Denmark Cancels International Study Spots - Why? (Interview with VIA UC Lecturer) 2021
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- 25. June 2021 was a day that raised controversy among many internationals and Danes. Social media of international communities was bombarded with news about the new ruling: everyone sharing their for- or against- opinion, with the majority blaming the government for this decision and Danes showing support for the community of international students.
The new ruling implies that the majority of English-taught programs from academies and university-colleges will be reduced significantly starting summer 2022.
So how did this come to happen...again? To find out, we investigated the topic and interview at lecturer from @VIAuc Flemming Bentzen, to get an opinion from the university affected directly by the change.
Little correction to the continuation of Bachelor’s after top-up: it has not yet been decided if they will allow this, or not. Furthermore, it will always be possible to finish BA in Danish
To clarify a statement: Agents in Eastern European countries offer high-school students different packages of collage applications. In the package 'garant' they guarantee you that you will receive a spot at a university, otherwise they have to reimburse you the costs - which naturally leads one to think that in order not to lose sales, they will get students to any university, regardless of the quality of either party involved.
These agents are collaborating with the universities closely and therefore one hypothesis is that agents know which universities need students and, can therefore, send application on behalf of the high-schooler to selected university.

If you have any questions, post them in the comments under this video. Some other students might jump into the conversation and help you :)
this is devastating news, I was going to enroll at a Danish uni from 2022.
*sad whistle sounds* yes I agree, but you can still study engineering/IT and some other selected programmes - check out the screenshot I put there
@@StudentSurvivalGuide Hi, studyindenmark website show 29 bachelor programmes for Denmark universities. Do you maybe know if those would be still available in 2022?
Great video summing up such a saddening situation! Appreciate seeing Flemming again and hearing his input on the whole thing. Fingers crossed the authorities will change their opinion sooner than later.
Thank you Ieva :) Yes, I hope too that there will be audience for our content in coming years again haha
Oh my....this is one of the toughest video I have watched this year.
Nevertheless,it was informative.
..it like broke my heart.I was ready to start my applications for next year having missed the cut last year.
I'm very sorry to hear that... try university or possibly IT/Engineering programmes, they are not closing them all :)
Us it possible to apply for these courses with a foundation ( my bachelor is) in Tourism management.
Although am currently working in a telecommunications company
well that's a shame, I just started learning danish half year ago hoping I'd get confident in it by the time I finish high school, but now I can't know whether the government will cut the courses further or bring them back, I can't make any long term plans pike that
So, In my case I'll be registering university in 2023. My current plan: I'm going to study bachelor's in Denmark, and then master degree and even a PhD in some other European or north American country. My question is that; hence these changes what's going to be different from my aspect, are there will be less chance for me as an international student to get in a uni in Denmark ? I hope someone will answer, and thank you from now you people for taking your time and helping...
AFAIK this should not affect the standard big universities in Denmark, and I assume that's what you are looking for when mentioning a phd
so i did not understood at all, for example arhitectural tehnology and construction management at Via university college is still a good choice or not , will i have difficulties to find a job after graduation in another country of the europe?
That is a good question, the programme is likely a good fit for you if you have passion for the field. As with any other work, getting into the industry might be difficult but if you have a good network and/or skills, everything is possible!

Hi! great video. I really enjoyed the way you tried to put things into perspective by showing both sides of the coin. In the last part it was kind of difficult to hear your questions to the teacher (in some spots) but thanks for sharing!
I agree, I had to setup everything by myself and the microphone was rather crappy. Hopefully next time around I can save up for better gear haha
I would like to study an Electronics Bachelor's at the SDU in the 2024 course, do you think that it will continue as now?
Again, thank you for making these videos. this one gave me a shock since I just started out in Denmark, at a very good uni
Indeed, it's been shocking news but at least this video gives both sides of the coin - you can make your own opinion on it thereafter
Hi, what do you know about PHD programs in English? they won t be affected right?
No, PhD will be fine :) Best of luck!
To put on top of this you should do a video on the 10% reductions in the full universities here in Denmark.
As a 3rd semester marketing student at VIA, it seems like I will have a rough time receiving a study place for a business related top-up degree, but if not, what countries do even recognize a danish AP degree so I can continue finishing a bachelor?
By the way great input on the topic and keep up the good work.
Thank you Andrei! I know that UK and Wales accepts AP degrees. A friend of mine finished his studies there in only 1 year (or perhaps even 1 semester, find out for yourself)
Without being biased by the fact that I got accepted to my Master’s at CBS and going to start in September, I strongly agree with your lecturer’s opinion. Got mine Bachelor’s degree done in London (being from Czech Republic) and perspective, new culture experience, different opinions, coming from other environments, etc… That’s what makes international students invaluable to the university. It is unfortunate to hear about some that are just using the system, however, it is a common practise in many countries, including mine, where universities are funded, moreover you receive other benefits to it… nevertheless, as rightly stated, even if only 20% would stay in DK (I believe the percentage must be at least a double, if not more) than they will repay for them all in no time - this is how the system works in the UK… Anyway, can’t wait to experience a life in Denmark. Cheers for the content.
Yes, I completely agree, unfortunately the number is indeed roughly 21% that remain in Denmark after graduation - but as the lecturer mentioned, this is enough to pay for the rest - I know people that are already working in Denmark for 2-3 years and they got to Denmark together with me. They work in IT companies and pay 10-15k in taxes every month, and will continue to do so for coming decades.
Amazing video. I am starting marketing management at UCN this year, what top-up did you take to get into Aarhus university? I actually already have a professional bachelors, but I am going to fix my mistakes and go learn Danish so that I can take a top-up in Danish.
