Here on this page, you will find all updated documents regarding the degree programme resizing and the implementation of the Master's degree reform at Arts. In working with the Master's degree reform, we will involve the entire faculty, and this will take place in three phases.
In each phase, the relevant documents will be made available, and there will be a series of questions for which input is requested. These questions are also part of the template we will ask you to use for your written input.
The faculty management team is looking forward to receiving input, so we can find the best possible solutions for the implementation of the Master's Degree reform together.
Announcement at Arts about the holistic plan for BA and KA
The schedule between the phases is tight, and it will make the collection of contributions much easier if you can use the template for feedback - download template
See the plan for involvement for a full overview of the process of involvement and the questions regarding each phase.
The faculty management team has encountered a challenge we didn't foresee in time. Several employees have expressed a desire for us to publish all the input we receive in fase 1 for the holistic plan. We are, in fact, open to doing this, but on the other hand, there are other employees who do not want their input to be made public. Therefore, in consultation with the faculty's union representatives (TR), we have found a solution that hopefully addresses this challenge as effectively as possible.
Each individual or groups who provide input must indicate whether they will allow us to share their input with the union representatives (TR). If they do not wish to share, their input will not be shared with the TR. Once the deadline for submissions has passed, the faculty management team will prepare a summary of all the input. At the same time, we will give the union representatives access to read all the input we are allowed to share with them in full – and together, we will agree on how the summary should be formulated to ensure it is as comprehensive as possible.
In phase 2, all input will be published for everybody to read. If employees at that point have input they do not want to be made public, they can, as always, talk with their leader or a TR, and they will bring the input forward to be included in the proces.
The deadline for input is 23 October 2024
Input should be sent to artskandidatreform@au.dk
On November 7, the faculty management releases the Arts-part of the proposal from the five deans of Humanities faculties in Denmark (AU, AAU, RUC, SDU, KU) for a national plan for the educational landscape in 2028 – i.e., 75 ECTS and EKA programmes. In the following week (November 11-15), extraordinary meetings will be held in the liasion/collegial bodies where members will have the opportunity to comment on the national plan.
