Minister for Higher Education and Science Christina Egelund has just had what she calls a wake-up call<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Far more international students are to be admitted to universities than the government originally envisaged in the comprehensive master’s degree reform that was agreed in the summer of 2022. This is according to Christina Egelund on the media site Berlingske.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00bbWe are at that point today where we have to be grateful every time a young person from somewhere else in the world looks towards Denmark. We have a big need for them, and there is fierce competition for qualified young people and qualified labour,\u00ab she said to Berlingske.<\/p>\n

With the reform of the master’s degree programmes, a political majority agreed to increase the number of international students in Denmark. Specifically, the universities can set up 1,100 master’s degree spaces in English each year in the period 2024-2028. This number will then be increased to 2,500 from the year 2029.<\/p>\n

But it is not enough according to Christina Egelund. She cannot yet put a number on exactly how many international students there will be.<\/p>\n

Open the doors, set the universities free<\/h3>\n

It is gratifying that the minister now proposes opening the doors to even more international students, according to Kristian Cedervall Lauta, Prorector for Education at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

I think the universities should be set free to admit all those who it is academically meaningful to admit<\/p>\n

Prorector for Education, Kristian Cedervall Lauta<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00bbMore international students bring greater diversity to our student population, and they bring new energy to our teaching environment with all their new perspectives and backgrounds,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

In addition to contributing positively to the teaching environment, more international students at Danish universities will also help strengthen international university collaborations, according to Lauta.<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe are working to ensure that more of the international students choose to stay in Denmark and work after graduation. And those who don’t will go home and tell amazing stories about Copenhagen and the University of Copenhagen,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

Universities have for a long time wanted to open their doors to the international community.<\/p>\n

If it were up to you, how many international students should we admit to Danish universities?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bbI think the universities should be set free to admit all those who it is academically meaningful to admit,\u00ab says Lauta and adds:<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe probably won’t be allowed to do that. But we welcome the political promise to admit more international students, and this includes through the new vocational business master’s degree programme schemes.\u00ab<\/p>\n

In the new master’s degree reform a total of 30 per cent of the current master’s programmes are to be reorganised. 10 per cent are to be converted into shorter master’s degree programmes of 75 ECTS, while 20 per cent are to be converted into business master’s degree programmes.<\/p>\n

Political ambitions are concerning<\/h3>\n

Christina Egelund says to the media Berlingske that she sees an opportunity to admit more international students through the new business master’s scheme programmes, because the students do not get the generous Danish SU study grant under this scheme.<\/p>\n

\u00bbSU is the biggest obstacle. Today, there is a ceiling on the number of foreigners who can receive SU. And before they take a look at it from a political perspective, it will still be quite limited how many international students we can admit,\u00ab Lauta says.<\/p>\n

As prorector I worry about how we in practice will be able to advertise cool jobs and business collaborations for so many international students in practice<\/p>\n

Prorector for Education, Kristian Cedervall Lauta<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some say that the vocational business master’s degree programmes will be more oriented towards the Danish market than abroad. Will it be attractive for international students to do a business master’s in Denmark?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bbThis could be true, and the potential is therefore probably a little more limited than the minister suggests,\u00ab says the prorector.<\/p>\n

\u00bbBut you can only hope that you make it attractive for international students to work in Denmark by offering them a vocational business master’s degree programme,\u00ab he adds.<\/p>\n

Time will tell whether this will be the case. Approximately one in three international students choose to stay in Denmark after graduation. This was according to the media Berlingske in January 2022<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

It will be a huge practical task to incorporate thousands of international students into new business master’s degree programmes, according to Kristian Cedervall Lauta.<\/p>\n

\u00bbAs prorector I worry about how we in practice will be able to advertise cool jobs and business collaborations for so many international students in practice.\u00ab<\/p>\n

But according to Lauta, there are also advantages in offering international students the vocational business master’s degrees:<\/p>\n

\u00bbYou ensure that international students are integrated into the Danish labour market right from the start and thereby contribute to the Danish state [as taxpayers, ed.]. In return, they get a free education and a good job. There are good things in this, so we have to hope that it can also be done in reality.\u00ab

