Hf og VUC Roskilde-Køge

What Hf og VUC Roskilde-Køge does

Hf og VUC Roskilde-Køge is a publicly funded Danish adult education institution (Voksenuddannelsescenter) operating two campuses in Roskilde (Læderstræde 4) and Køge (Uddannelsesvej 22B), serving approximately 2,000 students with a staff of roughly 102–108. The institution delivers the full portfolio of Danish adult education: 2-year and 3-year HF (Højere Forberedelseseksamen, including specialised 3-year tracks for dyslexic students and a 3-year HFA+ with Adapted Study Form for students with autism spectrum disorder), AVU (general adult education at 9th–10th grade level), FVU (preparatory adult education in Danish and mathematics), OBU (dyslexia instruction and testing), Dansk som andetsprog (Danish as a second language), and individual competence assessment. The HF qualification provides access to 65 different short- and medium-length higher education programmes in Denmark.

The technology stack is built on commercial off-the-shelf educational platforms: Instructure Canvas as the LMS, Ludus for student administration (schedules, grades, attendance), UMS for schedule management and password reset, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, ExamCookie for digital exam proctoring, the school's own webshop at tilmelding.vucroskilde.dk for adult-course enrollment, MobilePay and Dankort/PBS for fee collection, and MinSU for student financial support integration. Specialized assistive technology (AppWriter, Intowords, Nota) is provisioned for dyslexic students under the SPS (special pedagogical support) framework. IT requirements mandate student laptops meeting minimum specs (Windows 10/11 or macOS 12+, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage), with school PCs available for AVU/FVU students.

The business model is tax-funded primary revenue via Danish Ministry of Children and Education taximeter subsidies tied to enrollment and completion, supplemented by participant fees (HF single subjects 550–1,400 DKK, AVU 150–300 DKK, pensioner and higher-education surcharges up to 17,300 DKK), B2B revenue from VUC Erhverv corporate training, and operating-agreement revenue from Driftsoverenskomst partner institutions delivering FVU/OBU at external sites. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the national optagelse.dk admission portal for HF programmes, the school webshop for adult courses, and in-person study guidance at both campuses. The institution is currently pursuing a merger (fusion) with Roskilde Handelsskole, expected to take effect within 1–2 years pending Ministry approval, which would consolidate gymnasial and vocational programmes (HHX, EUD, EUX, HF, AVU, FVU, OBU, EPX) under one institution.
