How Students In Denmark Get Paid To Go To University

- Imagine if you headed to university knowing that not only would you leave with a degree, but that you would be debt-free too. For students in Denmark, this is their reality. Not only do they not have to pay tuition fees, they also get financial assistance while they study. The contrast with the UK system couldn't be more stark. However, the generous education system also has an expensive hidden cost for the Danes.

And I pay tax gladly .
Free hospitals, not much crime, nearly no child abuse
Thats why I love my country,Denmark.
You can call it whatever you wants , but our system works.
Denmark's GDP is also declining and has been for a long time. not paying for military is why countries in Europe get away with this shit for so long.
"free hospitals" *pays tax* "
@@geojelly9830 52% is so much D: but at least you got free healthcare. "free"
@@cheiften98 Oh our GDP is declining. That is a new one. Every european country as a dip in 2014->2015. By all those we had the smallest dip of them all. Also both our GDP and GDP per capita are about to hit an all time high again aka going above the dip before 2014. If anything is in decline it is currently the UK from 2014 to now it fell with 15%
@@cheiften98 It is free healthcare, in fact, yeah, we don't have to pay to go to the hospital or to call an ambulance or something like that. And we get that for the expense of high taxes. The argument that it is ''not free'' because we pay it through taxes, just simply does not hold up.
Yes. This is how you create a progressive and healthy nation of happy people
*happy unproductive sheep
you are some of the most depressed people in the world
@@beo191 Denmark is the happiest country in the world
its one of the most depressed countries in the world, look up the usage anti depressants.
@@beo191 It depends on how the country you live in chooses to deal with the situation. More antidepressant is being used in Denmark, but in Russia a lot more people are depressed. and only Denmark ranks 89th in terms of suicide rates. using antidepressant proves nothing in terms of happiness. Whether or not you want to realize it, Denmark is and has been known to be of the happiest countries if not the happiest country in the world.
It is not even close to being one of the most depressed countries in the world.
You forgot to mention that salaries in Denmark are higher and rent is cheaper.
higher salary = more tax
rent is cheaper??? hahah that's really funny, rent is expensive af and half of our salary goes to the State so I mean... idk
Martin Nielsen there is a difference between London and Copenhagen
It's literally in the video that rent is cheaper in Copenhagen.
@@kajsalind9417 Rent is absolutely cheaper in Copenhagen compared to London. You have to pay £2000 to £3000 for a 2 bedroom apartment in central-ish London, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment is £1750 in Copenhagen.
Wow, socialism in a capitalistic country! Looks like they actually care about the future of their nation as a whole instead of the few!
weeell what this news dont cover is that during a master or "Candidate" is considers the standard. Most students study for 5 years (bachelors take 3 years and then the candidate takes 2 years).
Also, our current liberal government have considered making the student welfare benefit (SU) into a loan which there is a lot of debate going around.
also, your comment about "socialism in a capitalistic country" is pretty accurate. As a (mostly) social-democratic society there is free market with private enterprise but the government takes care of health, education, the elderly and the unemployed for the most part. unlike the USA, the UK there are no minimum wages that is dictated by law, but there is an extensive tradition of a collective bargain and strong origination of both workers and employers in their respective organisations.
yeah...but you have no freedom of choice.
I wouldn't call it socialism as much as just common sense! Without an educated youth, who will guarantee the future for the country?
danish students are 723 million crowns in debt
thats not common sense you psychopath
@@beo191
No.
The student loan is an option, not a requirement. An average student that have applied for a student loan owes 65000 kr (10000$) after their education.
The SU is not included in the debt.
Try facts instead of feelings, like sane people.
Your condition is irrelevant, but i still feel sorry for you.
I saw the thumbnail and now I’m gonna move to Denmark
good luck getting a debt you cant pay back again
Our taxes cover school, healthcare and a lot of other things. Plus our salaries are extremely high so the taxes are not a bother. Social democracy and free market cannot be beaten.
