University of Copenhagen
Independent of management
Theme
Stories of sexism, drinking and crazy initiation rituals, a global #metoo movement and a set of guidelines on how to deal with offensive behaviour made the University of Copenhagen the centre of a stormy debate last year.
Medicine is once again at the top of the list, Odontology and Political Science are steadily climbing, and the trend of more women than men applying continues.
We met up with six tutors from across the university’s faculties for a chat about how tutors prepare for the incoming class of students.
We sat down with Centre Director at the Danish Centre for Youth Research, Noemi Katznelson, and asked her to predict which degree programs young Danes will apply to in the coming years. Her crystal ball indicates that social responsibility and job security will be among the top motivating factors.
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.
It can be hard to pull yourself together when your sofa is your bed, and there is a Magnum ice lolly in the freezer. Lucky for you, the University Post has set up this extensive (but not exhaustive) guide to Copenhagen's many reading rooms. So now you are at least one step closer to getting the curriculum over with.
The University of Copenhagen has (at least) one student who is studying now on his tenth year and who, according to himself, is getting a huge benefit out of it every time he goes on the fresher camp for new students. It works as therapy for new students, and for their tutors.
One throws punches, the other prays. A third one shakes her ass. We met six students in the places where they go to be alone.
Do you chew celery, eat herrings, or bang on the keyboard in the reading room? Then please stop. An exam-stricken student guides you through some reading room etiquette.
Emilie and her panel are on call for your quarter-life crisis, your dating questions, and other dilemmas in the podkassen.
