Read RMC's language policy in its entirety:
Teaching and exams
Teaching at RMC usually takes place in Danish. However, individual staff members giving one-to-one lessons or teaching smaller groups with international students may decide to give the lesson in English as needed.
Moreover, the Conservatory can also offer teaching in English in selected subjects and courses, so that international students can obtain satisfactory benefit from their programmes. The course plan for the individual subjects will state the language of instruction.
The soloist programme and the joint study programmes in which RMC participates are provided in Scandinavian languages and English, as needed. Teaching may however be provided in Danish to groups made up solely of Scandinavian-speaking students, and in individual guidance.
International students with a mother tongue other than Danish may choose to take their examinations or write their assignments in another Scandinavian language or in English.
All diplomas and written statements can be issued in both Danish and English.
Guidance and information
All important information and guidance will be made available in both Danish and English, regardless of the form of communication.
In cases where the information is not available in an English version, it will be the responsibility of the student or teacher to seek out the necessary information. The RMC administration will always be willing to provide information and assistance.
Language requirements for international students
In addition to their mother tongue, all international students (from non-Scandinavian countries) are expected to be able to speak and understand English at a level that will enable them to follow the Conservatory’s teaching and understand internal information.
International students are expected to learn Danish to a level that supports both their ability to follow the teaching in Danish and their social inclusion. The Conservatory refers the student to relevant language courses.
Entrance Examinations
Entrance examinations are normally held in Danish, but can be held in English if the applicant does not speak or understand Danish.
