And it was also quickly decided where the training should be physically located. The new students were to be welcomed at the Education Center Frederikshavn.
But at the end of the application deadline for the two programmes, there were only 20 applications – of which 16 were 1st priority.
And that number of applicants was not enough. The dream of a new education in Frederikshavn must therefore be abandoned, according to the press release from UCN Nordjylland. The lack of interest means that no teams will be formed.
– We have had an incredibly good collaboration with local actors in Frederikshavn who want to create an education with a focus on the service and tourism professions in the area. But unfortunately we have only received 16 applications as the 1st priority, and from the start we have set a minimum of 20 students in order for us to create an offer that meets our requirements for quality and economy, says rector Kristina Kristoffersen.
She emphasizes that it is not regarding the young people in Frederikshavn Municipality opting out of UCN’s higher education. In fact, since last year there has been a significant increase in the number of applicants with residence in Frederikshavn Municipality, but for other programs at UCN than the new program in Frederikshavn.
