Language proficiency in verbal and written Danish - Solid knowledge of Danish culture and history - Insight in Danish internal and external politics. These are the headings for Danish Language and Culture.

The course is for foreign students and other students, who do not have Danish as their mother tongue, for instance Danes, who have lived a long time abroad or grown up without opportunities to learn the language.

The teaching includes Danish grammar and language construction, introduction to Danish literature, organisation of Danish society and social life and Danish politics.

The student will be trained in expressing himself verbally and in writing, in analysing problems and debating in Danish. The texts being used are chosen to bring insight and understanding of the Danish culture and society.

The requirement for admission to our course is that the student is 17 and half years of age at the beginning of the course.

Knowledge of English or Danish is a must.

The teaching is performed in Danish at two various levels, suited to the students capabilities.

The life of the boarding school with the majority of Danish students is an ideal environment for acquiring familiarity with language, culture and Danes.

In the courses there will be speeches about history and cultural subjects by Danish experts. There will be excursions to various sites in Denmark with visits to museums, institutions, factories and historical sites.
