Description

If you are interested in acquiring relevant professional competences, studying new innovative teaching approaches in an international study environment and doing fieldwork in Danish Schools, then International Class in Teacher Education is perfect for you!

The semester programme consists of two mandatory modules of 10 and 20 ECTS credits respectively, which is equivalent to 30 ECTS.

As an international student, you will study Danish school culture close up as a part of your semester. We consider the practical perspective of the teaching profession to be very important.

We will allocate you to a Danish primary, lower secondary school, or boarding school for the module School Placement.

The school placement will provide you with the opportunity to prepare, deliver, and evaluate lessons at your assigned school, to follow and observe experienced teachers in their teaching practice and to observe how Danish pupils learn in different learning environments. You will also have the chance to visit classes that focus on specific aspects of teaching.
