The high quality of Political Sciences and Economics graduate courses at the University of Copenhagen are acknowledged in newly published European rankings, compiled by the German consulting group CHE Consult GmbH.<\/p>\n
CHE Consult GmbH is a consulting company for higher education institutions, science institutes, ministries and foundations. <\/p>\n
CHE conducts a yearly \u2019excellence ranking\u2019 of Masters and Doctoral degree courses at European Universities. In its initial phase, the ranking included only the fields of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. <\/p>\n
This year, the CHE rankings include political science, psychology and economics for the first time.
\nPolitical science and economics graduate courses at the University of Copenhagen qualify for the so-called \u2018excellence group\u2019. <\/p>\n
This is based on citations, publications, internationalisation as well as students\u2019 and researchers\u2019 mobility.
\nAs well as these parameters, the placement is made in the light of students\u2019 opinions, expressed via questionnaires. <\/p>\n
Teaching facilities, research environment, teaching quality and the physical environment were also taken into consideration.<\/p>\n
Troels \u00d8stergaard S\u00f8rensen, Dean at the Faculty of Social Sciences is pleased with Political Science and Economics\u2019 placement in the Excellence group.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe CHE ranking is different because the students were asked about teaching quality. That makes the placement particularly pleasing,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n
He also hopes that it will raise international awareness of Social Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. <\/p>\n
\u00bbResearchers and students are increasingly mobile, and we are experiencing increased international competition when it comes to attracting the best candidates. A categorisation like this one is a great opportunity to increase awareness of good social science courses among prospective international students,\u00ab he explains in a press release.<\/p>\n
