In March 2018, Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege UCC and Met­ro­pol­i­tan Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege merged to become Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen (KP).

Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen offers bachelor’s degree pro­grammes, acad­e­my pro­fes­sion degree pro­grammes and post­grad­u­ate stud­ies and con­ducts applied research and devel­op­ment activ­i­ties in wel­fare-sec­tor sub­jects such as ped­a­gogy, health, reha­bil­i­ta­tion, wel­fare tech­nol­o­gy, man­age­ment, teach­ing and social work. It also edu­cates nurs­es, phys­io­ther­a­pists, psy­chomo­tor ther­a­pists, sign lan­guage inter­preters and tex­tile and hand­i­craft designers.

With aware­ness of the ever-chang­ing dynam­ics of a glob­al­ized world, Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen looks towards the inter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty to seek part­ner­ships and coop­er­a­tion for the exchange of knowl­edge and insight.

Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen has cam­pus­es in Copen­hagen, North Zealand, Aarhus and Born­holm. It orga­nizes numer­ous stu­dent, staff and teacher exchange pro­grammes, both for study peri­ods and work place­ments. As part­ner and hold­er of an ERASMUS Uni­ver­si­ty Char­ter under the Euro­pean Union’s Life­long Learn­ing Pro­gramme, Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen is com­mit­ted to improv­ing access to and trans­paren­cy of edu­ca­tion and train­ing sys­tems in Europe, in par­tic­u­lar in pro­mot­ing coher­ence between edu­ca­tion and train­ing and by improv­ing flex­i­ble learn­ing path­ways between the dif­fer­ent sys­tems.
Inter­na­tion­al, pro­fes­sion­al and aca­d­e­m­ic net­work­ing is at the heart of KP’s endeav­ors to enhance the qual­i­ty of the study pro­grammes, pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment activ­i­ties and research. Besides stu­dent and staff mobil­i­ty, Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen is engaged in research and devel­op­ment with a wide range of part­nered inter­na­tion­al edu­ca­tion­al institutions.

Through research and devel­op­ment work, Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen aims to con­tin­u­ous­ly improve the knowl­edge base for the study pro­grammes. The research projects are designed to improve the flow of knowl­edge between research, edu­ca­tion and prac­tice. They are designed to gen­er­ate knowl­edge that can be used in study pro­grammes and to help aca­d­e­m­ic teach­ers enhance their research and devel­op­ment skills. By sus­tain­ing the pro­duc­tion of rel­e­vant knowl­edge and increas­ing aca­d­e­m­ic fac­ul­ty involve­ment in research and devel­op­ment, Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege Copen­hagen facil­i­tates the devel­op­ment of study pro­grammes with an even stronger knowl­edge base.
