As a result of the 2025 national reform of Professional Bachelor’s and Academy Profession programmes, Absalon will introduce new initiatives from September 2026 concerning class sizes, teaching hours, and academic development meetings. The aim is to ensure that you, as a student, experience closer interaction with your lecturers and gain even greater benefit from your education.

The initiatives include:

1. Class Size

At Absalon, each class will have a maximum of 40 students. If a class exceeds 40 students, additional lecturers will be assigned.

2. Minimum Number of Teaching Hours

Each programme will include a minimum of 12 teaching hours per ECTS credit (with the exception of internship periods and the bachelor’s project/examination).

For example, this corresponds to 18 teaching hours per week in a semester with 20 teaching weeks — and more weekly teaching hours if the semester includes fewer teaching weeks.

3. Individual Development Meeting Each Semester

You will be offered a 45-minute, in-person individual development meeting each semester. The meeting provides an opportunity to discuss your academic and professional development throughout your studies.

The new framework will be implemented gradually. Initially, it will apply to students in their first and second semesters, and it will later be extended to the remaining semesters.

If a class has more than 40 students, an additional lecturer will be assigned.

All students starting from summer 2026 will be offered a 45-minute academic development meeting each semester. From summer 2027 onwards, this will apply to all students.

All students will have an increased number of scheduled teaching hours.
