Selection Principles
Our students are the most important treasure we have and we see exchange students as “our” students while they take part in our education. Therefore, welcoming exchange students at our institution is of great importance to us. In order to provide the best possible training for our exchange students we have a selection process where we try to match the student’s wishes and talent with the courses we offer.
At Design School Kolding a student is not just another student but an individual person that we spend many days and hours with. As a small institution, we have to be very careful in our selection process and cannot guarantee seats for all students applying from our partner institutions as both local and exchange students are allocated a place with a desk at our institution. Therefore, we recommend that students consider alternatives in case we are not able to offer them a place.
- A match of wishes for education from the student and the possible courses we offer
Level of the student’s skills, as we need to make sure that the student will benefit from our programs
- Available seats, as we only have a certain capacity. That number can vary as it depends on how many local students there are in the class already.
