In its meeting on 11 June 2021, the University Board decided on the establishment of new degree programmes taught in English.
Two of the new degree programmes are related to the collaboration in the European Campus of City-Universities (EC2U) alliance. The degree programmes are based in the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Science. The three other degree programmes will be based in the Faculty of Technology. One of these, Master’s Degree Programme in Health Technology, will be realised together with the Faculty of Medicine.
