Fortsaettelseskursus for Landbrugskandidater (continuation or advanced courses for candidates in agriculture).-For a candidate in agriculture who desires specialized training in

preparation for a position as Konsulent (consultant) Forsögsledere (director of research), or Laerere ved Landbrugsskole (teacher at an agricultural school) the college offers a Kursus in Jordbrugslaere (course in agriculture) and a Kursus i Husdyrbrug (course in animal husbandry).

Each course begins on September 1 of the odd-numbered years and may be completed in 1% years.

The instruction includes in part participation in the work of regular subjects not previously studied and in part advanced study under the guidance and direction of the instructors concerned through consultation, practical exercises, reading, field trips, working out of written assignments, etc.