Hell yeah I'd pay more taxes. Why is that even a question?
because not everyone is an idiot like you
And we are not ego players like you, that`s why we`re one of the richest countries in the world
Wow and here we have to pay £9,000 a year, £36,000 for a 4 year course plus thousands more for accommodation.
Do we though, really? How many people do you know that have actually paid their SF loan back? University courses are basically free in the UK because you only pay back small amounts once you earn over 21(?)k /year and not many people do.. And after 30 years it gets wiped anyway..
Kim Kardashian Un innit though
Jack Jackson You may end up getting it wiped, if you don't get a good job after 30 years, but that is still what you are charged.
Good thing about is that if you die it get written off
And if you have a change of mind on what you want to read, alot of people in Denmark have several educations, maybe that's what adds to their happiness the freedom and safety of knowing you can become what ever you want when you want, and not be stuck with something you liked 3 years ago, but dosent speak to you anymore.
0:33 that is some fast typing.
denmark here. do not forget the tax rates we pay. we begin at 36% plus 8% which goes to a starting tax rate of 46%, next tier is 43 +8 and next is 51+ 8. so not only 36%, that's just part of the first tier tax level.
It's similar in Germany, But they try not to pay you it, wiggle around and try to find any loop hole. Unless you come from a rich family then you're good
Yeah... middle class is fucked basically. Only money I ever got from the government when I studied was 170€ a month (for 6 months) when I was on my ERASMUS semester. Thankfully, my grandparents paid for my degree though. And uni is not nearly as expensive here as it is in the UK. Think 500€ max (!) per semester. Probably closer to 350.
Same thing in Finland💙
Really? Which country is better Denmark or Finland? I am confused to choose between Finland and Denmark
Denmark doesn't have a deep water Navy, that is larger than the 18 largest navies below it Combined!
Denmark you make the earth proud
I would like to attend University in Denmark or at least a summer first to slowly adapt to lifestyle.
yes, I am definitely willing to pay the higher tax fee in order to get more conveniences and free high-level education, as the video said.
The girl who pays $9k a year is surprised but in the USA we pay $30k-$100k
In fiji we also do this but the more the government pays for your study the more the debt you owe them.
People can afford pay taxes but it is expensive to pay tuition
Especially here in the US where the interest rates are such that people are paying off loans that can be as much as their housing each month.
Brazil, while not paying for students,doesn't charge anything for the public universities. Their infrastructure, however, is not always optimal ...
Danish people are beautiful! Love them♥️♥️♥️
Hello good people can someone please answer me if I get pay if I come to Denmak to study in Collegue?
London is obviously more expensive. It 's way bigger than Copenhagen
To quote a much worn out saying... Size dosen't matter... ;-)
some use our high taxes a lot in arguments as a bad thing, but me as a dane loveee the taxes and the opportunities we get because of them and it’s really those that’s the main factor in our welfare system which is on top. so yes i would pay even higher if needed cuz the society is more important than the independent human itself. it’s creates equality and we get even more than we give, it’s so worth it.. at least to the normal non selfish human. it really lifts a burden off your shoulders i would say. i definitely think it would do amazing for so many countries, they just needa open their eyes up for it.. like the us for example
Well 20 years ago. Brits did not have to pay tuition fees either and received £3000 one off...cant remember the name
And then I am hating on the Dutch parliament because they changed the system of getting money to study and getting better school environments. We as students need to pay more but did get almost nothing back and the tax rates didn't change/didn't change a lot. I wish it would go back to how it is in Danmark more.
Word
Im from Denmark its great but small:)
its a small country but its anything but great
dude we got greenland. we are the 12 biggest country.
i just wish i had the opportunity to a university lol
you can earn points in various ways, to be considered a position in a university. Depends on How much you want it, I would say. But if you're not Danish, I would suggest some years abroad, maybe? I know alot of danes would be happy to get foreigners into our country.
