"Touchdown": Count Nikolai arrives in Sydney to begin studies

Denmark's Count Nikolai has arrived in Sydney where he is set to begin a new chapter at the University of Technology (UTS) in Ultimo. 

Just one day before commencing his studies, the 23-year-old royal explored the city and took to his Instagram stories to share a photo of the iconic Sydney Tower Eye, in the CBD. 

"Touch down," he captioned the photo. 

The young royal and his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup are both enrolled in UTS, where they'll commence their studies for one semester. 

The pair are in Sydney as part of Copenhagen Business School's study abroad exchange program and they are both working towards their Master's Degree, with Nikolai studying Sales Management. 

Thoustrup is studying economics and business administration, specifically in brand and communications management.

The course is expected to begin from today,  August 1 and runs until the 30th of November. 

Just last week, Nikolai, who is the grandson of Queen Margrethe II shared that he was  "stoked to begin and super excited" about moving to Australia. 

"The choice fell on Australia because it is very foreign for a Dane like me," he told Numéro magazine. 

"I have never been that far away and I believe seeing that corner of the world takes more than two weeks holiday, hence I want to try and move there."
