Most of them are taught at universities of applied sciences, which are more like schools (you get a schedule every semester, you're always in class with the same people, ...), but you will finish it with a bachelor or master.
Throughout much research, time spent in Denmark and Austria, and talk spent talking to Danes and Austrians. I am ready to leave America, and immigrate to Denmark. I am currently saving up 10,000 USD before I make the journey to deposit in a bank in Denmark or Austria. What will I have to do? (I speak Danish and am learning German btw.)
I'm 17, graduating HS this year. I live in Delaware (my favorite US state) and have a US citizenship and am ready to give it up.
I understand you dont need a visa for a 90 day stay. But is that sufficient to find a job and apply for residence?
I really need help, feel free to ask questions. I'm ready to be a Dane or Austrian.
To put it bluntly to drive the point across home, you're not going to be living permanently anywhere in the EU anytime soon. By anytime soon I mean at least 4 years until you complete a bachelor's degree in an in demand field. Your best chances are to choose a university in the US that has study abroad programs in Denmark and Austria or to go to university directly in either of those countries (you have to research student visas and any university fees for international students, if they make such a distinction like they do in the UK, if they have fees at all).
Just curious, what is your prime reason for wanting to permanently move to Austria or Denmark? Political? You met who could be the live of your life that lives over there?
I honestly don't feel like this fits me here. I've spent a lot of time in Denmark & Austria in my life by vacation. I was lucky enough to do so. I am attached to the politics, social system and morale of Denmark and Austria. I love the architecture and culture. The entire aspect of what Europe is in the daily aspect of it.
I don't dislike the United States, I dislike the politicians and lifestyle. The government does have me somewhat disappointed instead of angered. The daily lifestyle here doesn't fit me.
This is just a quick rundown.
I've been looking at Denmark firstly, granted it may not be as nice a choice as Austria for myself with the career field opportunities being greater there. But I do know Danish well.
Anyway - Aarhus University seems to offer the services you are all mentioning. I've downloaded the application form for out of country here and am going to make sure everything is prepared. (The form is for the 2011-2012 year, so I can't work on it yet.)

Danmark is too expensive and too cold, if I would be you I'm considering only moving to Austria.
Reasons:
Dansk people is more racist and accept only Dansk.
More difficult to get jobs.
Very difficult language.
To live and to work in Austria is much easier, with a good German skill you can always move to Germany or Suisse.
I've heard that its difficult to gain citizenship in Denmark a lot, I do know its expensive. It also has very good wages (17.10 USD = Minimum wage aka 100 kroner)
~40-50 taxes. You end up with about the same as USA. Just paid social services.
I'm more interested in Austria anyway, so it's no big deal.

Do you have a Danish passport? Then you are Danish.

My ethnicity is Danish.
I'm not a Dane, per say (resident of Denmark.) I hold US citizenship. I may or may not have clarified that in the OP.
I was born in USA and have lived here most of my life. (14 of 17 years.) Certainly not by choice - i've hit the age where moving out is now viable. I'm young and "uninformed" in a way. I know coming here for advice where lots of people my age and above have experience with this kind of thing.
I'm fascinated by statistics and the such for countries. HDI, IEHDI, GNI, net income, crime rates, GDP per capita. All that stuff.
After my experiences in Europe, Denmark and Austria were my favorite two places. (I lived in Italy for four brief years while my mother studied there.)
To me, Denmark has this aura to it that just screams perfection.
Apply for university over there, and use that time to meet a local girl. Marry her and all your problems will be solved in one fell swoop, as far as getting permanent residence goes.

WUT!? 90 percent, if not more, speak english. If anything, we value Danish less then the Austrians value German.
@OP, I have to agree that you will have a difficult time finding jobs without a some kind of degree. whether it is better to take that degree in the US or Europe is up to you. But have you considered the tuition fee? I can't speak for Austria but here is some info about the Danish system and fees Tuition Fees & Scholarships — Study in Denmark. Chances are it will also be easier optain visas by studying.
