The IT-University as the 12th University!
Lots of happy exitement at the IT-University today, as it was announced that, as a part of a new constitution for the Danish Universities, the government has recommended that we now officially be recognised as the 12th official University in Denmark. This recommendation is the result of a very positive external evaluation, which acknowledges the very high level of teaching and research taking place at the institution.
To non-Danes which are used to read about us as the IT University, this might not seem very significant, but on Danish grounds where we are normally referred to as the "IT-højskole" (the IT School, more or less), it makes a lot of difference. Also being recognised as an independant university means that we will no longer formally be connected to the Copenhagen Business School, which might be an advantage sometimes. So a joyous day indeed, especially for one like me who has been here almost from Day 1.
IT-højskolen bliver Danmarks 12. universitet
