International People’s College (IPC) is a unique Danish international folk high school located in Elsinore, north of Copenhagen. We are a multicultural and inclusive non-formal residential school, where adults from all over the world come to live, study, and grow together. We offer long courses in global studies lasting four to six months, as well as short courses lasting one to three weeks.
Where are students at IPC from and what do they say about their ‘IPC experience’?
A Folk High School is a special type of school with a focus on personal and educational development. There are no fixed curriculums and no grades are given. You decide what kind of subjects and classes you want, and you are taught by teachers who love what they do.
International People’s College is the only international ‘general’ Folk High School in Denmark where everything at the school happens in English and the student body is 100 % global. We have students from more than 30 different countries each term.
The most part of the classes at International People’s College has a global focus – meaning that you learn about the world some way or the other by taking part in the class. We offer nearly 40 different subjects and classes which you can pick and choose from.
At International People’s College we bring people from around the world together to live, love and learn from each other. We have followed this formula for 100 years.
Learn English or Danish while experincing Denmark, or learn about global issues and the world together with other global minds, while you discover Denmark… and yourself.
