It is actually possible to point out the study programmes that create growth in society, and the study programmes that historically have led to unemployment and low salaries,\u00ab says Jannik Schack Linnemann.<\/p>\n<p>Hanne Harmsen, vice director for education at the University of Copenhagen does not agree with DE. It is not easy to predict whether a study programme will subsequently lead to real work, she argues. <\/p>\n<h2>It is more about the economy<\/h2>\n<p>This said, she explains to our Danish section <em> Universitetsavisen<\/em>, that the University is, and needs to be, aware of what kind of work life graduates can expect, and \u00bbof course we would prefer everyone to get a job\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe University of Copenhagen is not in any position to be able to decide that an increasing part of Danish young people get a university degree, and then subsequently a secure job,\u00ab Hanne Harmsen says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbAnd this in spite of the fact that the University&#8217;s new strategy is much clearer in having the labour market dimension in its study programmes. A real change in the employment situation, demands an improvement in the economy\u00ab. <\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and events happening in Copenhagen by <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for the University Post\u2019s weekly newsletter here<\/a>.<\/em> <\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"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":11492,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/kidd-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17826","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\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17826"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36012,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17826\/revisions\/36012"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
