might even write that the room is air-conditioned (not likely!).\r\n\r\n\u00bbWhen Danes are doing the fraud, it gets more difficult. The language is correct - if in Danish, the images are from Denmark, and the dialogue between the potential tenant and the landlord seems normal. In addition, the Danish landlords quickly take dialogue away from our platform and on to phone or email, and we lose all control over what happens,\u00ab says the CEO of Findroommate.dk, Kristian Matthes. He advises prospective tenants to only pay a deposit once they have moved in.\r\n<h2>The renegade option<\/h2>\n<!-- end of module 6 -->\nEvery year, the University Post receives hundreds of e-mails from students with queries about housing.

They need to - and they have good reason to - loosen up:\r\n<blockquote>Some find it hard to believe that they have a chance even though they got a bad grade in one course.\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Karen Risk\u00e6r J\u00f8rgensen<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\"Many people feel a lot of pressure. This performance culture is probably a general phenomenon with the Facebook generation, and the Faculty of Law is somewhere near the top. Here the focus is on grades. And this means a lot to them when they, as lawyers, need to apply for a job. But I can tell them that there is very low unemployment for graduates. And the grade average at the Faculty of Law is not the highest grade 12. So there is something that does not make sense. And it is a huge task to spread this message. Some find it hard to believe that they have a chance even though they got a bad grade in one course.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Karen Risk\u00e6r J\u00f8rgensen<\/p>\r\n45 years-old.

Previous work included being HR consultant in a pharma company, where she followed a coaching programme of study. This was the jumping-off point towards her current position - her first job in the public sector.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nLaw is a subject with many traditions. No students complain so loudly about the study programme administration as the law students in their own Facebook group. And their annual student satisfaction assessments are worse than all the other faculties. But the counsellor understands that the students need to let off some steam:\r\n\r\n\"For the last few years, the political turmoil has been difficult for the administration - and we have a constant focus on making it better. If I was a student, and had to go through the reforms and changes in recent years, I would have been really confused.

The students require access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act. They appeal their exemption rejections. They do, in fact, all the things we train them to do.\"\r\n<h3>The supervisor's own bumpy road to a permanent job<\/h3>\r\nAnother point, as Karen Risk\u00e6r J\u00f8rgensen often repeats in her career guidance, is that the choices the students make do not necessarily define the rest of their working lives:\r\n\r\n\"I am a good example of this,\" she says. She studied English, because she loved Shakespeare:\r\n\r\n\"To my horror I discovered that the rest of the world was not particularly impressed with my good MA title. It was a long haul to get a permanent job: I was [secrettext face=\"hired for a project\" text=\"Karen has written questions for\u00a0the game show 'Who wants to be a millionaire?'\"], I was unemployed, and I had temporary positions in all possible directions.\"\r\n<blockquote>It need not be as difficult for others to get a foothold in the labour market as it was for me\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Karen Risk\u00e6r J\u00f8rgsensen<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nKaren Risk\u00e6r J\u00f8rgensen finally got a permanent job in a medium-sized private company that recognised her talent in Human Resources. They put her through a coaching programme of study. When she could, she returned to the University of Copenhagen (UCPH):\r\n\r\n\"One of the reasons I applied for the job as a student counsellor was that I thought that my experience, also in recruitment and HR - could be used for something. It need not be as difficult for others to gain a foothold in the labour market, as it was for me.\"\r\n\r\nIf the counsellor were to give one piece of advice to students, it is, however, not about the academic side of things:\r\n\r\n\"If you want a living study environment, you need to invest in it. And a diverse range of student associations are popping up at the Faculty of Law,\" she says:\r\n\r\n\"Six years ago there were 4-5 student organisations. Today, there are 17! I meet so many committed students that have the desire and the energy to do a little bit extra. And the co-operation with the student associations is probably the best job that I have ever had.

