8. Maintaining Danish as an academic language

The UCPH language policy of January 2021 covers a total of 10 sections divided into principles regarding "Language and employees" and "Language and students". 

Section 8 concerns Maintaining Danish as an academic language and is divided into the following three principles.

Principle 8.1

Training in academic Danish must be integrated in courses on all BA programmes taught in Danish.

Principle 8.2

The study and programme administration must ensure that all international full-degree master's students receive information about the offer of Danish classes with a view to retaining them in Denmark.

Principle 8.3

International exchange students who study a master's programme taught in English are not expected to work with subject-specific terminology in Danish.
