New work-integrated Master’s degree programmes are being launched at AU
Several new Master’s degree programmes have just been approved by Christina Egelund (M), Minister for Science, Higher Education and Digital Affairs. New work-integrated Master’s programmes are being established at Aarhus University and will be taught in English. Three new short Master’s degree programmes and five Bachelor’s degree programmes have also been approved.
Christina Egelund, Minister for Science, Higher Education and Digital Affairs, has approved 44 new degree programmes. The Ministry announced this in a press release (In Danish, ed.).
The degree programmes comprise entirely new degree programmes and new versions of existing ones. The degree programmes are being set up across the country and are partly intended to improve opportunities for combining work and study.
“As the world changes, our educational opportunities must also evolve. Several of the new degree programmes are helping to open up alternative routes to a master’s degree – for both Danish and international students. I hope that many people will seize these new opportunities – and choose to undertake a degree programme closely linked to the job market,” says Minister for Science, Higher Education and Digital Affairs, Christina Egelund, in the press release.
23 of the 44 degree programmes are offered at AU
Of the 44 degree programmes, 23 are being established at Aarhus University. These include five bachelor’s degree programmes, comprising Global Studies, Classical Studies and the language programmes Spanish, German and French. In addition, AU has had three new short Master’s degree programmes worth 75 ECTS credits approved: Applied Data Analytics, Nature and Landscape Management, and Science Communication. All three are offered in English. The remaining 15 are work-integrated Master’s degree programmes of 120 ECTS, which make it possible to combine work and study to a greater extent than previously. The first year will be a full-time study with the possibility of SU, whilst the following two years will be part-time studies combined with relevant work experience.
Several of the new work-integrated Master’s degree programmes are offered in the field of engineering, as well as in a range of other STEM and IT programmes. And they are taught in English, so they also appeal to international students.
