Electrical Engineering Denmark

Hi everyone,
I’m writing here because I’m seriously thinking about making a big life change, and I’d really like to hear from people who live in Denmark or have already gone through something similar.
I’m 28 years old, and I’ve always wanted to study Electrical Engineering.
Last year I was very close to moving abroad to start university, but then I received a good job opportunity and decided to take it.
At the moment I work as a Substation Commissioning Technician in an engineering team. I work on HV substations, protection and control systems, IEC 61850, Omicron testing and substation automation. I’ve now been in this field for about a year, and by the time I move I’d probably have around two years of experience.
I really enjoy this job because it’s technical, practical and challenging. At the same time, I still have a strong desire to study engineering and build a stronger theoretical background, which is why I’m thinking about moving to Denmark and combining university with work.
I’ve been looking at Electrical Engineering programmes around Esbjerg, Aalborg and Odense, but my biggest questions are about real life rather than the universities themselves.
Does it make sense to start university when you’re almost 30?
How is life for a mature student? Is it easy to meet people, make friends and build a new social life from scratch?
Considering my experience, would it be realistic to find a part-time job in the electrical or power industry while studying? Even if it’s not exactly commissioning, I’d like to stay connected to the field.
One of my biggest concerns is this: if I leave my current full-time commissioning job to study, am I risking slowing down my professional growth? Here in Italy I could continue gaining valuable field experience, but on the other hand I don’t want to keep postponing university forever. I’m trying to understand which investment would be better for my future.
I’m also improving my English. Right now I’m around B1, and my goal is to reach at least B2 before moving.
For those who have made a similar choice, would you do it again? Looking back, was it worth leaving a stable job to start a new life and a university degree in another country?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experience.
Thank you! 🙂
