A protest against the Danish government’s plans to close many English-language courses outside the Stock Exchange in Copenhagen on 8 October at 16:00.

Incomplete studies
To get a bachelor’s degree in many of the topics that are threatened, the organizer explains Feli Martinez, students must re-apply halfway through their studies – once they have completed their academic profession (AP), a specialized study course offered mainly by business academies, which provides students with practical skills and a professional qualification.
However, this is not enough to get a job in most cases, Martinez claims.
After doing so, the plan for most students is to apply for ‘Top-Up Degree’, which takes a year and a half. When you have finished filling, you will receive your bachelor’s degree, ”she told CPH POST.
“So in many cases we will not be able to get a bachelor’s degree. Having just one AP degree is useless for what the professional market demands in all parts of the world. ”
