Admissions Reviewed
KOT released the numbers for applications and admissions to post-secondary education programmes in Denmark yesterday. If we look at the numbers for political science (Copenhagen, Århus, Odense)/social science (Roskilde)/public administration (Ålborg), the numbers for 2007 and 2008 are as follows:
| Appliciations | Admissions | |||
| 2007 | 2008 | 2007 | 2008 | |
| Copenhagen | 344 | 279 | 213 | 215 |
| Odense | 104 | 65 | 80 | 62 |
| Roskilde | 662 | 449 | 636 | 507 |
| Ålborg | 126 | 67 | 139 | 75 |
| Århus | 271 | 232 | 235 | 228 |
Note that I have only included first-preference applications.1 In any event, applications are down some 15-20% in Copenhagen and Århus, 32% in Roskilde, 37% in Odense and a staggering 46% in Ålborg. Copenhagen and Århus have managed to keep up admissions, but unless something happens next year, political science/public administration programmes at the smaller universities could very soon be facing a severe economic crisis.
- Also, programmes in Roskilde are organised differently – public administration is not as big as you might be led to believe by these numbers [↩]
