For the foreseeable future, yes. However, I would like to start at a university in a year’s time. I still need to figure out what I want to study.
University application system of Denmark
In Denmark, all studies have a certain amount of available spots. This varies from university to university and between different studies. There are obviously way more spots for studying medicine than Russian.
You can apply for university in two groups (da: kvoter); group 1 and group 2. When applying for group 2, you also apply for group 1. When applying for group 1, the only thing that matters is your average grade from your secondary education (usually Gymnasium). The university starts with the person with the highest average grade, and then go down the list until all spots are filled.
When applying for group 2 there are various additional factors, that can get you a spot, if your average grade is not good enough to be picked in group 1. Different studies can have completely different requirements for group 1. Let’s say you want to study music. Then an additional factor could be that you’ve started your own band, wrote your own song or something. I don’t know if that’s actually a benefitting factor anywhere though.
.
Since my I have a high average (10.5), I can get a spot in nearly any education I want in Denmark, as long as I have the correct subject qualifications (I can’t do medicine, because I only have chemistry C, while they require chemistry B). However, my subject qualifications still mean that I can get into a lot of different studies. This makes it hard for me to choose what I want to do, since my interests are also diverse. Some fields I like: Urban Planning, Linguistics, Geography, Diplomacy, History, Programming (I want to learn python).
So right now, I am just threading water, enjoying life and making money until I know what I want to do. But I like learning and I liked being in school, so I will definetly educate myself further.
I didn’t know i was going to learn about the Danish application system today haha. Very interesting educational system you guys have got there. I like how it doesn’t just work based on scores, but some extra nuance like with the music. Very nice.
But it seems like you also have a satisfactory life, and so don’t feel the need to rush into things, so that’s good as well. I’m gonna try and conjure a guess. I think you’re very young, especially since it seems like you’re just starting to find a path for yourself. I’m gonna guess that you’re 21.

You are almost correct. I am 20.
I think I’ll take that as a win. Thanks for playing
