About the pre-semester

Eligibility

All Bachelor's and Master’s students are eligible to apply for this course. However, please note that the exam is at Bachelor’s level only. The course is open to international exchange students, for whom the course is free, and to guest students and Danish students as fee-paying guest students.

Academic qualifications

This course will be taught in English, so a good level of English is required. All applicants must have completed their first year of studies at Bachelor’s level (60 ECTS) before the summer school begins on 8 August 2022.

Teaching and learning methods

The programme consists of two parts: a thematic part on the history of Copenhagen and a Danish language course. The thematic part will be taught as a series of lectures and excursions out in Copenhagen and its environs. The language course consists of smaller classes of students taught by an instructor and includes assignments to be done at home between classes.

Literature

A reading list will be provided for course participants by June at the latest. It is expected that students read all the required text material before each lecture/class.