If you are not a Dane, you need a residence permit and a CPR number, and then there is the <em>Nemkonto<\/em> account system.\r\n\r\nAnd then there is the choice of which bank to use in the first place.\r\n\r\nBut as a newcomer to Danish banks, starting the process early can avoid massive international transaction fees.\r\n\r\nCharging transaction fees is a lucrative earner for financial institutions. However, for students based in Denmark, setting up an account can slash the cost of accessing cash from a machine or paying with a foreign bank card.\r\n<h2>Avoid extortion<\/h2>\r\nKate Rayden, an exchange student from the University of Leeds (UK), was paying extra fees every time she made a purchase or withdrew from her British account.\r\n<blockquote>If you want to avoid paying extortionate fees you need to get going as soon as you arrive in Denmark\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Kate Rayden, exchange student<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\u00bbThroughout my whole time on exchange I\u2019ve been charged DKK 3850 in bank fees. That\u2019s equivalent to one month\u2019s Erasmus grant! It doesn\u2019t even include the DKK 1535 I was charged when paying for accommodation. I really regret not getting it sorted sooner,\u00ab Kate says.\r\n\r\n\u00bbI think my bank was particularly bad, but if you want to avoid paying extortionate fees you need to get going as soon as you arrive in Denmark.\u00ab\r\n\r\nSo with this in mind, here are a few tips on how to move your money over to the Danish banking system.\r\n<h2>CPR registration<\/h2>\r\nGetting a personal identification number is a must for sorting out anything admin-related in Denmark. The CPR number crops up in a number of unlikely situations - whether it\u2019s borrowing a library book or topping up a mobile \u2013 and of course, it\u2019s crucial for getting a bank account.\r\n\r\nTo get a CPR number you first need a residence permit. To accommodate the large numbers of incoming EU and EEA students, the University of Copenhagen has previously hosted government officials at the start of each semester. Upcoming registration days are posted on the University of Copenhagen's website. With the correct documentation, you can walk away with a Residence Permit and CPR number in a fraction of the normal time.\r\n\r\nFor non-EU or EEA citizens, getting things are a little trickier. Due to the long application process, the University of Copenhagen advises students to \u00bbstart the application process immediately upon receipt of the letter of admission\u00ab. The Danish government also want fingerprints, proof of financial support and a processing fee.\r\n<h2>NemID and NemKonto<\/h2>\r\nAnother thing to consider before hitting the high street is Denmark\u2019s <em>NemKonto<\/em> or \u2018Easy Account\u2019. Every citizen and company must assign one bank account into which all payments from the public sector are made.\r\n<blockquote>We\u2019ll order the NemID for you if you need to do online home banking\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Ulla Pederson, Arbejdernes Landsbank<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nYou can designate your NemKonto when opening your new account with your bank advisor.\r\n\r\nWith the NemKonto comes the <em>NemID<\/em> \u2013 your key to digital Denmark. The number card arrives in the post a few days after set-up and can be used as a digital signature for accessing public websites and online banking. Whilst the terminology might be unfamiliar, the NemID and NemKonto are easy to get to grips with and simplify much of the online-banking paperwork.\r\n<h2>Major Danish banks<\/h2>\r\nSo then it comes down to the choice of banks. Here is a selection of the most well-known ones in Denmark.\r\n<h3>1. Arbejdernes landsbank<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-bank.dk\/en\/in-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arbejdernes Landsbank<\/a> is amongst the nation\u2019s seven largest banks with over 70 branches across the country. According to Ulla Pederson at the Sluseholmen branch (Sydhavn), there are no fees involved in setting up an account and all information is available online in English. The time to set up an account varies - it could be one week or two but it really depends on how busy they are.\r\n\r\n\u00bbFor students I'd recommend a normal salary account. We\u2019ll need ID - the yellow card (health insurance card) and passport. We usually need a tax report from Skat (tax authority) if you require additional services. We\u2019ll order the NemID for you if you need to do online home banking,\u00ab she says.