International Class

At Hadsten Folk High School we have designed a special ‘International Class’ - for studying international matters and subjects such as democracy, globalization, civics, Europe – past and present, European identities, EU – federation or confederation, cultural conflicts, international politics – from cold war to terror.

This class or course consists of 3 subjects taught in English: European Studies, Danish society, politics and Democracy and Intercultural Exploration. The last subject is Danish as a Foreign Language. These subjects are compulsory, and you share them with the rest of the International Class. For the rest of your schedule, you can choose from the list of subjects.

The school is not a specialized school. All students, also the international students, participate in all activities and everyday life such as meals, classes, morning assemblies etc.

It is essential, that you are interested in political, social and cultural matters concerning the European countries, and that you participate in the discussions in class.

You attend the folk high school for 4 to 5 months. The spring term starts in January and runs until June, which is 23 weeks or approximately 5 months. The autumn term is a bit shorter, running from August till December, which is 18 weeks or 4 months.
