Studiefelt

Studiefelt is a Danish term often translated as "area of study" or "subject area." It refers to a broad field of academic or professional specialization within a larger educational or occupational context. In the Danish educational system, studiefelter are used to categorize courses and programs of study, helping students choose a path that aligns with their interests and career aspirations.

These fields are typically more comprehensive than individual subjects. For example, a studiefelt might encompass several related disciplines. A studiefelt like "Humanities" could include literature, history, philosophy, and languages. Similarly, a "Science" studiefelt might cover physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. The concept is designed to provide a structured framework for learning and development.

Students often choose a studiefelt at various stages of their education, from upper secondary school (gymnasium) to higher education institutions like universities and professional colleges. The selection of a studiefelt can influence the curriculum, the types of assignments, and the eventual career opportunities available to the student. It serves as a guiding principle in academic planning and personal development.
