Having an internship on your CV can be a valuable asset when seeking employment, and an internship in Denmark can be especially beneficial for a number of reasons. First and foremost, an internship in Denmark can demonstrate to potential employers that you are willing to take on new challenges and are open to working in an international setting. This can be especially attractive to employers who are looking for candidates who are adaptable and have experience working in diverse environments.

Here are some reasons why you should consider taking part in an internship programme while you are at university.

While Denmark is a small country, it has a robust agriculture sector. Internships in this field are apt for students who already have some experience or are starting out in this field. Agriculture internships not just about growing food but also focus on animal husbandry. When you accept an agriculture internship in Denmark, you can rest assured that you will cover the entire sector and will receive practical knowledge and hands-on learning experience. Danish farms are typically family-owned, with 2 to 10 employees, and quite large. The work culture is very informal, and the Danish way of working is often in a team.

Internships in Denmark also allow interns to experience life in a Nordic country that is constantly thriving! Hundreds of foreign students come to Denmark to conduct their internships. Therefore, Danish farmers are used to it and are well organized, ready to teach and provide for them.

The farms of internships are approved to host interns by Jordbrugets Uddannelser. The place of internships is qualified to receive and train an intern.

The rules regarding residence and work in Denmark are administered by the Danish Immigration Service and The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) under the Ministry of Immigration and Integration.

Although we have a very high success rate organizing placements every year, please keep in mind even if you meet the qualifications, we can not guarantee you a placement, as companies will make the final decision about your application.
In some cases, we do not process applicant’s internship applications, because agri LIDA has none representatives in the applicant’s home country, who can help and guide you with the application process and help ensure that you have all the in-country support required and to help you make a successful application.
