The University’s first Sustainability Week in December

At the beginning of December, a sustainability week will be held on campus. Then students and staff can take part in activities, lectures and exhibitions – all with a focus on sustainable development.

Who do you let in? Dare to ask

The autumn semester is now underway and there are lots of people on campus. Most premises on campus can be accessed without an access card, while some areas require an access card. It is important that you do not let unauthorised persons into locked premises.

Reduced range of programmes and courses in 2026

Next autumn, no new students will be admitted to three of the University’s programmes, and in the spring semester of 2027 one more programme will also have no admissions. There will also be fewer courses. This decision has been made by the Vice-Chancellor for the academic year 26/27. The reason is that the University has to achieve a balanced budget by 2026 and the fact that the government now reduces the funding cap in the coming year, i.e. the maximum sum that the University can receive for its educational provision each year.
