As a foreign student newly arrived in Denmark, you might feel somewhat uncertain about Danish academic culture and the nature of studies at the University of Copenhagen. It might also seem rather unclear which standards you are supposed to meet, when writing your academic papers, making oral presentations in class or passing an oral exam. To answer these queries and make sure that you get off to a good start ? socially as well as academically ? the MPH-programme has organised an introductory course for all foreign students. Following an introduction to the basics of academic culture in Denmark, we will look at the structure and formulation of the informed argument. Through examples and practical exercises, we will examine the construction of a concise thesis statement, and the choice of an appropriate structure and style for academic assignments. We will also look at useful reading and writing techniques, and special attention will be given to academic vocabulary and presentation skills.
