VUC Lyngby is an adult education centre situated north of Copenhagen.
There are approximately 30 adult education centres in Denmark where adults can add to their formal education and training. At VUC Lyngby you can find single subject courses from the very basic levels to A-levels. You can study at Lyngby or via our e-learning system. Exams are only offered locally.
The aim of the formal education system is to provide academic qualifications to enable adults to improve or supplement their general knowledge and skills. Many adult students attend a VUC as their pre-university stepping stone to a university degree. Studying at VUC enables adults to take an active part in their communities and gives them the knowledge and skills relevant to enhancing their career.
Many students study full time at VUCs where it is possible to combine basic and high school levels to meet the individual student’s academic needs.
The pre-university level is called HF, higher preparatory courses. AVU is general formal education, and FVU is the preparatory adult education level, where courses in Danish and mathematics are available. Danish as a foreign language is also offered at VUC. All students are required to consult our student guidance to determine which level will fit their academic profile – vejledning@vuclyngby.nu
Since January 2007 VUC also offers dyslectic students' courses which may be combined with other studies. VUC Lyngby offers courses via e-learning, making it possible for students to take courses when residing outside Denmark. Please note that exams are only offered locally.
To support further education the Danish Government provides grants and loans to students over the age of 18 if they study full time and fulfil certain criteria.
