Emergency – University of Copenhagen

The government has made a political deal about a long-term reopening plan. This means that the universities will be allowed to reopen on a limited scale in the course of April. This will make it possible to meet in study groups and to use study facilities and libraries, etc., on campus.

As soon as the University knows the details of which conditions and restrictions will apply, a more specific plan for the reopening of campus will be announced. Until then, campus will remain closed

Students are only allowed to be on campus for exams or classes that cannot be converted to online. Employees must work from home unless they perfrom critical tasks. Read the Danish authorities joint website for COVID-19 information.
