UN City
You are welcome to sign up for our Danish classes held at the UN City, provided that you work at the UN City or that your spouse/partner/friend does and is willing to take full responsibility for your access and presence.
Host-Country Language training is part of Career Development within the UN system, and many agencies provide funding, reimbursement, or subsidies for Danish language classes. As Career Development applications and approvals can take time, we strongly recommend applying well in advance to ensure that you can join the course from the start.
We offer group courses, individual classes, semi-private classes, and preparation courses for the official Danish exams. Our group courses have a minimum of 3–4 participants and a maximum of 10 students to ensure an optimal learning environment.
Our Danish language classes for UN staff and their families are tailored to the needs of international professionals living and working in Denmark. We have successfully provided language training at the UN City for more than 12 years.
The levels are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
