Social Sciences on top again<\/h2>\n
Molecular Biomedicine is not the only program which boasts a high average. Faculty of Social Sciences houses Psychology, which this year received 232 applications. Meanwhile, every student applying as a quota 2 applicant – an alternative entry pathway which considers factors beyond grade point average \u2013 must hold an average of 11.5. <\/p>\n
In September, the old municipality hospital which today houses the social science programs will be filled with an ambitious flock of fresh students. All of the Faculty\u2019s six programs have higher entry requirements this year than in 2015, where Economics showed the most significant increase with its requirement of 8.1 against last year\u2019s 7.0. <\/p>\n
Rejected? Don\u2019t despair<\/h2>\n
The University of Copenhagen has since announced that the so-called \u201cdimensioning\u201d strategy – the government\u2019s decision to limit study places in those programs which are believed to generate less employment \u2013 has led to a drop in student intake. <\/p>\n
7440 freshly-graduated high school students will begin university in September, far fewer than the 7921 students accepted last year. <\/p>\n
However, there is still hope for those applicants who, at the strike of midnight, were disappointed to learn that they didn\u2019t score a spot in their dream program \u2013 there are still free places across a range of studies. <\/p>\n
UCPH has offered places to 7312 prospective students, meaning that there is a minimum of 128 free places remaining. \u2018Minimum\u2019, because the current offers do not represent which students have accepted their place, and each year, some of them end up saying \u2018no thanks\u2019 to the offer. <\/p>\n
The Minister of Higher Education and Science represents the coordinated intake and next week will send an overview of the free study spots. In the meantime, those who are keen to scrutinize the numbers can find the grade point averages for each course by clicking the attached PDF-file under UPCH\u2019s grade point average requirement. <\/p>\n

At 00:00 on the dot Saturday, the 7000-plus hopefuls were able to exhale in relief when a message popped up on the screen reading \u201cCongratulations. You have been accepted to the University of Copenhagen.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2>No studies require over 12<\/h2>\n<p>Last year, it made headlines that even several shining 12 grades \u2013 the highest in the Danish secondary school system \u2013 were no guarantee of a place at UCPH. This year, the average entry grade for Molecular Biomedicine dropped to 11.9. It thus remains the course with the highest entry requirement, a figure which only 62 people lived up to this year. <\/p>\n<h2>Higher grades needed to study Humanities<\/h2>\n<p>It has been a tough year for the Humanities, which had to say farewell to five study programs in the spring as a result of squeezed finances and government budget cuts. After the summer vacation, the Faculty will face another round of cuts, but this has not put off ambitious students from applying to Humanities programs.<\/p>\n<p>19 out of 32 Humanities programs have increased their entry requirements, while only 8 studies have declined in average. Linguistics, the study of human language, saw the biggest jump in academic criteria – from a grade point average of 8.2 to 9.5, despite the fact that applicant numbers remained approximately the same. <\/p>\n<p>Rhetoric also continues to be popular: last year, the average increased from 7.5 to 10.0, while this year it went up another notch, from 10.0 to 10.3. But no study program came close to the average grade of the most competitive Humanities study, which was once again Film and Media Studies, which requires an average of 10.8 (against last year\u2019s 10.7). <\/p>\n<p>Humanities\u2019 entry requirements must seen in light of the closure of several programs and the Faculty\u2019s reduced student intake as a result of <a href=\"node\/26556\/\" target=\"blank\">the government\u2019s \u201cdimensioning\u201d strategy<\/a>. 236 fewer applicants were offered study places than in Humanities last year (2073 this year against 2309 in 2015).<\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\n<div class=\"image\">\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/26556\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/sofiecarstennielsencutbackstory.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"title\">\n<div class=\"label\">L\u00e6s mere:<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/26556\">Minister to cut 4,000 study places from Danish universities <\/a> <\/div>\n<div class=\"teaser_text\">\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Social Sciences on top again<\/h2>\n<p>Molecular Biomedicine is not the only program which boasts a high average. Faculty of Social Sciences houses Psychology, which this year received 232 applications. Meanwhile, every student applying as a quota 2 applicant – an alternative entry pathway which considers factors beyond grade point average \u2013 must hold an average of 11.5. <\/p>\n<p>In September, the old municipality hospital which today houses the social science programs will be filled with an ambitious flock of fresh students. All of the Faculty\u2019s six programs have higher entry requirements this year than in 2015, where Economics showed the most significant increase with its requirement of 8.1 against last year\u2019s 7.0. <\/p>\n<h2>Rejected? Don\u2019t despair<\/h2>\n<p>The University of Copenhagen has since announced that the so-called \u201cdimensioning\u201d strategy – the government\u2019s decision to limit study places in those programs which are believed to generate less employment \u2013 has led to a drop in student intake. <\/p>\n<p>7440 freshly-graduated high school students will begin university in September, far fewer than the 7921 students accepted last year. <\/p>\n<p>However, there is still hope for those applicants who, at the strike of midnight, were disappointed to learn that they didn\u2019t score a spot in their dream program \u2013 there are still free places across a range of studies. <\/p>\n<p>UCPH has offered places to 7312 prospective students, meaning that there is a minimum of 128 free places remaining. \u2018Minimum\u2019, because the current offers do not represent which students have accepted their place, and each year, some of them end up saying \u2018no thanks\u2019 to the offer. <\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Higher Education and Science represents the coordinated intake and next week will send an overview of the free study spots. In the meantime, those who are keen to scrutinize the numbers can find the grade point averages for each course by clicking the attached PDF-file under UPCH\u2019s grade point average requirement. <\/p>\n<p>uni-avis@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up for the University Post 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":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":11488,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/img_2151-1280x853.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3243","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=3243"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31151,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3243\/revisions\/31151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
