Students at the largest faculty at UCPH are ready to prevent non-organised staff from working during an upcoming lockout. Education cuts and the employees' salaries and rights are related, say students.
Polish and Balkan Studies will be merged with Russian as a part of the new Bachelor in Eastern European Studies. Future students can apply now.
A new research project shows that women often take a 30 per cent pay cut when they have children. In the meantime, men’s salary remains basically unaffected. UCPH researcher is behind a project that is to find out what is the cause of the discrepancy
Union reps report that both academic and technical administrative staff are largely unclear about the consequences of the lockout. They now make the invitation to four information meetings in the coming week.
A Science Ministry committee charged with improving university education has some good recommendations. It also has one that students and administrators warn is bad. Very bad
A report published last month looking into the effects of Brexit on research suggests it will lead to less collaboration between the Denmark and the UK. University administrators foresee a “bureaucratic nightmare”
Many students have exams, or have to give in bachelor’s assignments, at the beginning of April. This is at the same time as the government's announced lockout. UCPH recommends that students continue their studies as usual.
The dismissal of the geologist Hans Thybo has led to a feeling of insecurity among researchers at the University of Copenhagen. Because if it is so easy to get rid of an unwanted employee, then they could be next in line.
Not everyone stays in town when they get their exam papers. Two landscape architects reckon that they have done the right thing by moving to the island of Mors in the Limfjorden straights in Northern Jutland, where they are both working on developing urban and natural areas.
The renowned geology professor Hans Thybo was fired in November 2016 from the University of Copenhagen. One year later, the two sides settled in a court of arbitration. Now Thybo presents his version of the most controversial personnel case in recent years. University management has not wished to comment on this story.
