Welcome to Copenhagen!

Welcome to the beautiful city of Copenhagen. I hope you will feel welcome here and enjoy your studies in this small, big city with bikes everywhere and nature close by. 

The first big struggle of your stay here is probably: where can I find a place to stay? And sadly, I can only say, that you are not alone in your struggle. Even locals with a good network in the city have difficulties finding a place to stay. You are welcome to contact us, sometimes we know something, and we would love to pray for you in this situation.

The best way of exploring your new city in you hunt for your new favorite coffee, your favorite kebab-place, or just for transport to university is definitely by bike. Biking in Copenhagen can be crazy, so spend a few minutes looking through the rules to avoid fines and accidents. 

You can buy used bikes at dba.dk (search for “cykel”) or support the prison ministry from Café Exit by buying a bike from their project. 

Welcome to an International Fellowship

Being an International Student can be both exciting and exhausting. Everything is new - all the normal routines are left behind. Your friends and family are back home, and the supermarket does not have your go-to brand of milk. 

Danes are often described as difficult to get to know, but we do want to get to know you, hear your stories, your adventures with new milk-brands and the joys and sorrows of a new situation. 

This autumn we will have a bible studies for International (and Danish) students every Wednesday at Ly, Jagtvej 127 from 6 pm. Contact David (0045 2345 1636 or david@kfs.dk) if you want to hear more. You are most welcome to join, and to bring your friends along.

We will also go on different tours and experience some hygge in the dark season.

Everyone is welcome to join no matter what religious background.  

Welcome to KFS

For decades KFS (Kristeligt Forbund for Studerende ≈ Christian Student Union) have gathered students for bible studies, fellowship and conversations about studies and faith. 

For most Danes, faith is a very private subject. Almost 3 out of 4 Danes are members of the Lutheran church, but only around 2 percent frequently attend church service on Sundays, and faith is not something most people talk about in public. 

In KFS, we love to talk about it, and in Copenhagen we gather in groups at the Universities to pray, to read the Bible, and to encourage each other to let Jesus be a part of our entire life. 

We also want to make Jesus known to our fellow students. We want to spark those important conversations and therefore we offer relevant talks on faith, discipleship and ethics in contemporary society.

There are weekly gatherings on Mondays called KFS Copenhagen, for Students across campuses. Most talks are in Danish but translated into English. You can join us on Facebook to stay updated. 

KFS is a part of the International family of Christian student organizations, IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students).

IFES works in more than 170 countries to establish and support student-led, indigenous Christian movements. IFES wants to see students transformed by the gospel and impacting the university, the church and society for the glory of Christ.
