All pre-IB students’ applications to IBG must be re-confirmed in the Danish online admission system www.optagelse.dk - even if you have already received a letter of acceptance from us. 

Please follow the guide to re-confirm your admission. 

It is very important that you re-confirm admission before March 1^st 2024, as your acceptance to the school will be withdrawn by the Ministry if your registration in the www.optagelse.dk admission system is missing.

Therefore, if you are not crossing the municipal border, a bus pass is not necessary.You cannot apply for a bus pass via www.ungdomskort.dk before you are registered in Denmark with a cpr number. If you need to use the bus for the month(s) until your CPR number comes through, you must pay per ride. The app Midttrafik may be handy.

Ikast-Brande Gymnasium does not offer students any insurance while they stay in Denmark and students are not covered by any school insurance. 

Please make sure that your child is insured while studying and living in Denmark. We recommend insurance coverage which covers liability, accidents, and theft. You may wish to insure your child beyond these three types of insurances. Please note that the school does not take any responsibility for insurance coverage while your child studies in Denmark.
