I would describe my experience in Denmark as an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

Denmark has always felt like a second home to me

Ronald Ndesanjo, Tanzania. PhD, University of Copenhagen. Current job position: Assistant Lecturer, University of Dar es Salaam

The most important experience from Denmark is the collaborative and team working culture.

Denmark is an excellent place for study

Current job position: Professor, Sylhet Agricultural University, Bangladesh

University of Copenhagen is an excellent university for higher study. In my MSc Course in Rural Poultry Production and Health, all teachers, organizers and resident providers gave us maximum efforts for achieving knowledge and skills to apply them in our own countries. 

Impressed by the Danes friendliness

Esther Mwakitalu, Tanzania. National Institute for Medical Research. Research Scientist, PhD. University of Copenhagen, 2010-13.

I am very impressed by the friendliness of the Danish people.  Everywhere you go people are ready to help. The Danish trust and faithfulness is what I treasure and what I miss when I am away from it, but I keep in touch with Denmark by communication with my Danish friend

An experience of cultural diversity and intrigue

Milcah Abasabyona, Uganda. Msc Anthropology of Education and Globalization 2015 - 2017 at Aarhus University.

My experience in Denmark as a student has been a transformational one. From being a relaxed and laid back person, I became focused and more fast-paced. From the start, everything seemed unusual to me but my curiosity pushed me to make meaning out of each scenario.
