In a short while, you will enter a new chapter of your life
and we cannot wait to become part of it.
You have been accepted to an education in which the profession is the heart, but you will also be part of a campus that is full of study life, opportunities and a beating pulse.
Study start (week of introduction) is Monday 26. August at 9.00 – tutors will show you to your class room
Address: Campus Vordingborg, Kuskevej 1B,4760 Vordingborg
We will begin with a week of introduction week when a group of tutors will help you off to a good start. You will get to meet your future lecturers, see your weekly schedule and hear about how to prepare yourself for class and so much more. The week of introduction has a programme every day from 9-15. At the end of the week, there will be an event for new teacher and social education students Friday 1 September at 18.00.
The regular schedule starts in week 36. You will study English and pedagogical subjects. Later on, your teaching experience will start and you will be connected to some of the schools, we cooperate with.
Just before the start of the semester, you will receive the precise schedule, the lesson plans for the different subjects on our learning platform, itslearning.
The teaching takes place during the hours 8.30-16.00
It is important that you fill in the form which you access through this link:
The subjects offered as minors require formal qualifications to attend. If you desire a certain subject and do not have the qualifications, you attend a course of qualification which will give you access if you pass the test at the end of the course. We offer courses that can give access to the following subjects during your 1st semester:
● Art
● Physical Education
● Science
● French
● German
You are welcome to attend eventhough you may have the formal qualifications but with to practice or prepare yourself. Please inform the coordinator, Dorte Palm, if you would like to attend one of the courses.
The purpose of the study start test is to give you a good start to your studies.
During the test you will meet guidelines, links, videos and small tests that will enable you to move around on the various digital platforms of the education. The test will give you information about the courses and inform you about the social life and community of the education including the student boards.
During the introduction week, you will be given time to work with the test. Thus, you are not required to respond to the questions before the introduction days. You will receive the link to the test in your student mail.
The study start test is not a test which is part of the programme, and you will pass merely by completing the test.
However, it is very important that you complete the test within the given deadline, as otherwise, we have to cancel your admission to the programme.
Fee-paying Students:
