Denmark Cancels International Study Spots - Why? (Interview with VIA UC Lecturer) 2021

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.
