The Danish government has recently announced changes to the international student influx for English-taught courses, making it easier to study in Denmark. After two years of capped student numbers on English-language courses, the country’s Education Minister Christina Egelund has issued a statement to welcome a higher number of international students to Denmark.

In this news, we will dig deep into this update to provide a comprehensive summary of the country’s education policy reversal. To keep higher education accessible to Danish students, the Danish government had decided to put a cap on the international student influx in 2021. This drastically reduced the number of international students enrolled in English-taught study programs. However, in a recent update, the government has decided to open more seats for international students. This U-turn of policy is initiated due to the country's experience of a massive labour shortage that is affecting the economy by billions.
