Welcome to Danish classes for international CBS students - Spring 2012

As an international student at CBS, you are invited to attend Danish language classes on CBS campus. These classes are being offered by IA Sprog and:

  • Meet the legal standards of the Danish Educational Programme (no ECTS credits).
  • Are designed for both full-degree and exchange students.
  • Are free of charge to international students - including educational material.
  • Meet once a week for three lessons over the course of a semester.

There are specially-designed classes for Swedish- and Norwegian-speaking students. Please contact: gitte@iasprog.dk

Organisation: The courses are divided into three levels: beginner (module 1), intermediate (modules 2 & 3) and advanced (modules 4 & 5). Module 5 corresponds to level B2 within the Common European Framework of Reference.

As a supplement to classroom instruction, access will be given to a website with comprehensive audio-visual material, making additional self-study possible. Preparation of homework and special assignments will be expected. There is a mandatory written and oral exam at the end of each module.

Form: 12-14 weeks

Location: On CBS campus

Requirements for all CBS students:
  • You must be a CBS student.
  • You must be at least 18 years old.
  • You must have a Danish civil registration number (CPR) before the course start. Your CPR number is a prerequisite at that time, as the Danish programme is financed by the municipalities.
  • You may not register for free Danish lessons with another provider at the same time as you are registered at IA/CBS.
  • You must complete your study of the Danish language within 3 years from the day of your first class. If you've previously received free Danish lessons, those lessons may count. Please see The three-year study period.
