Questions and answers
What is IDA?
IDA is a trade union and Denmark’s largest community for students in IT, natural sciences and engineering. And you can be part of IDA when you study in these subjects. With 38,000 student members, we are present in the student cities and make a difference to your student life and future job market.
Being a student member of IDA does not mean that you get a different, more limited membership. On the contrary, you get access to all member benefits on an equal footing with the rest of our members. You just get it cheaper and in some cases even free, because we believe managing life on a student budget is hard enough already and being a part of your trade union is important.
We help you during your studies with benefits for study and fun events, as well as advice on student jobs and well-being. There are both cash discounts and cooperation agreements that you can use to sweeten and improve your study time.
And when you are about to graduate, we have many offers that can ease the transition from study to job. You can get competent sparring on everything from salary to skills development and more.

Counselling
Did you know that you can use IDA when you want to have your contract read through before signing and receive a salary check when you apply for a student job?
Are you in doubt and do you need an overview of what your education can be used for? We can advise you if you need insights into your future job market from someone who knows what to expect and what you are entitled to.
You can also contact us if you experience troubles in your studies that the student counselling office can´t help you with. Together we can find ressources that can help you back on your feet.
