The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) stands to lose DKK 13 million a year with a new grant distribution policy. This is a loss that UCPH can live with.

The House of the Danish Industry Foundation is the new home of the Sino-Danish Center in Beijing, China, where Danish students can choose between seven different master's programmes. Nanotechnology student Sylvester Langvad talked to us about his experiences in Beijing.

Michelle Jensen managed, despite her mental disability, to go through the first year of her agricultural economics studies in the prescribed time. Yet she fears she may be forced to drop out if she now applies for dispensation for a delay. After the Study Progress Reform, Danish universities do not often give students with disabilities extra time to complete the studies, as this would set off financial penalties.
