Danish language education

If you are new to Denmark, you are eligible for Danish language education. At Give-Grindsted Uddannelsescenter, we make sure you are offered the right education programme to match your needs – whether it is DU1, DU2, or DU3.

Target groups

Adult foreigners who have just arrived in Denmark, are staying here permanently, and have a residence permit are eligible for Danish language education. If this does not apply to you, please contact us for information on other options.

Get a good start

Before you start learning Danish at GGUC, we invite you in for a short interview to establish which of the three Danish language education programmes is right for you and on which module you should start. Immediately after this interview, you can start attending classes. GGUC provides you with all relevant information and guidance regarding your Danish language education programme, including time frames for the various modules, module testing, exams, etc.

Where and when?

You can learn Danish at GGUC’s premises in either Billund, Give, or Grindsted, and we offer morning, afternoon and evening classes. Please contact one of our schools for further information.