Good thinking! I had to take extra ECTS courses at AU in order to get to Master's - do a pre-asessment and they will tell you which courses you need to take
Thank you for the information, It’s very usefull
Hie!! Mange Tak!! for all the information and efforts. I will be moving soon to Denmark for my masters. May I ask you if its allowed for students to freelance or be self-employed? I paint and I would love to sell my art if its allowed. your reply would be of great help.
LOVE FROM INDIA!!
Thankyou.
Pooja.
Sure it is! Send me a link to your portfolio if you get a chance, would love to check it out
Hi I have this question, I was planning to apply to a Danish university in March 2022 (and start my education in the September of the same year). Is this policy already reducing the spots of international students who are going to apply in the spring of this year?
It mainly affects students who want to start in 2022, sadly
Hello! I'm from Nepal? What is your feedback in the case that I should come to study in franchise university or in Danish university? I have passed +2 and now I have joined first year of bachelor in Nepalese college....I am eager to come Denmark for my further study? How may you help and suggest me?
Hey im kinda late, will master programs be affected?
no
Hello! I'm starting the 25th of August my global business engineering program at VIA Horsens. Will I lose my spot?
No, it only takes place from next year. It's also mentioned like 3 times in the video man, don't skip over it if your life depends on it 😅
It was a very informative interview.
This rules is also applied for Europe citizen students? And only for Collages? If i say what about Roskilde university if i want to do my bachelor's from Roskilde?
applies to everyone, only for university colleges and academias
Is it only AP degrees that are affected, so for example if I go straight into a Bachelor no AP will I be able to finish the course?
I suppose
Well described info 🙂. Can you please give some info on how would this bill would affect masters and PhD in biotechnology field ( genetics / Biotechnology / microbiology ) for international students.
Hey, it does not affect anyone outside of bachelor's level at university collages and academias. Cheers
It seems like there could have been a better way to screen people.
Will students ability to take a year abroad out to danish universities be affected?
If I was accepted at VIA and I was about to start in February 2022 Software Engineering program, that means that they will cancell my spot?
Nope, software engineering and handful of other programmes remain - it's mainly business programmes they cancel
I will attend via marketing management from this year . I was really saddened when I heard the news because i want to do the top up as well. I have already started to learn Danish because of this . ( even if the english thaught top ups would have been available I would have learned Danish . I will live in that country i would be an idiot to not learn it😂) In my opinion the goverment choose to do this because many people have abused this fantastic opportunity. That is why it frustrates me so much. Even tough I am still in a better situation since I know I have to learn Danish if a want to do a top up in Denmark , but those who have been studying there for a while and did not take the Danish language seriously ... well that is another story. I hope that everyone will be able to do their top ups somehow.
So will this gonna effect my chances gettting in when applying for 2022 season? the deadline for the application is January 2022
Well there will likely be no spots for your but that also depends on what you want to study
I am starting AP in Marketing management this september in denmark.
Would i be able to transfer my credits to a bachelor program,after AP degree ?
That depends on specific university
I am going to start my studies in dk this autumn, does that mean I have to switch university from next year?
If you enroll then you can finish your AP degree but you cannot continue to Bachelor's, as that will close. Though it depends on which degree you start, IT/Engineering degrees remain open.
@@StudentSurvivalGuide Im starting a bachelor in business administration in Sonderborg. Will I need to change from next year?
No idea, you need to contact your study administration
@@antoniogrosu9660
Hi! If you contact the study administration, let me know, because I am also starting my studies in Sonderborg and I am a little bit worried. Thanks in advance!!
Hi sir, I wanted to come to denmark - IBA kolding for MBA for January intake 2022, will this course be in English or danish?
No idea
@@StudentSurvivalGuide I have confirmed that students who are applying till 31st December 2021 will go with the same old rules and this new rule will be applicable from 1 January 2022
I am admitted at professional master program recently at niels brock college for 2year after that can i study academic master study ??? will this rule affect me for futher study?
I have no clue about this but I think Niels Brock is private school so it does not concern the government. But double check with them
It's a dream to do my masters in Denmark, it was a bit shocking to me when I heard about cut down English courses. Hey, my subject is business management, but I still need 10-12month to apply, Hope my dream will be fulfilled😭🥺
Master's won't be affected (:
@@StudentSurvivalGuideA tonnes gratitude😻
Very informative video, thanks!
You're welcome, glad you liked it
is it possible to study danish and get su?
no
Sad, I was hoping to come study environmental science in 2026 after I finish my current studies, perhaps it will be different by then.
Wait perhaps I’m mistaken, does this change not affect masters at big universities such as university of Copenhagen
@@absolutewanker9384 it mostly affects bachelors. masters are safe
Huh luckily I'm Masters student. I already thought that my plans of coming to Denmark next year collapse
Well, let's see if they won't change their minds about Master's too
@@StudentSurvivalGuide Pretty sure the percentage of Master's/PHD graduates getting jobs and staying in DK is much higher than 21%
@@subramanyabhat446 I'm sure too! :)
Did i get it right that this does not affect universities like copenhagen business school?
As long as it is university, not university college then no. I guess CBS is university so it should be fine but double check!
Student Survival Guide perfect thank you!
problem in my view is not about investing 150 or 200 football fields to educate and potentially gain a good cohort of hard working taxpayers, but rather another 300-500 football fields spent on things like early warning surveillance radars to defend against well, Zee Russians....basically things which have neither long nor short term economic benefits, while also placing ourselves as target in case of potential conflict... and reckless spending list is not limited to that, unfortunately ;)
Good policy..... keep 3rd worlders out!!!
