CIP is a competent partner when it comes to developing skills for academic communication. CIP is ready to provide a tailored and targeted course that covers writing, oral practice, subject-specific terminology and general academic language use in the desired and relevant combination.
Courses for staff
CIP offers courses in Danish and English for all employees at UCPH. We have a wealth of experience in delivering courses that are tailored to the individual participants’ needs and wants, whether they be administrative or academic staff. Prior to every course, we carry out a thorough needs analysis. This ensures that we can offer courses that are based on your specific work situation and language level.
You can either register for our scheduled courses or get a quote for a tailor-made course.
Please note that CIP's courses attract a fee, and you therefore need approval from your manager before you can register.
Scheduled courses
CIP offers a number of scheduled Danish and English courses for small groups.
These courses cover several different skills areas and are primarily aimed at academic or technical and administrative staff. The courses range from specific courses like English for HR staff to more general courses that focus on areas such as English grammar or conversation Danish at different levels.
Each course normally consists of 4-5 sessions scheduled on specific dates and held at our premises on South Campus.
You can read about the different courses and how to register in the UCPH course catalogue on KUnet.
Tailor-made courses
CIP also offers tailor-made courses in Danish and English for individual course participants or for smaller groups, e.g. for a group of employees from the same section or department.
These courses cover subject areas and topics of direct relevance for you and include specific exercises, e.g. in grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation as required. Simply let us know what your needs and wants are, and we will tailor the course for you.
These courses are held either at your place of work or in CIP's classrooms on South Campus. The number of lessons and the dates and times for the course are planned by mutual agreement.