And here I am in India.
I pay 42k rupees as my tuition fees. Another student from my class pays 13 rupees. Yes, 13 rupees. Because he is from reserved class.
A brilliant way to make sure the best, most motivated brains are educated.
are you high?
Love from Indian. Great Demark
It's how it used to be and they still don't pay university fees in Scotland.
Really? Is Scotland (I've been there btw) comparable to the Nordic countries regarding the topic of this video?
From 🇩🇰
YASS! Denmark ❤️🇩🇰
Denmark is good because no one immigrates to Denmark. If people moved there as much as they moved to the UK, US and Germany. Their country would go to shit just like Cali and everything would become expensive and taxes would become even HIGHER. Then you will have a soviet style rationing of food.
It's the same in all the Nordic countries.
Many countries are like this, even Saudi Arabia .... yeah can u imagine
Yes, in Saudi Arabia. But what is it worth when they do not use their studies as adults and everybody working have been imported?
It isn't even a competition, of course, I would pay 50% in taxes to Denmark if my children's future is secured. It's far better than paying taxes in a country where there is no such assurance(no healthcare, no free education, no government support) whatsoever.
Better start packing....😁
enjoy your debt
Esdynu If you have debt, it’s your own fault, please stop trying to ruin everything because your life is shit.
hell yeahh
Certainly !!!
Lol in Scandinavia you get paid for study in Germany you have to pay to go to school and we have world record tax, that’s fact.
After all we prefer Germany here in azerbaijan. Better career opportunities for talents. Germany has wide range of anything in all fields
USA: Meh.. Students! Pay me!
And we look better!
Gibberish
The same in kuwait 🇰🇼
Lucky paid go to University
we paid for more, other way around...
This is how government should work IMO. Democratic Socialism. Businesses can still thrive while every person has equal education opportunities. We all invest in the advancement of our society. It's the basic, decent thing to do.
Same in France
*Be educated in Denmark, then just leave for a better country. Easy!*
Be educated in Denmark, then stay because you realize it is actually a pretty neat country.
My ex-girlfriend is Latvian, her sister too (duh), her 3 friends were Polish. All studying in Denmark. Guess where they live and work years after they ended their studies? Denmark.
Also, as a foreign student, you have some very strict rules to follow in order to get the financial aid danish students get. You need to have a job, and you can't work too few hours or too many hours.
Exporting smart people feels pretty good. If someone wants do that they should be welcome.
There's a saying, Danes leave Denmark to go Explore, but somehow they get homesick, and end their days here.
@stefus87 Entirely depends if you're an EU citizen or not.
Or stay in one of the best constructed country
73 No one can believe this Message without it having an effect on his spiritual, physical and social life. [Ed: the congregation says, "Amen!”]. Everything depends on how you take It!

Danish system is better
Britain should join the Nordic alliance
I really hope so
Second
I’ll pay for the Doctor, but not for Willow to major in basket weaving theory.
It's not only about tax vs. tuition fees. It's also a carrot or stick kind of thing. Many students do not feel the responsibility to put a proper amount of effort into their studies if they don't feel any financial pressure. Sometimes you need a stick.
I would be so happy if we didn’t have to pay for college tho
I think you are overreaching here. I know kids who dropped out as they were paying because of bad grades. They still had to pay their loans. I would still try really hard, shit I would have my masters right now if it were free! Don't put everyone in this lazy category I know many people who like to learn and improve themselves but cannot due to cost.
Fiyaaah - Have you comparative results for UK v Danish students to support that assertion? Or did it come out of the inside of your head? It's more likely that students under constant financial pressure perform less well than those with fewer worries.
CasaKasca All that pressure is bad for studying and actually learning something to put back into society
You're basically saying that UK students (and those in other countries that don't support them and/or charge them) are lazy bums that won't do anything unless you force them.
