University Colleges Denmark is an association that serves as the administrative and policy-making body for the six University Colleges in Denmark. The University Colleges offer professional bachelor programmes of 180 to 240 ECTS points to danish and international students. They cover a wide range of professions including nursing, education, health, social work, engineering, business, communication, arts and technology.

• The president of the University Colleges Denmark is Mrs. Camilla Wang, who is also the rector at University College Absalon.
• Each of the six institutions has their own board and rectorate as well as faculty and staff, managing their institution and competence development on a daily basis.
• All six rectors are members of ‘The Council of Rectors’.
• All six institutions maintain their own board and a chairman.
• These six chairmen constitute ‘The Chairmanship’ which is the executive committee of the sector. They attend to the political interests of all the institutions. The current President of the Chairmanship is Jesper Fisker.
• Once a year the six chairmen and the six rectors convene for an annual general assembly.

Our organisation ‘University Colleges Denmark’ strives to expand and further develop the international initiatives within the sector, in order to develop competencies and young people’s influence in an increasingly connected world.

The six educational institutions are situated in different regions of the country. Several programmes are also available in English which makes it possible for the institutions to accept international students and to attract visiting professors from abroad. Furthermore, the institutions have numerous strategic partnerships and exchange arrangements with universities and educational institutions all over the world.
