What is an Academy Profession degree programme?

An Academy Profession (AP) degree programme, or AP degree, is a specialised study course that provides students with practical skills, making them job-ready at the completion of the course.

Combining theory and practice, AP degree programmes are developed in close collaboration with representatives from the professional sector to ensure that the skills you'll acquire are as up-to-date and advanced as possible.

You will learn to identify, select and analyse data and information from a variety of sources.You will also complete work placements in Danish or overseas companies – giving you the chance to apply your skills and knowledge in practice.

AP programmes take two years or two years and a half to complete and offer graduates the option to immediately progress to a third year of studies, leading to a full Bachelor's degree diploma.
