able to offer VET courses with English as the medium of instruction in
future.
Established in 1805 by a group of master artisans in Aalborg, the
college is today a self-governing public institution managed by a Board of
Governors and a Management Team. The Chairman of the Board of Governors is Mr.
Ib Rasmussen, and the Management Team is headed by the College Director, Mr.
Lars Mahler. For each daughter college an Advisory Board is set up with
representatives chosen among relevant stakeholders in the professional field
covered.
Together with a number of partner colleges in the Northern
Jutland region, Tech College Aalborg operated The Academy of Professional
Higher Education (NOEA) - Institute of Applied Management until
2008.
As from 1 January 2009, NOEA is detached from Tech College Aalborg
as business entity and educational institution due to new regulations from the
Danish Ministry of Education requiring a separation between institutions
providing pure VET and those providing short-term, professional education at
university level.
NOEA specialises in first level university education in
English language for foreign students. Labelled AP programmes , NOEA at
present offers international education programmes in Hospitality & Tourism
Management, Computer Science, and Financial Management. Find more information

The International Department of Tech College Aalborg is engaged in
VET reform programmes in Central/Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle
East; in enterprise development projects linking Danish companies with business
partners in Africa and Asia; and not least in establishing of globalisation
activities such as teacher and student exchange programmes, school partnerships
and pedagogical development projects at the different daughter colleges. |
