Student story by Edina Lázár

 

Edina Lázár, UCNThe support and help we get from each other and of course from our teachers and managing committee is way better then what I expected.


I would recommend to those who are thinking of coming here to UCN - University College of Northern Denmark not to be afraid, because you will not feel alone or left aside.

Structure of the course

Subjects and modules are interwoven so that the students learn to apply all their skills and competences on a complex set of problems and not only on isolated single subject problems.

 

Incoming students therefore have to follow all activities of a semester, meaning they have to follow all 30 ECTS of one semester - students cannot be exempt from single subjects or mix subjects from different courses and different semesters.
