Innovative teaching

Denmark’s higher education system is known for its innovation. Regardless of study subject you can expect high academic standards.

Furthermore, Danish institutions of higher education often collaborate with businesses, industries and research institutes, which creates a dynamic learning environment, where you can learn directly from industry experts.

Many programmes also include credit-earning internships, which offer students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience.

The value of teamwork

A focus on teamwork and inspiring each other is something that permeates the Danish education system. The Danes find it essential to learn how to cooperate with others as much as learning how to work by yourself.

This means, that as a student you will often be encouraged or required to work in groups during your studies. This can even include doing your exams, and even your final thesis, in collaboration with other students.

Problem solving and open debate

Higher education in Denmark combines traditional lectures and tutorials with teaching that will help you develop strong problem solving skills.

Open debate and problem-based learning methods will encourage you to express yourself, to pursue experiment and to work collaboratively with others.

The learning environment in Denmark is friendly and relaxed with students and teachers debating openly during class and lectures.
