“I just wanted to give my teacher a special thank you. ... Their passion, humility, and care for our learning experience is unlike what I see in my home country. They facilitated a space where it was possible to create strong, lasting friends and engage with the Danish culture authentically. .... The love and passion they have for the country is contagious."
Pre-semester course for international students:
Copenhagen Past & Present w/ Danish language
From 5 - 23 August 2024, Danish Culture Courses will be offering a new pre-semester course in the Copenhagen Past & Present w/ Danish language, aimed at international exchange students who are taking part of their degree programme at UCPH.
CIP is contributing with an intensive course in Danish at beginner's level over the three weeks.
The target group for the pre-semester course is students who are starting at UCPH as international exchange students in February or September each year. Before starting their studies, they now have the opportunity to learn more about Danish culture and history while earning ECTS credits – and to learn basic Danish idioms and expressions that can make their study start at UCPH a little easier while at the same time giving them greater insight into Danish society.
Course format
The pre-semester course consists of 20 lectures on Danish culture and 27 lessons in Danish, to be taken over the 3 weeks including the examination.
The lectures are given in English, while the Danish classes will be a combination of Danish and English.
Course content
You will have 3 x 2 lessons each week, plus home assignments each week. If you participate actively in the Danish classes for all three weeks, you will learn to introduce yourself in Danish, describe where you live, and be able to order food and drink in Danish. In addition, you will be introduced to Danish terminology related to the historical and cultural topics from the series of lectures.
