The proposal is welcomed by Rie Snekkerup, Vice-Provost for Education at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), who says they have wanted a more flexible exchange programme for quite some time.<\/p>\n
\u00bbWe have been pushing for virtual exchanges, because it gives students more options. And they can, for example, follow courses that go beyond what the University of Copenhagen can offer. It also becomes more flexible when, for example, you can take a course at the Sorbonne or at Heidelberg while following three subjects in Denmark,\u00ab says Snekkerup.<\/p>\n
She also believes that the virtual exchange programme will be able to create an international network of other foreign students.<\/p>\n
\u00bbVirtual exchange ensures that students get much more flexibility in terms of putting their semester together, and in exchange opportunities at foreign universities, without having to travel. It also offers flexibility the other way around, so foreign students can follow selected courses at the University of Copenhagen,\u00ab says Rie Snekkerup.<\/p>\n
According to the legislation, the ambition is to create flexible exchange agreements between Danish universities and universities abroad that can either be carried out completely, or just partly, digitally.<\/p>\n
\u00bbStudents can gain more knowledge and understanding of international conditions and of other cultures by completing part of a higher education programme at an educational institution abroad,\u00ab the ministry writes.<\/p>\n

Proposed legislation on virtual exchange<\/p>\n
\u25cf Through virtual exchanges, students can complete their degree programmes at foreign educational institutions either fully or partially.<\/p>\n
\u25cf The proposal is not intended to change the options for physical student exchanges between Danish and foreign educational institutions.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Nor is the proposal intended to change how educational institutions otherwise organize their teaching.<\/p>\n
\u25cf The bill has been submitted for consultation by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.<\/p>\n
\u25cf The proposal covers all higher education programmes under the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.<\/p>\n
Source: The Ministry of Higher Education and Science<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Ministry of Higher Education and Science stresses that new opportunities for virtual exchange should not replace traditional exchanges, but simply act as a supplement \u2013 especially for students who, for various reasons, are unable to take part in traditional exchange programmes.<\/p>\n
\u00bbVirtual exchange would give students who \u2014 due to physical, health, or family circumstances \u2014 have difficulty participating in physical exchanges, the opportunity to complete parts of their study at foreign educational institutions,\u00ab the ministry writes in the bill.<\/p>\n
Exchange starved of culture<\/h3>\n
The National Union of Danish Students welcomes the set-up of more flexible exchange agreements.<\/p>\n
\u00bbIt is really a good thing that we want to extend the opportunities for study in several different ways. And being able to take a digital course at a foreign university is an exciting supplement to that,\u00ab says Esben Bj\u00f8rn Salmonsen, chairman of the National Union of Danish Students.<\/p>\n
\u00bbIt is, as a rule, really expensive to go on a physical exchange, so I think it’s particularly positive for students who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford a university study programme abroad,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n
He does not think, however, that a digital study programme should necessarily be classified as an ‘exchange’ in the first place.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe traditional exchange is much more than just an academic one \u2013 and when all the cultural and relational aspects are cut out of it, I don’t know if you can still call it an exchange programme,\u00ab says Esben Bj\u00f8rn Salmonsen.<\/p>\n
And even though he is generally positive about the proposal, he is concerned if a new digital solution replaces the physical exchange.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe physical exchange is, of course, administratively complicated for many universities. And even though the bill states that it is not the intention to replace physical exchange, I am still worried about whether they will continue to prioritize the resources needed to send students on physical stays abroad,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n
In response to his criticism, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science states:<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe purpose of the bill is to give higher education institutions the opportunity to enter into exchange agreements with more flexible exchange programmes than is presently the case. The purpose is not to limit students’ opportunities,\u00ab the ministry writes to the University Post.<\/p>\n
The ministry proposes that the bill comes into effect from 1 January 2024.

And they can, for example, follow courses that go beyond what the University of Copenhagen can offer. It also becomes more flexible when, for example, you can take a course at the Sorbonne or at Heidelberg while following three subjects in Denmark,\u00ab says Snekkerup.<\/p>\n<p>She also believes that the virtual exchange programme will be able to create an international network of other foreign students.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbVirtual exchange ensures that students get much more flexibility in terms of putting their semester together, and in exchange opportunities at foreign universities, without having to travel. It also offers flexibility the other way around, so foreign students can follow selected courses at the University of Copenhagen,\u00ab says Rie Snekkerup.<\/p>\n<h3>Better opportunities for more people<\/h3>\n<p>According to the legislation, the ambition is to create flexible exchange agreements between Danish universities and universities abroad that can either be carried out completely, or just partly, digitally.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbStudents can gain more knowledge and understanding of international conditions and of other cultures by completing part of a higher education programme at an educational institution abroad,\u00ab the ministry writes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">FACTS<\/p>\n<p>Proposed legislation on virtual exchange<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Through virtual exchanges, students can complete their degree programmes at foreign educational institutions either fully or partially.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf The proposal is not intended to change the options for physical student exchanges between Danish and foreign educational institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Nor is the proposal intended to change how educational institutions otherwise organize their teaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf The bill has been submitted for consultation by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf The proposal covers all higher education programmes under the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: The Ministry of Higher Education and Science<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Ministry of Higher Education and Science stresses that new opportunities for virtual exchange should not replace traditional exchanges, but simply act as a supplement \u2013 especially for students who, for various reasons, are unable to take part in traditional exchange programmes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbVirtual exchange would give students who \u2014 due to physical, health, or family circumstances \u2014 have difficulty participating in physical exchanges, the opportunity to complete parts of their study at foreign educational institutions,\u00ab the ministry writes in the bill.<\/p>\n<h3>Exchange starved of culture<\/h3>\n<p>The National Union of Danish Students welcomes the set-up of more flexible exchange agreements.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is really a good thing that we want to extend the opportunities for study in several different ways. And being able to take a digital course at a foreign university is an exciting supplement to that,\u00ab says Esben Bj\u00f8rn Salmonsen, chairman of the National Union of Danish Students.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is, as a rule, really expensive to go on a physical exchange, so I think it’s particularly positive for students who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford a university study programme abroad,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>He does not think, however, that a digital study programme should necessarily be classified as an ‘exchange’ in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe traditional exchange is much more than just an academic one \u2013 and when all the cultural and relational aspects are cut out of it, I don’t know if you can still call it an exchange programme,\u00ab says Esben Bj\u00f8rn Salmonsen.<\/p>\n<p>And even though he is generally positive about the proposal, he is concerned if a new digital solution replaces the physical exchange.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe physical exchange is, of course, administratively complicated for many universities. And even though the bill states that it is not the intention to replace physical exchange, I am still worried about whether they will continue to prioritize the resources needed to send students on physical stays abroad,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>In response to his criticism, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science states:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe purpose of the bill is to give higher education institutions the opportunity to enter into exchange agreements with more flexible exchange programmes than is presently the case. The purpose is not to limit students’ opportunities,\u00ab the ministry writes to the University Post.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry proposes that the bill comes into effect from 1 January 2024.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"en","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Get an email with our top stories","button_text":"Sign up here","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":42,"name":"Education","slug":"education","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":42,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":661,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11493,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[{"term_id":5468,"name":"Optional","slug":"optional-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":5468,"taxonomy":"translation_priority","description":"","parent":0,"count":674,"filter":"raw"}]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/10_university_of_sydney_nguyen_ngoc_tuan_uden_billedtekst.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154460"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":154464,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154460\/revisions\/154464"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