This is according to Christina Egelund on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berlingske.dk\/politik\/christina-egelund-har-faaet-et-gigantisk-wakeupcall-nu-vil-hun-aabne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media site Berlingske.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/deal-struck-on-reform-of-danish-universities-here-are-the-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deal struck on reform of Danish universities: Here are the details<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe are at that point today where we have to be grateful every time a young person from somewhere else in the world looks towards Denmark. We have a big need for them, and there is fierce competition for qualified young people and qualified labour,\u00ab she said to Berlingske.<\/p>\n<p>With the reform of the master’s degree programmes, a political majority agreed to increase the number of international students in Denmark. Specifically, the universities can set up 1,100 master’s degree spaces in English each year in the period 2024-2028. This number will then be increased to 2,500 from the year 2029.<\/p>\n<p>But it is not enough according to Christina Egelund. She cannot yet put a number on exactly how many international students there will be.<\/p>\n<h3>Open the doors, set the universities free<\/h3>\n<p>It is gratifying that the minister now proposes opening the doors to even more international students, according to Kristian Cedervall Lauta, Prorector for Education at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think the universities should be set free to admit all those who it is academically meaningful to admit<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Prorector for Education, Kristian Cedervall Lauta<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00bbMore international students bring greater diversity to our student population, and they bring new energy to our teaching environment with all their new perspectives and backgrounds,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to contributing positively to the teaching environment, more international students at Danish universities will also help strengthen international university collaborations, according to Lauta.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe are working to ensure that more of the international students choose to stay in Denmark and work after graduation. And those who don’t will go home and tell amazing stories about Copenhagen and the University of Copenhagen,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>Universities have for a long time wanted to open their doors to the international community.<\/p>\n<p><em>If it were up to you, how many international students should we admit to Danish universities?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI think the universities should be set free to admit all those who it is academically meaningful to admit,\u00ab says Lauta and adds:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe probably won’t be allowed to do that. But we welcome the political promise to admit more international students, and this includes through the new vocational business master’s degree programme schemes.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>In the new master’s degree reform a total of 30 per cent of the current master’s programmes are to be reorganised. 10 per cent are to be converted into shorter master’s degree programmes of 75 ECTS, while 20 per cent are to be converted into business master’s degree programmes.<\/p>\n<h3>Political ambitions are concerning<\/h3>\n<p>Christina Egelund says to the media Berlingske that she sees an opportunity to admit more international students through the new business master’s scheme programmes, because the students do not get the generous Danish SU study grant under this scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbSU is the biggest obstacle. Today, there is a ceiling on the number of foreigners who can receive SU. And before they take a look at it from a political perspective, it will still be quite limited how many international students we can admit,\u00ab Lauta says.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As prorector I worry about how we in practice will be able to advertise cool jobs and business collaborations for so many international students in practice<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Prorector for Education, Kristian Cedervall Lauta<\/p>\n<p> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Some say that the vocational business master’s degree programmes will be more oriented towards the Danish market than abroad. Will it be attractive for international students to do a business master’s in Denmark?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThis could be true, and the potential is therefore probably a little more limited than the minister suggests,\u00ab says the prorector.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbBut you can only hope that you make it attractive for international students to work in Denmark by offering them a vocational business master’s degree programme,\u00ab he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell whether this will be the case. Approximately one in three international students choose to stay in Denmark after graduation. This was according to<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.berlingske.dk\/politik\/koebenhavns-universitet-om-tudetosset-beslutning-de-kunne-staa-klar-til-at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the media Berlingske in January 2022<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It will be a huge practical task to incorporate thousands of international students into new business master’s degree programmes, according to Kristian Cedervall Lauta.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbAs prorector I worry about how we in practice will be able to advertise cool jobs and business collaborations for so many international students in practice.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>But according to Lauta, there are also advantages in offering international students the vocational business master’s degrees:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbYou ensure that international students are integrated into the Danish labour market right from the start and thereby contribute to the Danish state [as taxpayers, ed.]. In return, they get a free education and a good job. There are good things in this, so we have to hope that it can also be done in reality.\u00ab<\/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":48,"name":"Politics","slug":"politics","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":48,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1036,"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":11490,"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":673,"filter":"raw"}]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/internationale_studerende.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156618","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=156618"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":156712,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156618\/revisions\/156712"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
