AP and top-up programs

Many educational institutions in Denmark offer AP and top-up programs. What is the difference? AP (Academy Profession) programs are two years long, after which you receive a "professional" qualification. In many cases, such a program is enough for many students to find a good job. After this program, you can upgrade with a top-up program in the same field, which is also about two years.

After completing the top-up program, you will already have a completed bachelor's degree. The advantage of this type of study is that you can start with one field and then decide what exactly you want to specialize in. Example: if you started studying international business, but after completing the AP program you realized that you are more attracted to marketing, then you can enroll in the corresponding top-up program that will help you reach the required level.

In addition to these specific bachelor's programs, the classic BA (Bachelor of Arts) and BSc (Bachelor of Science) also exist in Denmark.

If you don't like learning German, universities in Austria also offer programs in English. To find out if you have the opportunity to study your chosen major in English, contact Study Buddy.
