HFtilnærmingen

HFtilnærmingen is a Danish term that translates to "HF approach." It refers to a specific educational pathway within the Danish upper secondary education system, leading to the Higher Preparatory Examination (Højere Forberedelseseksamen). This examination is a general university preparatory education designed to provide students with the necessary academic qualifications for higher education.

The HFtilnærmingen typically involves a two-year study program following the completion of Folkeskolen (the compulsory basic school). Students choose a range of subjects, including a mix of compulsory and elective courses, to build a curriculum tailored to their interests and future aspirations. The program emphasizes a broad academic foundation, covering subjects such as Danish, English, mathematics, history, and science.

Key features of the HFtilnærmingen include its flexibility, allowing students to combine subjects in various ways. It caters to a diverse student population, including those who may have taken a break from education or who wish to pursue higher education later in life. Upon successful completion of the HF examination, students are eligible to apply for admission to universities, university colleges, and other higher education institutions in Denmark and often abroad. The HFtilnærmingen is recognized as a qualification equivalent to the Gymnasium's studentereksamen for university entrance purposes.
