| AIESEC is the world's largest student organization and is present at over 800 academic institutions of higher education in more than 80 countries; one of their core activities is international traineeship exchange. Their website is linked below. |
| Traineeships are difficult to obtain in Denmark (outside of AIESEC arrangements) if you do not have a solid command of the Danish language. If you expect the traineeship to be a paid one, you should indicate what your expectations are. You should also list which areas or types of companies you would like to work for. |
| If you are not a citizen of an EEA country (European Economic Area: The countries of the European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), it is practically impossible to get a job in Denmark. Students from the previously mentioned group of countries do not, however, need a work permit in order to work in Denmark. See EURES’ web site to get more information on jobs in Denmark as well as in other EEA countries www.eures.dk This site provides a list of job vacancies and a number of links to other job search web sites |
| The Scandinavian International Career & Education Fair (SICEF), taking place in Aarhus on 20 and 21, September in Ridehuset and on 11-12 October in Øksnehallen in Copenhagen, is the leading career and education fair in Scandinavia. A number of international companies and prestigious MBA-schools are present at the fair. The link to their website is below. |
| AIESEC hosts career days every Spring in four major cities in Denmark. See their web site to find out more about these career days and future job opportunities. |
Don't forget the CBS Student Portal e-Campus. Look under “Students wanted.”
Taxation
As a general rule, any income earned in Denmark is subject to tax in Denmark, whereas any income earned in another country is subject to tax in that country. Denmark has entered into double taxation agreements with a number of countries in order to avoid that tax is paid on the same income in two countries. You should contact the local tax authorities in your home country prior to departure to settle this matter.
Other rules apply, however, for students. Students are generally not liable to tax on any student grants for study periods abroad, but if work is undertaken while in Denmark, tax is deducted if the income exceeds a certain amount per year. Please contact the local tax authorities in Denmark concerning this matter.