Makes sense to get everybody equal access to education. Even though it has to be costly it seems like the better idea in the long run to educate as much of the population as possible in order for them to get higher paid jobs and earning more money nationally and internationally in order for the state to get higher amounts through taxes.
I live in Denmark, and Im proud of it🇩🇰
Claraplet . Lucky. I might end up paying student loans back for the rest of my life
Can I be your roommate? 😂😅
I'm moving to your country
Jeg er også glade for at være dansker 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

The Same in Finland.
and Sweden
Finland is perhaps the most developed and modern country in the world.
Im allso from Finland, but i would rather study overpriced in USA, because in Finland they force you to study swedish. I would rather pay for my education than fail at Finnish school because of some stupid language i will never need.
When I studied abroad in Germany for a semester it amazed me that the government gave me a monthly stipend to help cover costs of living, provided me with free transit use anywhere in the Federal State and half off anywhere in the country, subsidized most the cost of cafeteria food so I ended up paying like 2 euros to eat on campus, and provided subsidized excursions to Brussels, Cologne, the Eifel region, and a wine tasting on the Mosel... Meanwhile in the US I was forced into a meal plan that came out to $10 a meal for some of the crappiest food ever (somedays just drank water there was nothing good to eat), no stipend to help cover living costs, and no subsidized fun and educational trips. Ended up with over $100k in debt all for a pretty lackluster college and Grad school experience.
I don't understand the usage of Denmark in this film. In Scotland we get the same. No tuition fees, and a bursury is provided to majority of students. Yet we still pay the same tax of 20% as the rest of the UK. Unless you're in the top margin where you pay 43%. I just want to ask why they didn't use Scotland as an example as it is easier to ask the question "Why can then get this, but we can't?"
This is EXTREMELY simplified and only focuses only on education in terms of taxes. We get a lot more covered by taxes like paternity leave, healthcare, unemployment support and much much more. So comparing taxes by countries using this video is not a great idea.
because we have a small group of extremists in denmark who wants attention from the rest of the world
wish they would just shut up
does scotland have free uni? sorry i dont think so...
The Danish welfare state is, among other things, based on the concept of citizens having equal access to the different services paid for by taxes. I understand why they used this video, as Denmark pay a lot higher taxes than any other country in Europe.
Everyone must be able to get help in situations, such as unemployment or illness.
All children must attend school and have the possibility of completing an education.
All citizens must have access to information and guidance (for example from libraries and media).
The public sector provides numerous services.
@@vitting0113 This is so true!
Hi everybody! I'm form Hungary and I have been in Denmark in 13 years now. My opinion about this is that it is totally worth it! And "more tax" is just one side of the story.
I think the difference between the UK and Denmark,is Denmark is happy paying,taxes and get's something back in doing so.And free education is something that Danes take pride in.Along with their health service,Housing and looking forward too the future.
As The UK just has that old backward Victorian 80's way of doing thing's,not happy in paying taxes and get's nothing but garbage when they pay.Are Health service is in shambles,Homelessness,Putting drug addicts in Houses than giving them proper help.And Scotland's model is not what it all seem strings come with it and does not go far as Denmark's model.Brexit should be a time for change looking too the future but the more we look it just trip back in too the past and the richer getting richer.
Yes, more than happy to pay my taxes in Denmark.
It gives equality of opportunity to all.
Genius minds and talents are born in poor and in rich families alike. This should be the law in all developed societys.
It's not just 16% higher income tax, everything else is high else well including living costs
You'll be richer living in another country doing the same thing, well that's if you are actually working
If you don't wanna pay student fees just don't go to college and just work normally or trade school much better, £9-10k a year isn't worth it but honestly prefer to pay that than in have 10s of thousands more get taken from me in my lifetime
Btw these numbers in the vid aren't actually accurate by England it means London
Prices are way lower elsewhere and if you're smart with your money, I don't spend a penny on transport because I just walk to the shops, if I need to go far I'll ride a bike or E Scooter
we succeed in spite of the taxes. not because. the immense amount of wealth that gets lost when half the people work in government is not directly visible
I feel like people don’t want higher taxes because they don’t understand what they’ll actually get out of it
I would pay all the money I have left after I get myself everything that I need in taxes if it went to system that was built, maintained and upgraded with the best interests of all people in mind and not bs and military.
