Associate professor in Latin Christian Troelsgård would have lost his life’s work and calling if the University of Copenhagen had maintained his dismissal after almost 27 years of employment.

On July 26, thousands of hopeful young people will receive an answer to their university application. We spoke with the Head of Studievalg Danmark in Southern Jutland – a centre that offers special study guidance – about how to deal with all possible application scenarios. His number one piece of advice? »Don’t panic.«
