EDUCATION IN DENMARK

Higher education comprises a university sector and a college sector, i.e. the professionally-oriented higher education sector. The university sector includes 12 universities, 5 of which are mulch-faculty universities. The others are specialized in Engineering, IT, Education, Veterinary Medicine, Agriculture, Pharmacy or Business Studies. In addition, there are 13 specialist university-level institutions in architecture art, music, etc. The university sector offers programmers at three levels: Bachelor's Degree (3 years of study), the Candidates Degree (Master's Degree, normally 2 years following upon the Bachelor's Degree) and the Ph.D. Degree (normally 3 years' study after the Candidates Degree). The universities also award the traditional higher Doctoral Degree (Dr. Phil., Dr. scent etc) after a minimum of 5-8 years' individual and original research. Study programmers of the university sector are research-based. The college sector comprises approximately 100 specialized institutions of higher education offering professionally-oriented programmers: a) The Academy Profession Degree (AP degree) (Danish title: profession + (AK)) is awarded after two years of study (120 ECTS points) b) the Professional Bachelor's degree is awarded after 3 to 4 1/2 years of study (180-270 ECTS points) at the level corresponding to that of university Bachelor's programmers. Colleges offering professional Bachelor's Degrees have merged into more comprehensive Centers for Higher Education (Centre for Videregaende Anneliese (CVU)). As from 2005, CVUs fulfilling certain quality criteria may be awarded the label of University College. Colleges offering Academy Profession degrees have formed Academies of Professional Higher Education (Erhvervsakademier) as a framework for regional cooperation. The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation is responsible for university education except for certain higher education programmers which come under the Ministry of Cultural Affairs (e.g. Architecture, Music, Fine Arts, and Librarianship). The Ministry of Education is responsible for short- and medium-cycle higher education. The legislation covers the aims and framework of education, funding and in some cases curricula, examinations and staffing. Higher education institutions are publicly financed and State-regulated. The quality of higher education is ensured by ministerial approval of new programmers and institutions, external examiners and an evaluation system. Although they have institutional autonomy, institutions must follow general regulations concerning teacher qualifications, award structures, study programmers and quality assurance. The relevant Ministries approve new programmers. The Danish Evaluation Institute (EVA) is responsible for external quality assurance. Its evaluations form the basis for accreditation of Professional Bachelor's programmers and private sector programmers in order to make their students eligible for State study grants. The use of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) became mandatory in all higher education study programmers on September 1st, 2001, the use of the Diploma Supplement on September 1st, 2002.