Danish taxes is not a hidden side. It is quite easy to spot actually.
You get what you pay for with tax. If the Scandinavian countries are anything to go by, it makes a noticeable difference to what you get in return if you pay more. But, the rich here want to pay as little as possible, as they generally don’t use the services it pays for.
and generally the poor pay nothing
Well as a high earner and coming from a family of high earners. Dad - surgeon aunt - senior doctor, mom business owner, uncle CEO of multimillion company. They have taught me that if you want a healthy functional society then of course high earners need to pay more.
And from a business perspective if you have access to healthy high educated people that are not stressed out because of debt and basically are forced into a corner of survival. They are 40% more productive and efficient.
I love having rich people pay for everything & not being able to afford it myself
You get what you pay for the quality of like in Denmark is better because of the tax rate
Wtf you guys are getting paid?!!!
Same thing in Cuba! There education and medical assistance are free.
ye and have terrible health care.
How are you even on the internet, is it not heavily restricted.
What's up with tax when your bottom line is better? The video is actually misleading
the high tax in denmark must have been one of the money sources in order to pay the students. cool.
Let not even talk american college fees or you will die.

What, why are the books so much? I remember buying maybe 5 books through 6 years of uni in Germany. I grumbled about the most expensive one a lot (it was 80 €) but I used it so much, it literally fell apart when I graduated.
30 Nights Insomniac this is for one year. ONE YEAR. We use the book for a year if we are lucky.
3 You see? King Jehoshaphat was alone with God but he wanted to fellowship with somebody to put an end to his loneliness. He was bored as for his natural life. He knew that the kings of the churches around were idolaters and declared enemies of God. But, he wanted nevertheless a friend and he found him in the person of Ahab, the only king who confessed the same God as him. But what happened? God got angry with Jehoshaphat! And the prophet cried out: "Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah …" You see? Should you help the ungodly? Should you love those who reject Jesus Christ, the Word of the hour? Had Jesus Christ in the flesh fellowshipped with the Pharisees who rejected his Message? You see?
I almost died when I read the thumbnail. It will cost me over $200,000 dollars to go to my dream school, or ~$147,220 for the (relatively) "cheaper" school. I am coming to grips with the fact that I will probably _never_ pay off my student loans once I get them. I'm 16, so it's still a few years away. But the notion of getting paid to go to university is extremely appealing. I may just have to consider some schools over there... even if I didn't get paid, it'd be much cheaper regardless.
Hey! What did you choose in the end? Interested in how all turned out for you!
@@kristiyanivanov7414 Ended up going to a high-quality, mid-price Midwestern university. Wanted to stay close to home because my parents are on the older side
@@TheConfuzzledCatEveryone else should pay for your ticket to a higher income
Where´s my Danish gang at.
Please, can someone at age of 28years still apply for Bachelors degree, as an international student to Denmark
Yeah, but It will only be for free if u are a EU citizen
Ok I m estranged student (no financial supported) so Denmark ensures salaries???? Jesus I love this country that s why they are highly educated. System is working, students feel safety.
I should've been born in Denmark..
I mean the people who paid the tax can paid their tax so I don’t see a issue especially if it is to help the young generation at least danish People knows where their money go I seriously wouldn’t mind at all
But, keep in mind, uni isnt free in Denmark. Yes going there is, but supplies (for projects) and books are still Hella fkn expensive because of the high taxes in Denmark.
and not only free education. We also get free healthcare.
Compliments for Denmark 🤗
As usual, it is mentioned that in Denmark you pay more in taxes than most other countries. What you also "forget" and mention as usual is what Danes get for their tax money.
