During 2022, the government outlined their ideas on what they would like to do while they are in power through three documents called “Denmark can do more”. For the government to bring those ideas into reality, they need to gain a majority behind each of them in the Danish Parliament.
- Reduce bureaucracy in the public sector – fewer administrative tasks – cut 2.5 billion DKK from the administrative tasks and move them to child and elderly care.
- Regulatory stop – if you want to introduce a new rule (that needs time from administrators) you need to remove another one.
- Reduce humanities and social sciences master’s degrees to one year (from two). The government proposes three types of master’s degrees.
- One-year master’s degree (minimum 15 hours of teaching per week) – 35% of all master’s degrees. Mainly in humanities and social sciences.
- Two-year master’s degrees (with focus on research and specialization) – 50% of all master’s degrees. Mainly in health and natural sciences and technical fields.
- Vocational master’s degree (you can work 25 hours per week while you take a master degree). This can take between two and four years.
