1. Employees’ English-language skills

All employees at UCPH must have English-language skills that match the level of English that is necessary to perform their job and to participate in general work-related activities. Paid English-language courses must be offered by the department/unit where necessary.

When recruiting new employees, the expectation of English-language proficiency must always be clearly stated in the job advert.

The PhD schools must establish common requirements across UCPH for international PhD students’ English-language skills. These skills must be obtained before starting the PhD.

All employees must, to the extent necessary, be aware of the tools that support UCPH as a parallel-language workplace (KU translate, KUlex, Memsource, meeting templates in Danish/English, etc.) and other necessary language support.
