I'm a non EU citizen, and I will start a PhD program at DTU in this coming summer. My field is biotechnology. I have a couple of questions about job opportunities after this program to somebody who have been through this, or are familiar with it.

First, how does the job recruiting work for PhD students? I know we will get a 6-months job seeking VISA when we finish our program, do PhD students usually start seeking their jobs after PhD program or in the parallel with it? Since job search in Denmark is really competitive, I'm really not sure I can find a job in a half of year...

Second, does learning Danish language help for job opportunities? I heard that most of international companies don't require Danish language but I am willing to learn if it helps.

Thank you

Hi I'm a non EU citizen, I finally got a PhD offer recently. My prof told me HR will reach me out soon but its already been three weeks since I got an offer. Does anyone share experience after getting a PhD offer at DTU?

Second, I'm planning to take my spouse during my PhD. I heard that a PhD salary is quite enough to survive around copenhagen alone but I wanna know in the case of living with my spouse. I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences.

Thank you
