The Danish Course is free. Classes will be approx. twice every week (depending on other courses) and runs from September 1 (see Webuntus for the schedule). Workshops and larger tasks (such as throwing a Christmas party, in Danish) will be arranged at the latter stages. The course takes place at Skolevangen (UCN Hjørring) and contains students from UCN (NAKU) only. The course focuses on Danish pronunciation, rhythm, language structure and vocabulary, and is initially concentrated on language instruction, in terms of: Imitation, learning-by-heart and repetition (the first two modules). In turn, the course aims at establishing near-to-natural pronunciation, automatized speech and solid grammatical understanding, including writing skills (spelling and syntax). Signing up for Danish means that students commit themselves to active and steady participation and ca. 4-6 hours of homework every week. First lesson is September 1 in room O.20 at 12:25.

WHAT TO ARRANGE BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE There are certain things you should arrange back home before coming to Denmark. Having all these matters sorted out before your departure can save you lots of time and troubles. In this chapter, we will mention the most important ones. Tip! Look https://www.ucn.dk/english/programmes-and-courses/naku/coming-to-denmark/faq-about- denmark to see the frequently asked questions. General Power of attorney It’s useful to arrange power of attorney before you leave your home country – this will allow the person (for instance one of your parents) to act on your behalf in various matters (receiving mail addressed on your name, dealing with legal issues etc.) Documents Don’t forget to check expiry date of your identification documents (passport, ID, driving license, also bank card etc.). You’ll avoid trip to the embassy (or your home country) later on. Study confimration You’ll get confirmation of your study at the beginning of the school year. If you need it earlier due to some serious reason, contact the university, they will certainly try to help you. Medical check ups You’ll be assigned a doctor here in Denmark, as soon as you receive your CPR number (more information in section „Arrangements“). Nevertheless, it’s good to manage your regular check ups while being in your home country (especially appointments at a dentist, an eye specialist etc.) Bank and finances Contact your bank regarding using your card abroad. Paying by card is usually without any additional fees, however, additional fees might apply if you want to cash out or transfer money abroad. Currency Local currency is Danish krone (DKK). It’s usual to pay by card at most of the places (shops, restaurants, cafés etc.), however, it’s always useful to have some money in cash. Tip! You cannot pay by card in the school canteen and Library café so make sure that you have some cash if you plan on eating there. Money exchange You can exchange money in most of the banks in Hjørring. There is a limit for the amount of money you can exchange at one time and you might be asked for your ID or other identification. Check the opening times online, most of the banks are open until 16.00 (17.00) and closed at the weekends. Danish bank account Opening a Danish account might take a while (you need to have your CPR number first), so you should take this into consideration.

You’ll have your own room or you will share one with other international, there is a kitchen, common room, showers, washing machines and driers available. Staying in cottage village is a great way hot to get to know your classmates (and maybe future flatmates) and you will definitely have some fun. It will also give you time to look for proper accommodation (you can stay here from 21th August until 15th October). Address: Børge Christensens vej. 12, 9800 Hjørring When to come? The official start of the programme is at the beginning of September. It’s good to arrive few days earlier in order to acclimatize and get to know the surroundings There is no point in coming well in advance (e.g. more than few weeks), unless you‘re planning to travel around the region (summer in North Jutland is really nice) or look for accommodation. In case you consider looking for a job, you’ll probably have to wait until the school starts, as some of the arrangements which are necessary regarding this issue (CPR number, residence permit), are organized by school itself.
