studieforløbet

Studieforløbet is a Danish term used to describe the structured sequence of study activities that make up a degree program or course of study. It is used primarily in Danish education, including vocational education and some higher education programs, to organize how students progress from entry to completion.

A studieforløb typically comprises a plan with learning objectives, a set of modules or courses, and associated assessments. Each module has defined content, duration, and credit points, and students move through the program according to a timetable and progression criteria. Many studieforløb include project work, examinations, and continuous assessment, and may incorporate work-based components such as internships, practice periods, or industry placements.

Education institutions design studieforløb in collaboration with program committees, employers, or sector bodies. The study plan outlines milestones, such as interim evaluations and a final project or thesis. The progression is monitored by teachers or mentors, with opportunities for feedback and for making adjustments to accommodate individual development, part-time study, or recognition of prior learning.

In vocational education, the studieforløb typically combine school-based teaching with company-based training over a defined period, culminating in a trade exam or apprenticeship certificate. In higher education, the studieforløb aligns with degree requirements, often expressed in credit points and learning outcomes against national or institutional standards.

On completion, students receive documentation of their study outcomes, and institutions ensure quality through internal and external assessment processes. The concept emphasizes structured progression, relevance to labor market needs, and flexibility to adapt to student circumstances.
