Reflective Practice-Based Learning
Read about our learning approach at UCN
Common to all our programmes is the focus on educating you for the real world. Our slogan is “Real Life Education”, and we mean this very literally. You will at least be spending a term at a work placement, and we strive to continuously develop our curriculum in collaboration with the professions, we train for.
Another common feature is our great learning environment, in which classroom teaching is key. We combine the academic and social aspects of studying, hereby easing the transition to becoming an independent student. The interaction between theory and practice combined with personal reflection remains the absolute core of all our study programmes – and the basis of our learning approach Reflective Practice-Based Learning.
Getting ready for the future
In the course of your studies you will be inspired to be creative, to explore and to be innovative; and you will learn to look critically at your own learning, your experience, your knowledge and practice. You bring your own values and personality into play, and through reflecting on your own practice you develop your personal judgement and ability to act professionally.
In the study programme you will also be working closely together with your fellow students. You learn to share knowledge and to work towards a common goal together with others. In that way you build up an important reflective competence which is decisive for being innovative, independent and productive in the labour market of the future.
Study environment
Everyday life is inspired by many different young people and a pulse that generates an atmosphere and energy on campus
The Digital Concept Development programme shares the campus at Sofiendalsvej 60 with other AP degree and Bachelor degree programmes that all belong under the umbrella of UCN Technology.
This means that everyday life is inspired by many different young people and a pulse that generates an atmosphere and energy on campus.
Day-to-day life
Your day-to-day life as a student on the Digital Concept Development programme is shaped by our form of studying, which means that lectures and project work goes along side by side and the school facilities will be used extensively. Both classrooms as well as project work areas all over create a great study atmosphere. This all contributes a vibrant environment.
We have a tradition of a Friday Bar that opens on Fridays after 12 o’clock. The otherwise pulsating beat turns into a relaxed and social Friday-afternoon atmosphere that usually marks the beginning of an enjoyable weekend.
The school is in charge of theme events and parties during the year.
