So, why consider our programme?
The programme that was in development for 50 years is set out to be an immersive experience with each year building upon the last. Starting from the Global perspective and situation of our planet, to the reality of European schools.
The whole four years has an overall goal and purpose for you to become a educator able to move matters in a collective way.
While doing all of this you will get a bachelor in Educational sciences.
Our programme is all about…
Experience-based Learning
Together with your teammates, you will take ownership of your learning — acting as the driving force of your own education. This means that you will learn by travelling and exploring the different realities of people in Europe and globally. 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 make decisions and run the college together. You will be part of a community, and gain friendships for life with students from over 20 different countries.
Economically sustainable
We have created a period to help you earn the funds for the programme together with your future teammates. This means that you only need an enrollment fee of €1.000 to join DNS. There are no extra costs throughout the 4 years.
