Five students to receive travel grants
Five students will receive HM Queen Margrethe II's travel grant of DKK 25,000, which will be awarded at the university's annual celebration in September.
At the university’s annual celebration on 11 September, five students will be awarded HM Queen Margrethe II’s travel grant, worth DKK 25,000 each. As the name suggests, the grant is designed to help students gain an international perspective and valuable academic insight, for instance by enabling them to travel abroad.
Each faculty can nominate a student for the scholarship. At Aarhus BSS and Arts, however, the grant is reserved for students of political science and archaeology, respectively - the two disciplines Queen Margrethe studied at Aarhus University.
This year's recipients are:
- Emil Klitgaard Alslev, a Master's student in Archaeology, Arts, will use the grant to undertake a period of study in Greece.
- Molly Guldfeldt Madsen, a Masters student in Political Science, Aarhus BSS, will use the grant to undertake a period of study at Sciences Po in Paris.
- Signe Klitgaard Bitsch, a Master's student in Odontology, Health, will use the grant to strengthen her international perspective and further develop professional competencies.
- Josephine Samantha Nielsen, a Master's student in Geoscience, NAT, will use the grant to gain access to specialised equipment for her Master’s thesis.
- Phillip Ferreira Baade-Pedersen, a Master’s student in Electrical Engineering, Tech, will use the grant to undertake a period of study at KU Leuven in Belgium.
The grant was established as a present to Queen Margrethe on the occasion of her 70th birthday and was later expanded to mark the 40th anniversary of her accession to the throne.
