Academy Profession degree:
The Academy Profession degree (AP degree) (Danish title: profession + (AK)) is awarded after 2 years of study (120 ECTS points). Admission is possible on the basis of either general upper secondary education or relevant vocational education and training supplemented by adequate general upper secondary courses (e.g. maths, physics, English).
