Flower of youth or prime of life? There are large age differences among the batches of students starting in September at UCPH.

Professor of bioarchaeology Matthew Collins is in charge of a new research project to investigate thousands of old parchments. It will lead to new insights into the animal husbandry and craftsmanship of the past. Collins can extract data about how people lived by analysing the thousand-year-old proteins.
Psychology is yet again at the top of the list with the highest required grade point average of the University of Copenhagen (UCPH). The grade requirements for the top 10 programmes have generally gone up.
