Before choosing your programme, you first need to decide on the purpose of your studies. What is your ultimate goal? Do you want a professional qualification that will lead to a specific career? Then you might wish to consider one of the Academy Profession or Professional Bachelor's programmes. These tend to be fairly structured, with periods of compulsory work placement. However, if you are focused on academic achievement, you may prefer a more research-based Bachelor's degree. They offer more time for independent study, group activities and project work.
An Academy Profession (AP) degree programme is for you if you seek employment in business and industry. Combining theory and practice, AP degree programmes are developed in close collaboration with representatives from their respective professional sector. This ensures that the skills you'll acquire will be as current and advanced as possible.
You will learn to identify, select and analyse data and information from a variety of sources. In addition to attending lectures, AP students often undertake project work in small or larger groups. You will also complete work placements in Danish or overseas companies - giving you the chance to apply your skills and knowledge in practice.
An AP programme normally lasts two years, with each year divided into two semesters. They are offered at academies of professional higher education ('Erhvervsakademier'). These can be found all over Denmark.
Facilitating close contact between students and local companies, Academies of Professional of Higher Education offer a niche set of programmes and tend to be smaller than universities. Some examples of AP programmes taught in English are: communications, computer science, design and technology, hospitality and tourism management, marketing management and multimedia design
There are two kinds of Bachelor's degrees offered by Danish higher education institutions: a Professional Bachelor's degree and a University Bachelor's degree.
