Studying at the Faculty

You will get to experience quite a variety with regard to the way classes are conducted at graduate level. Some lecturers prefer to give more traditional lectures when they have classes, other lecturers prefer to involve the students in discussions. The class size is max. 30 to 40 students per class. Usually between 25 to 40 students participate in class.

The English-taught courses are conducted at an advanced academic level and you must therefore have a very good command of English to be able follow courses and participate in group discussions. Both Danish and international students follow the courses offered in English - you will therefore get to meet both Danes and students from all over the world in class.
