Student Guidance and Counselling at IPC

Students at IPC can set up an appointment with a student counsellor. We cannot promise you that we will be able to answer all questions, but we will do our best to provide guidance, support you with information, and put you in contact with the relevant institutions throughout Denmark.

The student counsellor’s main focus is to provide an overview of the study possibilities in Denmark, but we are also happy to discuss career opportunities in general. Please write to studentcounsellor@ipc.dk if you would like to discuss your future studies and we will help you as best as we can.

The Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science has also published a guide for international students in Denmark.

Mentor Counselling Scheme

If you are a Danish Citizen between 17.5 and 25 years, yet to complete a qualifying youth education and enlisted with Ungdommens Uddannelsevejledning (UU), then you might benefit from the Danish Ministry of Education’s Mentor Counselling Scheme. The purpose is to ensure that young people are familiar with all the rights and benefits of the educational system. If your local counsellor from UU agrees that a stay at IPC may enhance your chances for your enrolment at the institution of your choice and completion of a youth education, then you will have the opportunity to enjoy benefits from the Mentor Counselling Scheme while staying at IPC.

The benefits include a certified personal counsellor, who will make sure that a written agreement between you, IPC and UU is made. Furthermore, the councellor will be able to guide you on social, academic, and personal issues. You will meet with your counsellor on a regular basis. If it is needed the counsellor will also help you with the transition from IPC to life afterwards.

In order to qualify for this scheme an agreement has to be in place with your local UU counsellor. In order to be in the Mentor Counselling Scheme you need to complete at least a 12 week-course at the school.
