Learning Danish

Learning Danish can make everyday life in Denmark easier and help you become part of the local community. Danish language skills can also be useful if you are looking for a student job or plan to work in Denmark after graduation.

Depending on where and what you study at Absalon, different opportunities and requirements apply.

Studying the Professional Bachelor’s Degree in Education in Vordingborg?

If you study the Professional Bachelor’s Degree in Education with an international profile, Danish language skills are a requirement. If you do not already meet the Danish language requirement when you apply, you must acquire the required level alongside your studies.

You can meet the requirement by passing Studieprøven i dansk or by providing documentation of equivalent Danish language proficiency.
