The Gymnasium offers a 3-year general upper secondary programme which builds on the 9th-10th form of the Folkeskole and leads to the upper secondary school exit examination. This qualifies a student for admission to higher education, subject to the special entrance regulations applying to the individual higher education programmes.
The academically-oriented general upper secondary education which leads to the upper secondary school exit examination is offered at approximately 140 Gymnasiums of varying size, distributed all over Denmark. The smallest Gymnasium has 76 students, the largest 760 (2000).
The upper secondary school leaving examination can also be taken within special 2-year courses for adult students.
In order to be admitted to the first year of the Gymnasium, pupils must have completed the 9th form of basic school.
All pupils that have received the relevant education and passed the prescribed examinations can continue to an upper secondary programme of more or less their own choosing.
Access, however, is not always automatically granted to general upper secondary programmes. If a school finds that the pupil and their parents are not taking the education and guidance provided seriously, and/or that there is a risk that the pupil will not be able to meet the requirements of the general upper secondary programmes, the pupil may be recommended to sit for an admission test to one of the general upper secondary programmes.
The Gymnasium is divided into years and lines: a language line and a mathematics line. The instruction comprises obligatory subjects common to all students in the line chosen and a number of optional subjects.
The students have different teachers for different subjects, and it is normal that these teachers stay with a class for an entire course.
The course of instruction lasts three years and is given in two different lines: the language line and the mathematics line. The instruction comprises obligatory subjects common to all students in the line chosen and optional subjects at two levels: high level and intermediate level.
The obligatory subjects in both lines are: biology, classical studies, religious education, Danish, English, geography, history, music, visual arts, and physical education. In the language line, the instruction also includes German or FrenchFrench le francais la langue francaise is one of the most important Romance languages, outnumbered only by Spanish and Portuguese.
