Teacher Education
Profession- and development-oriented primary and lower secondary teaching
About the BA teacher education
Our full degree programme at bachelor level is taught in Danish. If you are fluent in Danish, Swedish or Norwegian, you may study our full degree programme.
The BA in Teacher Education at KP offers an open and inviting study environment both academically and socially. The teaching incorporates different methods, including group work, innovative project work, discussions and lectures, and its primary focus is to provide you with the skills to plan both the academic as well as the educational aspects of your future teaching.
If you want to become a teacher, you must be skillful and knowledgeable within your subject area, authoritative, empathetic and compassionate in your actions and most importantly wanting to see others succeed.
Each semester, we welcome exchange students from our partner institutions.
Courses are offered both at Campus Carlsberg and Nyelandsvej in Copenhagen. The two addresses are close to each other.
Please be aware that only students who apply for 30 ECTS will be accepted

*Notes about International Practicum
The practicum takes place in Danish public schools, in which the main language of teaching is Danish. Exchange students will teach in either English, German or French. Students may teach a wide range of different subjects. Due to language barriers, international students can only teach children between the ages of 9 and 16 (3rd to 9th grade). The practicum takes place in groups of international students. The group members go to the practicum school together and plan and perform their teaching activities collaboratively. Please note that the practicum schools are situated in the Greater Copenhagen area, which means student must expect some travel time and transportation expenses.
