Denmark is known as the country with the happiest people – ever since the inception of the UN’s World Happiness Report in 2012, where Denmark has thus far ranked first (almost) every single time. One thing is sure: If you decide to study in Denmark, the Danes’ natural happiness may just rub off on you.
Denmark is a small but proud nation of 5.6 million in Northern Europe. With its coasts on the Northern and the Baltic Sea, it borders Germany in the South and – via sea and bridge – Sweden in the East.
The Happiness Report is not the only ranking where Denmark scores high: The country is among the best countries for business, enjoys a remarkably high standard of living, and most importantly, it often tops educational rankings.
