A non-traditional bachelor programme in Education

Empower people through knowledge

Respond to the challenges of our time

In our programme

you can expect

Experience Based Learning

Together with your teammates, you will take ownership of your learning experience, acting as the driving force of your own education. The programme is hands-on and activity-based – this means that you will learn by working with others, travelling, and exploring the different realities of people. You will start the programme with a 4-month bus journey to Western Africa as a study project.

A Collective Approach

At our campus, in Denmark, you will live, work and study collectively. Here, students and teachers run the college together – we make decisions by consensus democracy. You will experience what it is like to be part of a community, while gaining friendships for life and enjoying the international environment of over 20 different nationalities.

Student experiences

Ermes from Italy

“This education is much more than becoming a teacher. It is an education for life. I didn’t even wish to become a teacher before joining. But i gained another perspective of a what a teacher is and can do.”

Marina from Spain

“When I was about to graduate I was confused about what to do. Some wondered if it was because there were no options, but it was because I could think of 1000 options and I knew all of them were real options.”

Ausrine from Lithuania

“DNS was a turning point in my life. I learned about myself, the world and most importantly how to work in a team. My teammates will remain close friends for the rest of my life.”

Elo from Estonia

“I constantly use the things I learned at DNS. The studies are really political, so it gives a much better perspective of how the world works and brings you much closer to what we should teach the kids in school”

 

Louise from Denmark

“At DNS I learned how to bring my ideas and visions to life – both as an individual and as part of a community. I don’t think about WHAT is possible but HOW I can make it possible. It’s just one of the things DNS taught me, but it is one of the skills that really define my life”

Milo from Italy

“DNS taught me that a teacher is not just a conveyer of knowledge, being a teacher means supporting people to learn, to grow and constantly challenge yourself and others. I use this lesson every day regardless of if I am in a classroom”
