The Town Haslev 
Haslev is situated in the middle of Zealand 60 km from Copenhagen. It is encircled by woods on three sides and by green fields on one; hence your first impression will be that this is a green town. In the town itself, great importance has also been attached to making the place a green experience for visitors as well as citizens.

Though Haslev is a quiet town, there is a rich cultural life, naturally characterised be the large number of young people attending the education establishments. Above all, there is a large variety of musical events in season, ranging from church concerts to folk and rock music, often performed by local choirs and bands.

The History of the School
The school has a long tradition in the education of craftsmen, building technicians and constructing architects. The school was built in 1922. In 1992 The Department of Building and Construction Management was inaugurated and in 1999 the school was merged with the technical academies in Næstved and Køge. Since then we have been a branch of EUC-Sjælland.

Multidisciplinary Tuition
The tuition is based mainly on multi-disciplinary projects. Such projects may be a building and civil engineering project which the student will complete. Project work is carried out individually as well as in groups and main part of the teaching. Students are examined on this project.

The projects are multi-disciplinary, and as such their preparation involves all the disciplines. The students plan and manage their projects themselves but are supported by the ordinary theory tuition which runs alongside the project work and is as far as possible directly related to the project. Researching information e.g. using the library room and the Internet are also important components of the project work.

All classes have a timetable showing when an individual teacher will be taking their class. Apart from the introductory presentation in the beginning of each lesson the teacher will act mostly as the students' project consultant, in the classroom, helping them with any problems with their projects etc.

Student's Counsil

Behind the school there is a large charming garden, where it is possible to make different sports activities.