\r\n<h3>2. Nordea<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordea.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nordea<\/a> is the largest financial services group in Northern Europe and operates numerous branches in Copenhagen and across Denmark.\r\n\r\nThe bank was too busy to speak to the University Post about its services in all of the three branches that we visited, so Nordea is evidently a popular choice for customers in the capital.\r\n\r\nThe bank does not offer private online banking in English but does provide services in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish, and can charge small fees to its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordea.dk\/Privat\/Daglig+%C3%B8konomi\/Konti+og+betalinger\/Grundkonto\/35062.html?WT.mc_id=426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basic account<\/a>, up to DKK 340 per year.\r\n<h3>3. Nykredit<\/h3>\r\nSimilar to Arbejdernes Landsbank in offering a free salary account with card, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nykredit.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nykredit<\/a> offers speedy set-up with recent upgrades to its service.\r\n\r\n\u00bbWe actually just changed our system so you can get onboard digitally on your smartphone or iPad. It only takes ten minutes although the card has to be ordered and takes about 5 days. You\u2019ll need picture ID - but you can take a photo of that with your smartphone,\u00ab says Lene Corklunge, employee at the Amager office.\r\n\r\n\u00bbSome parts of our website are in English but not all - we\u2019re working on it! We are more than happy to have international customers and of course in Copenhagen we\u2019re especially eager to have as much in English on the site as possible,\u00ab she says.\r\n<h3>4. Danske Bank<\/h3>\r\nEstablished in 1871, Denmark\u2019s largest bank owns a host of branches around the centre of Copenhagen and provides 24 hour contact services.\r\n\r\nThe institution offers full services in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danskebank.dk\/en-dk\/Personal\/Pages\/personal.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English online<\/a>.\r\n\r\nA student-friendly option is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danskebank.dk\/en-dk\/Personal\/day-to-day\/Customer-programme\/Pages\/Danske-Studie.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Danske Studie<\/em><\/a> package. If you are 18-32 years old and getting <em>SU<\/em> (the Danish study grant), most of the basic banking services will be available for free. That includes withdrawing cash from other banks' ATMs and exchanging foreign currency.\r\n<h3>5. Jyske Bank<\/h3>\r\nHeadquartered in Silkeborg, Jutland, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jyskebank.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jyske bank<\/a> is smaller than Danske Bank - operating with the third largest market share in Denmark.\r\n\r\nAccording to Bente Juul-Pedersen, department director at the office on Amagerbrogade, the bank charges various fees with different accounts but does have an English homepage.\r\n\r\n\u00bbTo set up an account you\u2019ll need your yellow card, some documentation to show where you live and something about your economic history, such as an old bank statement,\u00ab says Bente Juul-Pedersen.\r\n<h3>6. Sydbank<\/h3>\r\nAs its name suggests, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydbank.dk\/privat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydbank<\/a> focuses its operations in southern Jutland, however the company does have a number of branches in Copenhagen.\r\n\r\nCustomer assistant Ibrahim Zulfovski points out that:\r\n\r\n\u00bbWhilst the bank requires an \u00bbannual tax statement, valid ID and three recent payslips, we do offer a number of special rewards for students.\u00ab\r\n<h2>Put off by paperwork<\/h2>\r\nSo that was the banks. Make your choice.\r\n\r\nBack to Kate. She has now set up an account with Nordea - a move which has significantly reduced her monthly expenditure. While she believes she has paid more than other students, her experience is not isolated.\r\n\r\nLike Kate, many students studying in Denmark for a few months are put off by the time required to set up an account and the hassle of foreign paperwork.\r\n\r\n\u00bbIt\u2019s a common problem because of the lengthy process - CPR number, NemID and then a week before you can use the account,\u00ab Kate says, \u00bbso it probably takes over a month before everything is set up and ready to go.\u00ab\r\n\r\nAny tips?
