4 Year ProgrammeThe education at DNS is a four year training course. It comprises the same academic subjects as the other teacher training courses in Denmark, plus far more school practice than demanded in these, and a lot more.
4 years where you can train yourself to become a teacher – not only a teacher who can teach in the traditional school system, but a teacher who can teach wherever it is needed, and a teacher who teach the ones in need in the poor as in the rich parts of the world.

- The 1st year has an International Profile. International studies including a 4-month study trip to Asia, mixed with money earning, teambuilding and practical experiences.
- The 2nd, 3rd and 4th year has a combined teaching practice and study profile. Teaching practice at different levels and in different schools and social institutions in Denmark, other European countries, in Africa - and the final year is Worldwide Teaching Practice – to teach any people, in any country, in any continent.
Through the teaching practice you get a lot of knowledge and hands on experiences, plus you will learn about the society in which you are living. You will get to know your students, their families, their living conditions, and cultural background.
- Alongside with teaching practice you will have studies and pass exams in all the subjects demanded in the traditional teacher education. For example in Pedagogical subjects, psychology, creative subjects, art, language, math and science. Some subjects are compulsory whilst others can be chosen.
The life-style at the college expresses itself in common money and common time.
Earning the money for the education is part of the program, so there are no student debts for you when you finish.
The common language at the college is English. The teaching uses a wide range of methods and products - the investigation, the report, the exhibition, the public speech, the PC-network with studies readily at hand for every student, the practice with as much responsibility as you can shoulder. Your teacher is your professional teacher, your travel companion, lecturer and mentor as you progress in this varied, exciting, and always challenging education.
Next team starts on the 1st of August.
