  Danes speak English very well, but if you really want to immerse yourself in the Danish culture (and also want to increase your job chances), then you need to start with the Danish language. 

  Join the class of your choice and learn either a little bit of Danish, some more or a lot! We’ll split you up in 3 classes according to your level of Danish and give you a Danish Crash Course provided by our language suppliers UCplus.

  At this introductory course, you’ll also hear about how to sign up for the free Danish Language Education Programme.
