Hello all,
I am currently planning to move to Aarhus for work experience. I have a masters degree and have been working for 4 years. I was wondering what would be a good salary for one person to live in Aarhus? Would appreciate some feedback!
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the forum.

Need more information. What is your Masters in, what type of work have you been doing.

For living costs try www.numbeo.com
Salary scales for different countries and different positions can be found online.

First of all, you need to find a job.  Unless, you have an education and experience within a very limited fields, it will be very difficult to find a job as long as you don't speak Danish.

Therefore, look for ads written in English to find those relevant.

You can get an idea of the pay level here:

Aarhus is a very popular and expensive town why you shalln't expect to find a flat in downtown Aarhus.

Thanks for the helpful replies. I have a masters in epidemiology and biostatistics. I've been working as a biostatistician in clinical research (university setting). I was wondering what kind of life I would have in Arhus with those qualifications and job?

What can I say? You are highly qualified, and the pay will correspond to your qualifications.

I guess that it will be possible to find a job within your field without speaking Danish. Do look for ads in Danish, too.
This site is added because you can find the Danish names for your skills.

I see that there should be open positions within your field right now.

I hope above links will help you to find a position. Denmark is a little country, and I wouldn't hesitate applying for jobs outside Aarhus.
