For professor Jørgen Bo Larson, retired life is still full of adventure. He will move to a completely different culture, and continue his passion for working with forests.
Saturday 6th October 2018, Margrethe Vestager became an honorary alumna at the University of Copenhagen. Here she talks about her life as a student of economics. About studying when others went out on the town. About changing her study programme from the inside. And about what she took along with her when she graduated.
A new master’s program will train economists, political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists to gather and analyse big data.
Karoline Schnorr has her own business, cultivating organic flowers, alongside her studies in natural resources at UCPH.
The University of Copenhagen has dropped from number 109 to 116 on the Times Higher Education list of the world's best universities. UCPH is still Denmark's best university.
A group of students from eight different study programmes are in one laboratory at the Thorvaldsensvej street complex. They have one goal. They have dedicated their summer holidays to making a mobile medicine ‘suitcase’ that future Mars inhabitants can take with them into space.
Management at the Faculty of Law have expressly forbidden theme parties where new students dress up like Mexicans, Olympic athletes of different nationalities, and theologians. But you are welcome to dress up as ‘rich kids' and high achievers.
What started as a problem with the university’s computers during the summer break that made it impossible for Mikkel Klattrup Larsen to get an extension on his bachelor’s project almost turned into a semester-long wait for him to start his master’s. Only a month-long struggle with the administration prevented the worst from happening. Larsen hopes others don’t have to go through what he did
Minister for Higher Education Tommy Ahlers (V) proposes extending bachelor graduates’ legal right of admission to master’s programmes to three years, removing grade bonuses, and making it easier for students to design their own programme of study. He will not, however, change the study progress reform and cap on education programmes.
According to Universities Denmark figures, the annual two per cent cut to education programmes has so far cost hundreds of employees their jobs at the University of Copenhagen.
