Some courses begin a month after you arrive and some finish a month before you leave. Class attendance is not mandatory, and Danes frequently skip classes. Exams take place weeks after classes are finished and are not based on lectures, but rather entirely on readings, or projects. The faculty is comprised of Danish professors, professionals, and for some classes in English, visiting professors from English speaking countries. The professors are very sensitive to the needs of international students, especially because courses instructed in English are overwhelmingly attended by international students.
Professors are also available outside of class.
The academic workload is much lighter than at BC, but getting good grades is much more difficult. Danes believe that if you are in university, you are an adult and will learn if you want to. The professors are not like they are in America. They go over the main points, but do not teach everything you are required to know. You MUST read on your own.
