Novo Nordisk Foundation has supported the development of two talent programmes at University College Copenhagen: Copenhagen Honours College Science Teacher and Copenhagen Honours College in Nursing.
Copenhagen Honours College Science Teacher
In 2018, the Foundation awarded almost DKK 28 million over five years to Copenhagen Honours College Science Teacher. The programme is a supplementary educational programme for the most ambitious people studying to become science teachers at University College Copenhagen. The students will be able to take a 2-year course equivalent to 6 months of full-time study (30 ECTS credit points) in addition to their standard programme.
The supplementary programme supports the students in getting an extra scientific boost and strengthening their professional self-confidence. The students will be trained in developing specific courses and will be able to participate in relevant research and development projects and to focus in depth on disciplinary and interdisciplinary challenges.
15 students are admitted to the programme every year.
