Danish lessons online
Take the official Danish Education online – from all over Denmark
Do you want to learn Danish online?
At UCplus you can learn Danish by participating in the official Danish Language Programme free of charge and 100% online, giving you access to official tests and a good start in Denmark. The curriculum is organized based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The Danish lessons are just as they would be in a classroom – just virtually. You can both see and hear the teacher, you can raise your hand, speak and do group work with others on the same Danish level as you. So you don’t have to show up at the school but can log in from wherever it suits you. It can be from work, at home or maybe from your vacation. Danish lessons are at fixed hours 1-2 times a week.
In addition to your regular online class days, you practice from home with exercises in e.g. Danish grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary that your teacher has prepared especially for you. Your teacher gives you feedback on your exercises and assignments, so you quickly get better and better at Danish.
In order to participate in the Danish course, you must be eligible for the Danish Language Programme and pay a DKK 2000 deposit.

More about the Official Danish Education
Official Danish Language Education (6)
As a new resident in Denmark, you are encouarged to learn Danish. The Danish Language Education is the offcial programmes offered at 3 levels. Level 1 and 2 are divided into 6 modules, which finishes with the tests: Prøve i Dansk 1 (PD1) or Prøve i Dansk 2 (PD2). Level 3 finishes after 5 modules with Prøve i Dansk 3 (PD3). After passing PD3, you can continue on a 6th module and finish with Studieprøven. Once you have passed Studieprøven, you can apply for admission to a study programme taught in Danish in Denmark.
In the first two modules on all three Danish Language Education programmes, we focus mostly on oral skills and on getting you ready to speak Danish at your job and on your study programme. In the following modules, you will gradually become better at speaking, reading, listening to and writing in Danish.
The Danish Language Education programme is the official Danish education, that gives you the qualifications you need for your job, study programme and to get by in general as a resident in Denmark. Knowing the language is important to get a good start in a new country. That is why we on all levels focus on the Danish you need. In your everyday life, at your study and at work.
On the Danish Language Education programmes at UCplus, we also help you get started using public digital platforms. We provide you with useful knowledge of Danish culture, history and labour market, and you will meet other new residents in Denmark so you can establish a network.
