A proposed amendment to the law would allow universities to conduct background checks on, and reject, international students from selected countries. AU welcomes the proposed change to the law. We have called for this option ourselves, says Vice-Dean Brian Vinter. The goal is to protect critical research.

Up to 200,000 current and former students, staff, and guests may have been affected. The data includes civil registration numbers (CPR numbers) and other personal information.

History student Asger Stavsholm Tonsberg feels his supplementary subject in German leaves too little room for critical engagement with the syllabus. Many of us will go on to become upper secondary school teachers, which is precisely why this is so concerning. A teacher who has never been taught to challenge a narrative critically will struggle to pass that skill on to their pupils, he writes.

In education, we often use static products such as written exams as evidence of a dynamic learning process. But it is time to rethink assessment in a way that makes the process more visible, suggests Prajakt Pande, Associate Professor at the Centre for Educational Development.

Police will not bring charges over a UV installation that left 23 students seeking treatment for pain and other symptoms in 2024. Following the police decision to close the case, AU has rejected compensation claims from the six students who sought damages for pain and suffering.

More AU students are once again opting to study abroad, according to new figures from Aarhus University. This is a really positive development, says International Director Rikke Nielsen.
