Denmark

Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland can work in Denmark without a permit, on the same terms as Danes. Pay and conditions follow the collective agreement or your contract.

Even for a student job you need a CPR number and a tax card (see “Your first weeks”).
From 2026 you pay the 8% labour market contribution from the year you turn 18.
Many large companies run graduate programmes – Workindenmark collects them on its graduate programmes page.
