This will be in particular for subjects that involve complex technology.<\/li>\n<li>A part-time vocational industry master&#8217;s degree programme. The programme already exists, but it is to be far more widespread and flexible. It can be done while the student upholds a job.

But the reform proposal states that the majority of the places will be found on study programmes in the humanities and social sciences, and only to a lesser extent in the health, natural sciences and technical areas. The specific study programmes are to be selected in co-operation with the university community and the different stakeholders in business.<\/p>\n<h3>More international programmes<\/h3>\n<p>The

the Danish government will allow universities to set up 1,100 English-language student places, and from 2029, 2,500 English-language student places are to be set up every year.<\/li>\n<li>The
