International cooperation
Danish universities are working to expand international educational cooperation while the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education aims at ensuring an optimum framework for this internationalisation.
The legislative reforms and continuing internationalisation of the Danish system of higher education are aimed at strengthening competitiveness and strong social cohesion so that Denmark continues to be both an inclusive and affluent society.
Internationalisation of the Danish university sector is essential to ensure that
- Danish universities rank among the best in the world,
- economic growth and competitiveness is ensured for both Danish society and the individual university, and for
- making sure that Danish students and graduates are equipped to take part in civil society and the labour market and to be successful in a globalised world.

Internationalisation at the universities
Danish universities participate actively in the international cooperation on student and teacher exchange, study programmes and research. Many Danish university students study abroad during their university education, and Denmark attracts many international students. In addition, the universities are increasing their focus on creating attractive international knowledge networks and entering into strategic collaborations with the best universities worldwide.
Denmark has entered a number of collaborative relations within higher education in the form of multilateral and bilateral agreements. The Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation coordinates Danish participation in organisations and forums for collaboration within higher education at Nordic, European and global level. These include the EU, the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Bologna Process, OECD and the UN.
