OverviewCurriculumWhat is included
Take the chance to study in the lovely country Denmark! Despite the country’s small size, there is a lot to discover here. Come with us to Denmark as an exchange student and experience the green landscapes, blue sea and beautiful old towns. Eat typical food such as smørrebrød and frikadeller, rent a bicycle in Copenhagen and treat yourself with some amazing Danish pastry at a cosy café!
Usually, Danish families have fairly few rules, they expect you to be a responsible person who can take care of yourself. Your host family expects you to act like an adult and make sure you get enough sleep. On weekdays, teenagers are seldom out after 11 pm.
High school in Denmark is called “gymnasium” and the Danes spend three years there. When they have completed these years with the right grades, they are eligible for higher education and can apply to university or other higher education. Most exchange students are placed in the second year of “gymnasium”.
The Danish high school year begins in August and ends in June of the following year. The schedule may vary, but you begin no earlier than 8 am and end no later than 4 pm. The Danish school year isn’t divided into semesters, it runs on with breaks in the autumn and at Christmas, Easter and summer. The summer holidays last from the end of June until early August. Exchange students often spend the school breaks with their host families. There are no school uniforms.
The subjects that students study vary depending on which focus they choose. Exchange students often study the compulsory subjects such as Danish, mathematics and English. You can also study additional languages, such as French, German, Spanish or Latin, and other subjects, such as biology, history, Danish literature, art and music. The number of subjects may vary from school to school, and the study counsellor or principal at your school will help you make the right choices.
