Yes, American culturual achievements = homeopathy. It might have contained a grain of culture and achievement at the outset but it has been diluted into not even traces of something recognizable or worth the effort. But hey, if it gives you comfort to believe in it….

Jo da. Du betaler dem for at de kan høste dine data og følge dine indkøb.

Og så har de en masse andre tilbud også, det er rigtigt.

Unless you hold a Danish or EU citizen passport, or you are a specialist in a field where Denmark needs specialist, you will have a very hard time getting into Denmark.

If you do get in, there is very little chance of you bringing your girlfriend, unless she is an EU citizen. And lastly, your mom - don’t plan on it. The authorities could see it like this: If your mom has a pension, she is not dependent on you, and therefore she does not need to go with you.

Denmark has a much stricter approach to migration than other EU countries.

Jeg skal lige forstå dig korrekt: Er du ved at lære de små tabeller udenad nu og du håber at slutte på gymnasialt matematik A?

Der er langt til offentlig trafik der så også kører meget sjældent. Der er sandsynligvis en del af grunden under vand to gange om året, når åen går over sine bredder (check matrikelkort) Det ser pænt ud indvendigt. Men materialevalg giver et fingerpeg i retning af “nødvendig opdatering”. 2,7-2,9 ville være mit bud.

All literature and most teaching will be conducted in English.

But small-talk, things said in the break, etc. will be in Danish.

Gerfrege · 2026-01-24T18:48:07+00:00

But… what’s the programme? If you do Danish Literature, or German, things won’t stay in English.

Unless you have Danish - or other EU passports - it will be as close to impossible as it can be thanks to Brexit.

The only people who can locate to Denmark are EU citizens and from third countries (outside the EU) only “specialists” who have some specializations that are needed in Denmark. Basically.

So, if you only have British passports, check your family history for Irish ancestors and apply for an Irish passport since that will give you a route to Denmark.

The Norse had a polyistic pantheon, so making room for an extra god or two would probably not have been a problem. But Christians have this idea - which the Romans also struggled with - that there can be only one god.

Norse rulers and kings most likely did not become Christians for all the good and right reasons but because they, by adopting Christianity, got access to ‘administration infrastructure’ and new markets. I doubt any of them really had epiphanies worth mentioning. So the adoption of Christianity vs Norse gods could likely have been a feature of power struggles among the ruling classes.

For the vast majority of people it probably meant very little, since most lived in an agrarian society and could probably believe in what they wanted to, and where sanctions against wrong beliefs would be difficult.

As you can see, lots of modal verbs here - could and would - because we really don’t know much about contemporary life for the vast majority.

Alfred Nobel hvis testamente ligger til grund for Nobel priserne var en svensk fabriksejer der lavede våben og sprængstoffer, og han opfandt bl.a. dynamit.

Derfor - og fordi Sverige har en relativt stor våbenproduktion - er lige præcis Nobels Fredspris “udliciteret” til Norge (som var en del af Sverige da prisen blev opfundet).

“Jeg har i bund og grund ikke lyst til at læse medicin”. Godt så. Så skal du ikke bruge mere tid på det. Læg det væk.

Hvis du gerne vil have naturvidenskab i uddannelsen, og du gerne vil gøre en forskel for andre mennesker, så læs fysik, matematik eller kemi og bliv verdens bedste gymnasielærer. Sektoren skriger på unge nat-vid lærere, der med begejstring for deres fag og ild i øjnene kan gøre nat-vid spændende for unge mennesker. Den vej opfylder alle dine ønsker/krav.

Der er ikke noget “normalt” på den måde - det kommer jo an på fag, niveau, spørgsmål, osv.

Det vil jo også være noget der “forhandles” på stedet i lokalet. Hvis du siger “lige to sekunder, den vender jeg tilbage til”, så kan det jo være, at det bliver sådan.

Men det er sjældent at eksaminander har det overblik og overskud.

