Notably we run two Graduate programmes: One programme is on applied cognitive development with youth and adults – KANUK, which in addition to Danish students also hosts Erasmus and exchange students from across the world and is in collaboration with the psychology department at Seville University, Spain. The second programme is a Clinic for Developmental Communication Disorders - DCD. The clinic offers short term assessment and intervention for school-age children and is in collaboration with NASUD and School of Health Sciences,  City University, London.

We provide supervision in Danish, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Slovakian.
