You can make huge progress. English speaking is enough to stay in Denmark. For sure to learn Danish would change everything in the day to day life, but it's a difficult language, and it's even more difficult to learn during short period.

In Denmark everybody speaks fluent english, inside and outside accademic life. Danish is a hard language, specialy for those who don't have any basis in german or nordic languages. Anyway, as I told before, everyone speaks english!