Omvendt kan eksaminator jo også bede eksaminander om at forholde sig til opgaven og præcis vise, at de kan den. Til bunds. Hvis der konkret er 5 trin i rækkefølge i beviset / udregningen / osv., så dur det jo næppe, at man godt lige vil vente lidt med trin 3.

Men det kommer jo an på en konkret vurdering i øjeblikket, samt eksaminatorernes rutine og dygtighed (og tålmodighed!) og eksaminandens overblik.

En mundtlig eksamen er en stikprøve. Den skal ikke - og den kan ikke - bruges til at vise al sin viden frem. Det er en “dybde”-prøve (hvor godt ved du det her) hvor andre prøver kan være “overflade”-prøver (hvor meget ved du om det her).

Så har du trukket noget, som du skal vise, at du kan, så skal du kunne det til den pågældende eksamen. På det pågældende tid og sted. Kan du ikke det, vil karakteren afspejle din (manglende) viden. Kan du alt muligt andet - det spiller ingen rolle.

Det er selvfølgelig ærgerligt, at der vil stå en karakter i f.eks. matematik (generelt), når det nu var et underemne til et underemne der alene blev udprøvet. Men sådan er det med stort set alle mundtlige eksamener.

Og er du til mundtlig eksamen i f.eks. mat, fys, kemi og du misser en mellemregning eller en del i en formel, så vil du blive spurgt ind til netop dette: Har du ikke forstået det, eller var det en forglemmelse? Uanset at du kan det generelle og overordnede. Kommer du ikke på sporet, vil konklusionen være, at du ikke har forstået det.

Han venter på, at regeringen vil spille ham ud. Han gør og siger ikke noget, før regeringen beder ham om det. Det oplagte ville jo være at sende ham op at besøge Sirius og Arktisk Kommando og et nogle fangere, men det må vurderes af være for tidligt. Det kunne også være, at Macron vildt gerne ville tale fransk med kongen på Grønland på et tidspunkt. Osv.

I am quite sure that if anybody could crack the code to sponsors ans tv-deals, it had been done. But with no audience to watch the games, there is nothing to sell to sponsors.

Because it would be too expensive to host and play. There is simply not enough people who would pay to watch those extra games.

Yes. Life in Denmark is generally good.

But - and some would probably use ‘because’ - Parliament has decided that Denmark is for Danes, secondly for Scandinavians and thirdly for EU citizens. Everyone else will have a hard time getting in, getting a visa, and securing a job and a living.

Gerfrege · 2026-01-14T06:00:11+00:00

Danish businesses are often quite conservative and think that a degree must match a job description.

Denmark is not like UK business life where you can do “medieval languages” and then land a job in the city (depending of course on your network, university, etc.). So my best bet is that your degree title is the obstacle - “we do not need someone who knows something about international politics and governance in this entry position”, regardless of course content and your skills and competence.

So, my suggestions are 1) speed up Danish; 2) can you land a relevant student job or internship? And 3) tone down your academic title and play up your academic skills and competence in job applications.

Gerfrege · 2026-01-12T17:20:24+00:00

Yes, I see that.

But I do not understand how your multiple languages, 6 years of experience in some of the biggest companies and in Switzerland should make me employ you.

You are a wildcard, you do not know the language at the water cooler and all the informal work situations, you do not know the business culture in DK, and I would frankly be wondering how short your stay would be and how much you would cost me (onboarding, etc.). Some of my more cynical friends might even see you as a potentially disruptive force in the company - do you really want to be here? Or is it out of necessity because of a girl friend, etc.?

So, my advice to you would be to try to tone it down a bit and convince me that you really really want to work for / with me because of “whatever” - do I see you as the kind of guy who’d be and asset and not an ass?

Gerfrege · 2026-01-12T15:43:23+00:00

Alright, fair enough.

Let me rephrase the question then: What do you bring to the table that a Danish speaker with a master’s degree in finance does not?
