Study trips are an integral part of the experience at International People’s College and gives you the opportunity to break the daily routines, change perspective, and focus on something entirely different.

During every full term a two week period take place, also known as alternative weeks, where yo have the option of either going on a Folk High School study trip or staying on campus if you prefer to experience more of Denmark. Joining the alternative program on campus, you have the choice of two or more different programmes – usually an intensive Danish language course and an art project or photoshop course or the like. The programs will vary from semester to semester according to the teachers and students. The programs take place in the morning and in the afternoon the student body go on excursions, etc. The daily structure of alternative weeks are fundamental different from a normal day at International People’s College (read more about a typical day at IPC here). It is custom that about half of the student body go on study trips and half stay at our Folk High School in Denmark and participate in the alternative program.

Below you will find the usual options for our Folk High School study trips. However, the study trips we offer varies according to the current students and teachers and we only offer three of them each semester. If you are not enrolled in a full semester you might not get the chance to experience the alternative weeks at IPC. Usually they take part in the first period of a full term.

NB! The cost of the Folk High School study trip is not included in the tuition fee for attending our Folk High School in Denmark and varies depending on the destination. 

Central Europe: Mayor Cities in EU

The Folk High School study trip to Central Europe is a tour of some of Europe’s major cities. With some variation we visit Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Budapest or Warsaw and typically focus on themes such as the rise and fall of totalitarian regimes, economic change, and transition to democracy. This study trip gives a general insight into European culture and history – and it is of course a lot of fun!

Price: Approx. 5.500 DKK. Please note that payment for the study trip is in addition to the regular tuition fee for attending our Folk High School in Denmark. The price for the study trip includes plane tickets, accommodation, meals, train tickets, basic travel insurance, and entry fees for museums.
