VUC Aarhus

VUC Aarhus is situated in the heart of Aarhus and is one of Denmark’s largest adult education centres. We offer qualifying education for adults, who may choose to complete a full education or take single subjects (ranging from lower secondary level (AVU) to upper secondary level: Higher Preparatory Exam (HF), and supplementary examination courses at upper secondary level (GS). The school also offers courses for dyslectics (OBU) and preparatory education for adults (FVU) where courses in basic reading, writing, and mathematics are available. The school has a yearly intake of 6,000 students, corresponding to approximately 2,000 full-time course students, and the number of employees is 330. Professionalism and quality We are an ambitious school that focuses on academic excellence and high standards. Our programmes enable young people as well as adults to change tracks whether it be for further training and education, occupation or personal development. Classes are organized with a view to flexibility; both day and evening classes are available as 6-month or 12-month courses and in certain cases intensive courses down to 4 weeks. Studies may be part-time (single subject) or full-time. In most programmes and courses students now have a choice between regular classroom-based teaching and distance learning via the internet – at VUC Aarhus the latter is named “Flex”. This enables the student to study from home.
