Danish courses at UCPH
Who can apply?
Speak provides intensive Danish language courses for international employees at the University of Copenhagen. We offer courses at all levels from beginners to intermediates (modules 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5).
Participation requires that you have a Danish civil registration number (cpr-number).
Classroom lessons
You will learn Danish in a classroom setting with other international employees who are at the same level as you. You will attend classes once a week, 3 lessons (3 x 45 minutes). Classes take place at UCPH campus.
The courses are based on the Danish you need in your professional and everyday life, and you will quickly be able to communicate in Danish both day-to-day at the university and when you are off. Teaching you good pronunciation is a key priority.
Danish Language 3
Our Danish language courses at UCPH are organised as Danish Language 3 courses. Danish language 3 consists of 5 modules + an optional extra module (higher education examination). At the end of every module, you may sit a module examination. You can finish module 5 (B2) by sitting the Danish Language 3 Examination.
The courses comply with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