Free medical care, no hospital expenses, free ambulance, free school system; - all the way. Medical support, free specialists or support for specialists, 6 weeks paid holiday ect.ect.
Is it expensive compared to other countries?
Here in India people spend their fathers property to *study* look how world is unevenly divided
goodbye britain!!!
its the same system in britain
That's good! But would the Danish government pay even to non EU students ? Like Asians etc...??
Giving an exact minimum Danish tax rate is not possible since it is a progressive income tax system, making the rate income dependent.
It is quite difficult to explain, but the following can be broadly applied:
- The first £5.000 of yearly income is not taxed
- If you are employed then another 9.5% of yearly earnings is not taxed (until reaching a max of £3900 not being taxed yearly)
- If employed and a single parent and provider for your child/children, then in addition another 6% of yearly earnings is not taxed (until reaching a max of £2.500 not being taxed yearly)
- Once the above mentioned has been added up, then anything between the above not taxed amounts and the first £58.700 of your yearly income is taxed approximately 40%
- Anything earned above £58.700 yearly is then taxed approximately 52%
Although it becomes much more complicated then this with deductibles etc.
I wish I live in Denmark
You are welcome to come to my country when the virus have died down
The 36 % tax is before you count in your deductions, so if you many things you can deduct & a low income you can get much lower than that.
I really want to study in Denmark, but the cost of living is so high. I don't think it is possible for me to do a two year masters course without saving some big money first.
Although the fact we are leaving the EU will now mean that we will have to start paying tuition fees if we wanted to study in Denmark as of next year...
Henry Hale i feel so sorry for you and your fellow people in your country
You can just work in a McDonalds here in Denmark you get alot more than in the Usa
Come to India.. direct tax 30 percent and indirect traces as well.. plus everything's expensive and bad living conditions.. forget free universities we have reservation system to fight with. And poor infrastructure
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE TAX i feel like all the other videos make it seem like we get it without a cost
10 Let us read it in Daniel 8:15-17: "And it came to pass, when I Daniel had seen the vision, I sought for the understanding of it, and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. And I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai; and He called and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to understand the vision. And He came near where I stood; and when He came, I was afraid, and fell on my face; and He said unto me, Understand, son of man; for the vision is for the time of the end.". Amen!
11 He says: son of man, that is to say prophet, understand only that the vision is for the time of the end. Thus, the four beasts of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 are neither the Babylonian empire, nor Medo-Persian empire, nor the world Greek empire, nor the pagan Rome but their fulfillment is for the time of the end! Amen! Daniel 7:17-18 says: "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings,[that] shall arise out of the earth; but the saints of the Most High [places] shall receive the Kingdom, and they shall possess the Kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages." You see?
12 Whether in the chapter 7 or in the chapter 8 of Daniel, we notice that just after these four beasts, the saints who enter the scene receive the kingship and the dominion forever, and to the ages and ages. Amen!
13 Yet the most important thing which I would like to point out is the fact that the fulfillment of these visions is for the time of the end. Thus, it is not in the time of Nebuchadnezzar or of the Old Testament that the fulfillment of these visions must be looked for but at the end of time. Yet it is the manifestation of the Lord Jesus-Christ in flesh for our redemption which marks and announces the beginning of the end of time. And it is from the Lord Jesus-Christ that the showing of the first beast of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 must be looked for. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
There is a age limit
Wish my best luck to be with my danish girlfriend, it's been now 6 months of missing and belonging and it's killing, I'm algerian and i can't get a visa to be with her, I'm just waiting for her to come for me or i go for her illegally by boat to spain.. Who reads my comment i want my story to reach out the world and help us to be together 💔
Lol uk students get nothing so where u think the £9,000 student loan come from 😂 yes that’s right us the taxpayers not the student who is not even working full time.
What fee?
just remember, almost 50% tax on normal job income.
