Uddannelsesramme

Uddannelsesramme is a Danish term describing the structured framework that defines a specific education or training program. The framework outlines the program’s overall aim, the required learning outcomes, the scope of content, and the rules for progression and assessment. It serves as a reference point for designers, providers, and regulators to ensure consistency, transparency, and quality across programs.

A typical uddannelsesramme describes the program’s length and progression, mandatory core competences, and any optional modules or electives. It also covers practical components such as internships or apprenticeships and specifies the assessment regime and the qualification that follows. The ramme is designed to be applicable across related programs while allowing adaptation to local or sectoral needs.

In Denmark, the concept is used across education and training sectors, including vocational education and training (erhvervsuddannelser), higher education continuing education, and adult education. The uddannelsesramme represents the overarching structure; it is distinct from the more detailed læreplan or course syllabus that lists specific teaching content. The ramme provides the framework within which individual programs are planned and delivered and is often published by national or regional authorities or educational institutions to support comparability and accountability.

Overall, uddannelsesramme functions as a formal, standardized foundation for designing, implementing, and evaluating education and training programs, balancing national coherence with local flexibility. See also: uddannelse, erhvervsuddannelse, læreplan.
