The business master will not only be able to solve a problem for employers, but also for the computer science students, Martin Lillholm believes:<\/p>\n
“Many bachelor graduates have a dream of returning and taking their master\u2019s at a later date \u2013 but then having settled down with fixed income and family, it is not easy to return to a full-time study programme. Now they have the opportunity to pursue this dream. And just graduated bachelor students will from the outset be able to take an active decision and continue on the business master\u2019s programme.”<\/p>\n
Will the employers hire on a part-time basis?<\/h3>\n
The scheme also has another positive effect, according to Martin Lillholm:<\/p>\n
“We should not underestimate that it also provides another opportunity for collaboration with companies, where students can choose courses on what they are working with, and in this way write business projects. From the point of view of society, we get a more direct and dynamic interaction between working life and education.”<\/p>\n
The scheme states that students in part-time master\u2019s programmes must uphold a minimum of 25 hours of weekly work. And computer science is known as a tough study programme. Is there enough time for students on the business master?<\/em><\/p>\n“Yes, when they do their master in four years instead of two, then there is time.”<\/p>\n
But will employers offer 25 hours-a-week positions? Is it not likely that they are most interested in recruiting full-time employees – and that the students therefore need to take their part-time master\u2019s degree on top of their full-time employment?<\/p>\n
“Now we are in the privileged situation that it is largely an employees\u2019 market in computer science, so I think the students will be able to get positions that fit the scheme. But it is important to emphasize that it is a pilot project and that everyone will become the wiser. We will determine if the offering and structure of the model are appropriate. That is why we are doing a pilot: Is this going to take off?”<\/p>\n
Seven other programmes to be included in the scheme<\/h3>\n
According to the Ministry for Higher Education and Research, there is room for an additional seven programmes in the pilot scheme. The eduation programmes need to \u2013 if interested \u2013 apply to participate in the scheme before 1st September 2018.<\/p>\n
The University Post is awaiting a response from the ministry on when other programmes up and beyond the 20 selected (the 13 existing ones and the seven that are forthcoming) will be able to create business master\u2019s programmes if the scheme is made permanent.

And we need to find good ways to educate them. Most of our students have student jobs, and many end up, already as a bachelor, in a full-time job. This leads to a strange catch-22 situation, because the labour market is in dire need of highly educated IT specialists \u2013 but if they employ them in permanent positions before we can finish them as master\u2019s students, it will be hard to live up to this demand.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">THE 13 SELECTED programmes<\/p>\n<p>Here, students will be able to take a master\u2019s degree over a four-year part-time course as part of a pilot project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Business Master programmes in 2018:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Business Administration and Ebusiness (CBS)<br \/>\nNursing (SDU)<br \/>\nLaw (SDU)<br \/>\nLaw (UCPH)<br \/>\nAuditor (SDU)<br \/>\nAuditor (CBS)<br \/>\nAuditor (AAU)<br \/>\nAuditor (AU)<br \/>\nComputer Science (UCPH)<br \/>\nComputer Science (SDU)<br \/>\nAdministration (RUC)<br \/>\nEngineer in Construction Engineering (DTU)<br \/>\nEngineer in Information Technology (DTU)<br \/>\nSoftware Engineer (SDU)<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Business Master programmes in 2019:<\/strong><br \/>\nArchitect (Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Design and Conservation)<br \/>\nArchitect (Aarhus School of Architecture)<br \/>\nBusiness Economics (CBS)<br \/>\nBusiness Economics (SDU)<br \/>\nNursing (AU)<br \/>\nLaw (AU)<br \/>\nComputer Science (IT University)<br \/>\nDigital Innovation and Management (IT University)<br \/>\nDesign (Kolding Design School)<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: ufm.dk<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The business master will not only be able to solve a problem for employers, but also for the computer science students, Martin Lillholm believes:<\/p>\n<p>“Many bachelor graduates have a dream of returning and taking their master\u2019s at a later date \u2013 but then having settled down with fixed income and family, it is not easy to return to a full-time study programme. Now they have the opportunity to pursue this dream. And just graduated bachelor students will from the outset be able to take an active decision and continue on the business master\u2019s programme.”<\/p>\n<h3>Will the employers hire on a part-time basis?<\/h3>\n<p>The scheme also has another positive effect, according to Martin Lillholm:<\/p>\n<p>“We should not underestimate that it also provides another opportunity for collaboration with companies, where students can choose courses on what they are working with, and in this way write business projects. From the point of view of society, we get a more direct and dynamic interaction between working life and education.”<\/p>\n<p><em>The scheme states that students in part-time master\u2019s programmes must uphold a minimum of 25 hours of weekly work. And computer science is known as a tough study programme. Is there enough time for students on the business master?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>“Yes, when they do their master in four years instead of two, then there is time.”<\/p>\n<p>But will employers offer 25 hours-a-week positions? Is it not likely that they are most interested in recruiting full-time employees – and that the students therefore need to take their part-time master\u2019s degree on top of their full-time employment?<\/p>\n<p>“Now we are in the privileged situation that it is largely an employees\u2019 market in computer science, so I think the students will be able to get positions that fit the scheme. But it is important to emphasize that it is a pilot project and that everyone will become the wiser. We will determine if the offering and structure of the model are appropriate. That is why we are doing a pilot: Is this going to take off?”<\/p>\n<h3>Seven other programmes to be included in the scheme<\/h3>\n<p>According to the Ministry for Higher Education and Research, there is room for an additional seven programmes in the pilot scheme. The eduation programmes need to \u2013 if interested \u2013 apply to participate in the scheme before 1st September 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The University Post is awaiting a response from the ministry on when other programmes up and beyond the 20 selected (the 13 existing ones and the seven that are forthcoming) will be able to create business master\u2019s programmes if the scheme is made permanent.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Receive a weekly newsletter in your inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","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":11488,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/juralaesesalwebsize-1280x854.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63172","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\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63172"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63224,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63172\/revisions\/63224"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
