3–4 - year Professional Bachelor's Programmes
Professional Bachelor's degrees are offered by a large number of Danish higher education institutions as a career-oriented professional education programme.
Depending on the subject, the Professional Bachelor's degree is
awarded after 3 to 4 years of study (180-240 ECTS points). The
programmes provide all students with a solid theoretical knowledge and
understanding of how to apply theory to professional practice. A
bachelor project (10 ECTS) and work placements (minimum 30 ECTS) are
included in the programmes.
Professional Bachelor's programmes are offered at institutions, which
are referred to as Centres of Higher Education,
University Colleges or Colleges.

them offer a limited number of subject areas.
The institutions are located in a large number of towns and cities throughout Denmark.
Studies are based on a combination of lectures, seminars, project work and group activities.
